Nadur Local Council and Gozo SPCA have announced the launch of the first local council cat café in Gozo at 9.30am on Sunday, the 7th of June in St James Street, in the presence of Parliamentary Secretary for Public Dialogue and Information Dr Chris Said LLD MP. This occasion will also mark the official closure of the free pet neutering project in Nadur.
The Nadur neutering project was launched in February, following up on the successful pilot project in San Lawrenz and it has been another unqualified success. Since late February 170 cats and 26 dogs have been neutered in Nadur, which will undoubtedly save many hundreds and ultimately thousands of unwanted puppies and kittens from being born.
The Nadur residents have learned much about the benefits of neutering their pets through the Gozo SPCA story boards which have been set up in the Council offices’ foyer and through the educational leaflets handed out, both in English and Maltese.
It must emphasised how smoothly the entire project has run; this is thanks to Nadur Council, Gozo SPCA and veterinary surgeon Dr Frank Galea working together as a team in total harmony – differing organisations with a common aim to improve animal welfare in Gozo.
This neutering project would never have been possible without the generous participation of The Blue Cross, Britain’s Pet Charity, who funded the cat neutering and ITV Grenzenlos, Germany for funding the dogs. Gozo SPCA and Nadur Council are delighted that Mr Steve Goody, The Blue Cross Director of Companion Animal Welfare will be attending the launch as he will be in Gozo for the weekend visiting Gozo SPCA, who are Welfare Associates of The Blue Cross. The Blue Cross and the Ministry for Resources and Rural Affairs jointly funded the purchase of the neutering van being used for the project.
A couple of years ago Rachel Smith from WSPA (the World Society for the Protection of Animals) visited Nadur, giving advice on the setting up of cat cafes. She will be pleased to know that her suggestions will be activated in Nadur. Nadur Council and Gozo SPCA’s wish is for residents to accept and respect street cats as part of the environment, whilst providing a safe, clean and attractive feeding station, which will enhance the neighbourhood
