Spay n neuter in mayan community: Colonia Yucatán
Donation protected
Spay and neuter saves lives!
Help us spay and neuter 200 dogs and cats from Colonia Yucatán, a rural town on the north of the Yucatán Peninsula.
Spay and neuter is said to save lives. How?
Spay and neuter reduces the number of accidental or unwanted litters being born. And that means fewer pets going to the streets, where they face a hard life with scarce food and water, at the risk of getting diseases, get hit by cars, or subject to violence like it has happened in Colonia Yucatán.
Why in Colonia Yucatán?
For some years now, the town has been experiencing a growth in the stray pet population, as well as discontent from some neighbors. Dogs and cats have been poisoned (even owned and inside their homes), some have been shot and attacked with machetes.
Worried neighbors have asked us for help.
Colonia Yucatán does not have a veterinarian, nor other way of controlling the dog population in a humane way. Their nearest veterinarian is 45 minutes away by car, a difficult journey for many of the people who move around in bicycles and motorcycles.
Who is doing this?
Im fundraising for the three organizations and 40+ volunteers that have responded to Colonia’s plea, and are teaming up to help the dogs, cats and the good people of Colonia Yucatán.
Kan Cozumel, Mi Amigo de la Calle and Planned Pethood International, along with many year long friends-volunteers-profesionals are setting a Free Spay and Neuter campaign in Colonia Yucatán at the end of June of 2021.
Not only is the goal to spay/neuter 200 pets, all animals will also be vaccinated and dewormed.
Veterinary consultations will be offered, as well as Education and sensitizing activities for kids and adults.
We ask you to join this effort and make a donation.
