Teaming - 1€/month micro donations

Meow Dear Catlovers,

Last week, we gathered to protest against the proposed changes to the animal protection law on the Canary Islands.

Just last year, a new law was introduced, assigning responsibility for urban cat populations to the municipalities. The primary tasks of the municipalities include:

✅️ Registering and monitoring cat colonies
✅️ Microchipping the cats
✅️ Prohibiting the relocation of established colonies
✅️ Implementing the “Trap-Neuter-Return” method
✅️ Euthanasia only in cases of illness

❗️The EL CAPITÁN project is working closely with two municipalities on Fuerteventura. This collaboration is built on mutual trust and is an important step for animal welfare. ❗️

⚡️ But we are here to take a clear stand against the current plans of the Canary government to change this law! ⚡️

❌️ The proposed changes would mean: ❌️

Classifying cats as an invasive species
Removing ALL cats from designated nature reserves

▶️ We are deeply concerned and want to express our dismay and opposition through this demonstration.

A huge thank you to everyone who raised their voice for the cats.

Meanwhile our dear Edolfi had to have both ear flaps amputated today due to skin cancer. Cryotherapy was applied to her nose, as it too has been affected by skin cancer.
We hope he will be well soon.

We love all animals and, of course, also care for sick hedgehogs when they cross our path—because every life is precious.

Last but not least, our El Capitan Charity Calendar is also available again, with lots of gorgeous Pictures of Fuerteventuras Cats.

Thank you for your help and support

Mirjam and Julia
