The Problem

Millions of stray animals suffer in the Mediterranean

The life of a stray dog or cat is a daily struggle for survival. Exposed to the elements without shelter, hungry and thirsty, these animals must scavenge for food in garbage and sleep huddled in precarious places. They suffer from untreated illnesses, infected wounds, and parasites that ravage their bodies. Vulnerable to road accidents, abuse, and predators, they live in constant fear. Females endure repeated, exhausting pregnancies, giving birth to litters of which most of the offspring will not survive. This existence of physical and psychological suffering is marked by hunger, pain, and loneliness.

Health risks: rabies, zoonoses, accidents

Stray animals pose a major health risk to both human populations and domestic animals. Unvaccinated, they become reservoirs of serious diseases such as rabies, which is transmissible to humans through bites and fatal without prompt treatment. They also spread parasites such as fleas, ticks, and worms, vectors of diseases that can affect both humans and pets. Without sterilization, their rapid proliferation exacerbates these health risks exponentially, creating a vicious cycle where each generation multiplies the dangers of epidemics and disease transmission. Managing these stray populations thus becomes a public health issue that extends far beyond the mere question of animal welfare.

Pressure on wildlife

Stray animal populations exert considerable pressure on wildlife, particularly in fragile ecosystems. Opportunistic hunters, stray dogs and cats prey on small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, decimating already vulnerable or endemic species. In islands and protected areas, their impact is particularly devastating: studies show that stray cats are responsible for the extinction of dozens of bird and small mammal species worldwide. This silent threat to biodiversity compounds the challenges already posed by habitat destruction and climate change.

Our solution

Sterilization, the only sustainable solution

Cycle CSVR

Capture → Sterilize → Vaccinate → Release

We help local NGOs increase their sterilization capacity by providing funding, medical supplies, equipment, and training.
Sterilization represents the only humane and effective approach to managing stray animal populations.
Faced with uncontrolled proliferation, some administrations still resort to barbaric methods such as poisoning or mass slaughter, cruel practices that inflict terrible suffering on animals and pose dangers to the environment and public health.
Sterilization, on the other hand, allows for the stabilization and then gradual reduction of populations in a sustainable and ethical manner, while enabling animals to live their natural lives with dignity. It is a scientifically proven solution that combines compassion and pragmatism.

LISTENING

No paternalism. We are here to help NGOs in their work and trust their experience in the field.

PARTNERSHIP

Our mission is to serve NGOs already present on the ground. Our role is to support, amplify, and facilitate the remarkable work accomplished by those already engaged in the field.

IMPACT

Our goal is to provide concrete assistance in reducing the populations of stray cats and dogs. Firstly, because the life of a stray animal is a life of misery, and secondly, because too many stray cats and dogs put significant pressure on wild fauna and flora.
