In Andradina, animal protection initiatives have reached a milestone with over 250 cats sterilized and microchipped in the Jardim Europa region. These efforts aim to strengthen public policies for population control and responsible pet ownership.

Starting August 24, a mobile sterilization unit (Castramóvel) will operate at the Vila Mineira health center to serve the Piscina, Vila Rica, Vila Mineira, and Vila Messias neighborhoods. Local officials stated that combining sterilization with microchipping enhances the municipality’s capacity for animal protection and tracking.
