Stray cat management initiatives in Iberia

Overview

Local authorities in Spain and Portugal are implementing programs to manage free-roaming cat populations through sterilization and welfare protocols.

In El Campello, Spain, the City Council launched a multi-year contract to manage an estimated 1,800 stray cats. The plan utilizes the ‘CER’ method—capture, sterilization, and return—with a goal of sterilizing approximately 440 cats annually. This initiative, which includes vaccination and veterinary care, follows previous unsuccessful attempts to tender the service at a lower budget.

In Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal, the CROAC is expanding its ‘CED’ program through increased weekly interventions. Recent operations in Santiago do Escoural involved the capture and sterilization of several cats to improve local animal welfare and population management.
