It was reported that the Town Hall would try to inform all residents in Calasparra of actions being taken so that the perception towards cats progressively changed and there would be more tolerance and understanding towards the people who care for them.
More good news was the report that that a contract was about to be closed with the Clinica Quipar so that street cats can be sterilized and cared for.
Finally, Cat Friendly reports that the local Counciller for the Environment and Animal Welfare had given a commitment to complete the work on the municipal animal centre, in compliance with all the specifications of the laws on animal welfare.
