The Councilor for Animal Welfare, Juan Carlos Caballero, has reported that the City Council has resumed the installation of feeding booths for feline colonies. Specifically, they have been placed in the three cat colonies located in the Central Park of València.
These booths replace the current feeding points for the feline colonies. As explained by the Councilor for Animal Welfare, Juan Carlos Caballero, the goal is to «guarantee a hygienic, clean, and fully integrated food point in the spaces where they are located».
Also, Caballero has recalled that in a first phase, 50 booths were installed in the city’s districts such as Borbotó, Carpesa, Pinedo, El Forn d’Alcedo, Benimàmet, and «now we have launched a second phase to install these hygienic feeding points in the parks and gardens of València».
Thus, the Animal Welfare Office has collaborated with the Parks and Gardens Area and the Autonomous Organization of Parks and Gardens to reorganize the current location of the feeding points to allow their progressive replacement, thereby improving the cleanliness and health conditions of the same.
Therefore, the parks of Marxalenes, Viveros, Parque del Oeste, Jardín de Ayora, and Central Park already have these booths to facilitate the selfless work of the volunteers of the feline colonies, while guaranteeing a hygienic food and shelter point for the animals.
The Animal Welfare Office has registered more than 600 colonies that it monitors, controls, and sterilizes, and has a thousand accredited volunteers to whom it periodically provides training to make them aware of the changes in the new animal welfare law.
