The cornerstone of our work is the Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program.

This internationally recognized method involves humanely trapping feral cats, neutering or spaying them to prevent reproduction, and then returning them to their colony. This not only stabilizes the population over time but also reduces fighting and territorial disputes within the colonies.

However, our most crucial initiative is the implementation of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). This internationally recognized approach involves humanely trapping feral cats, neutering or spaying them to prevent breeding, and then returning them to their colony. TNR is a far more effective and humane solution than traditional cat removal methods. The Asoc de Amigos de los Gatos de Calpe (Association of Friends of the Cats of Calpe) is a registered charity dedicated to the well-being of feral cat colonies in our beautiful coastal town. By preventing unwanted litters, TNR helps to stabilize feral cat populations over time. This not only improves the lives of the existing cats by reducing competition for resources but also benefits the community as a whole. A controlled feral cat population minimizes nuisance potential conflicts with humans.

TNR offers a multitude of benefits. By preventing unwanted litters, it reduces the strain on local shelters and rescues. Additionally, a controlled population minimizes competition for resources within the colony, leading to healthier cats. Furthermore, responsible cat management minimizes the impact on local wildlife and the environment. Our dedication extends beyond immediate care. We actively raise awareness about the importance of TNR and the positive impact it has on both feral cat populations and the community in Calpe. We collaborate with local authorities and veterinary clinics to ensure our efforts are aligned and effective. Asoc de amigos de Los Gatos de Calpe relies on the generosity of our community. Donations and volunteer support are essential in allowing us to continue providing vital services for these often-overlooked members of our town. Together, we can create a more compassionate and responsible approach to feral cat management in Calpe.
