The Torrevieja City Council has announced a new contract for veterinary services at the Municipal Animal Shelter. The contract was signed by the Animal Protection Councillor, Concha Sala, and the Chief Executive Officer of IVC Evidensia Iberia, Antonio Clemente. This contract establishes comprehensive medical, clinical, and surgical care, along with the sterilisation of cats and support for feral cat colonies, a pioneering initiative among many local councils.

Key provisions include twenty-four hour hospitalisation and intervention for lost, abandoned, or stray animals within the municipality. The plan also addresses preventive healthcare for animals housed in the shelter or in foster homes. This commitment aims to ensure that all animals receive necessary care.

In an added layer of support, the contract also incorporates veterinary attention for pets belonging to individuals in vulnerable situations. This aspect of the contract highlights the city’s dedication to animal welfare and community support, ensuring proper care for animals regardless of their owners’ circumstances.

Overall, this initiative represents a significant step toward enhancing animal care in Torrevieja, reinforcing the city’s responsibilities towards both domestic pets and community animals.
