Reducing municipal responsibility regarding community cats to “capture and sterilize on an occasional basis” is a mistake that blocks many local councils and increases public spending.
In my latest opinion column published in La Crónica del Parque, I analyze the comprehensive roadmap required by current regulations:
- Planning and mass sterilizations: The need for intensive action to achieve budgetary efficiency and control the population.
- Municipal legal framework: Prioritizing collaboration with non-profit organizations over privatizing the service.
- Alignment with the 2026–2030 Action Plan: Obtaining funds and grants through financial reports and monitoring indicators.
The management of community cats is no longer a minor issue and has become an indicator directly linked to the quality of local governance.
