  The Calvià Town Hall promotes a campaign of identification and sterilisation of domestic cats through a collaboration agreement with all the veterinary clinics in the municipality, which also has the collaboration of the Official College of Veterinarians of the Balearic Islands.
  
  It is an initiative intended to raise awareness about the importance of identifying and sterilising pets, reducing dropouts and avoiding health and behaviour problems. Likewise, it complies the new municipal ordinance on the welfare and possession of animals living in the human environment, approved in March 2017, which obliges the owners of cats that have access to public spaces to their identification and castration, according to article 3 of the ordinance.

   

  
  The Campaign of identification and castration of domestic cats in Calvià will last for three months, and will start from the forthcoming 15^th September until 15^th December 2017.

• 
  During this period, cat owners who want to take part in the campaign, will have special discounts for the identification and sterilisation of their pets, which offer both the veterinary clinics participating in the campaign and Calvià Town Hall.
  
  Cat owners can go to any of the veterinary clinics participating in the campaign, where they must present a certificate of registration that proves to be a neighbour of the municipality to take advantage of the offered discounts. Likewise, all cats must be duly identified and registered and the owner will be obliged to keep it in good hygienic-sanitary conditions, as well as to perform any treatment declared mandatory. 

  The agreement is signed by the Deputy Mayor for Tourism, Trade and Urbanism, Antonio García Moles, and all veterinary clinics in the municipality of Calvià, as well as the Official College of Veterinarians of the Balearic Islands, with the assistance of the Councillor for Environment, Francisca Muñoz, and the representative of Emvetib (Veterinary Businessmen of the Balearic Islands). Aspro Ocio also collaborates in the campaign.
