Surgeries on San Cristobal

462530592_10232336763777206_1730834739553240924_n-CathyAnother successful sterilization campaign on San Cristobal Island provided 156 spay-and-neuter surgeries for cats and dogs. Over 217 animals were provided with free veterinary services, including 58 health checkups, parasite prevention, and various other treatments. World Vets’ team of volunteers from the U.S. helped deliver this important veterinary care to the pets of Galapagos, all at zero-cost to local pet owners.

We are grateful for the local collaboration with GAD Municipal de San Cristóbal Galápagos, Animal Balance, and Agencia de Bioseguridad para Galápagos who help make these sterilization clinics and veterinary services accessible to Galapagos residents. Thanks to all of our supporters worldwide whose contributions to World Vets’ programs benefit thousands of animals every year.
