172 animals helped at our Galapagos campaign last week! At the World Vets clinic on San Cristóbal Island, volunteers provided free veterinary care to local pets, including 127 spay/neuter surgeries, 34 medical consultations, and a number of other surgeries and complex procedures, including the surgical removal of bladder stone the size of a baseball from a dog! This is life-changing care for animals and critically important work to help not only pets but the many endangered wildlife on the islands. Shout out to our dedicated volunteers, donors, supporters, and staff who have helped make last week’s campaign a great success.
We congratulate the responsible pet owners who bring their pets to these clinics to get them sterilized and keep them healthy. Their dedication is especially important in Galapagos, where introduced species can threaten the islands’ delicate ecosystems and native wildlife. Alongside caring for owned pets, our team is also committed to managing stray populations in a humane way. During the campaign, the World Vets team trapped and sterilized 44 feral cats and provided comprehensive treatments for internal and external parasites.
Big thanks to the ongoing collaboration of GAD Municipal de San Cristóbal Galápagos and Agencia de Bioseguridad para Galápagos (ABG) whose partnership and support are critical to the success of the program.
