World Vets Helps 140 Animals

IMG-20250311-WA0065World Vets recently completed another successful campaign in San Cristóbal, Galápagos, providing 140 animals with much-needed free veterinary care. The World Vets team performed 95 sterilizations, 42 medical consults, and several critical surgeries, ensuring better health and well-being for the island’s pets. Additionally, several stray cats were trapped and sterilized to help control overpopulation and safeguard the island’s wildlife.

This important work continues with the support of GAD Municipal de San Cristóbal Galápagos and the Agencia de Bioseguridad para Galápagos, as well as our dedicated volunteers, donors, and followers. Their contributions make a global impact, helping us bring veterinary care to animals in need worldwide.

Key Donation Strengthening Wildlife Protection in Galápagos

Truck Donation FB-12-19-25 (3)San Cristóbal, Galápagos – World Vets has reinforced its Galapagos conservation efforts with a major donation to the Galápagos National Park Directorate (DPNG) aimed at enhancing wildlife protection on San Cristóbal Island.  Dr Cathy King, CEO of World Vets was there to make the presentation to speak to the audience of local authorities, park rangers  and members of the community about the important work being done.  In 2024, World Vets responded to over 650 wildlife cases and continues the work into 2025 with a veterinary team available 24/7 to respond to wildlife emergencies on San Cristobal Island.

The donation included a 4×4 truck, made possible with financial support from the SeaWorld Conservation Fund, and a zodiac boat with an engine, via contributions made in memory of Joan Wattles. These resources will significantly improve the park’s Rapid Response Network of which World Vets is the partner NGO, ensuring faster response times to both land and sea incidents.  We thank these generous donors for supporting this important work to build the capacity for wildlife rescue and response in Galapagos.  These important donations enhance the Wildlife Rescue Center built by World Vets in 2024 (with support from SeaWorld Conservation Fund)  which serves as the central hub for wildlife rescue on San Cristobal Island.

This initiative is part of a broader cooperation agreement between DPNG and World Vets, highlighting the power of international partnerships in preserving the Galápagos’ unique biodiversity.
