It is an incredible experience to be part of the team running the dog and cat sterilisation clinic here on Sal. Our wonderful veterinarians Thomas, Ines, Corinna and Madueno work non-stop, sometimes performing as many as 60 operations in a day.

And meanwhile, outside the clinic there is a steady flow of people of all ages with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and age. They wait patiently, sometimes for most of the day to improve the lives of their animals by preventing unwanted puppies and kittens.
Incredible to see butch men with their butch dogs being brought for castration and knowing that the doubters who think that Caboverdean people don't care about their pets or don't understand the benefits of sterilisation, are SO WRONG!
