40 animals fit for adoption are housed in a new space
Located in the vicinity of CROAM - Centre for Official Animal Collection of Matosinhos, the new Adoption Park has 21 boxes, properly ventilated and protected from the weather, in an investment of around 125 thousand euros.
Thanks to a remodelling contract of the CROAM facilities, it was also possible to create a cattery, with proper areas for both baby and adult cats.
The facilities where the CROAM employees work were also remodelled, taking into account the current needs. The municipality invested more than 200 thousand euros in the creation of better working conditions at the level of medical office, pharmacy, surgery recovery room, hospitalization rooms for dogs and cats, operating room, laboratory, auditorium, changing rooms, toilets, bar / dining area, among other facilities.
As part of the commemorations of Animal Day, celebrated on October 4th, the Mayor of Matosinhos, Luísa Salgueiro, and the councilman for the Animal Cause, António Correia Pinto, visited today the new CROAM facilities and the Adoption Park.
For Luísa Salgueiro, "Matosinhos has made a path of excellence in the area of animal protection". "These facilities are one more step in this path", stressed the mayor.
Still within the scope of the Animal Day celebrations, CROAM and Mar Shopping are promoting an adoption campaign. Until the end of the month, it is possible to visit a photo exhibition of some dogs available for a responsible adoption at CROAM.
The images of these animals also serve as inspiration for the pastime "Cartoons - The Animals", aimed at students in the 4th year of schooling of the Public Basic Schools of the County.
At this moment, about 230 animals are under the care of the CROAM, in different areas, according to the specific situation of each one.
