In Soajo, three further shelters will be replaced next to the São Bento health centre, using the wood to build more resistant, cleaner facilities while expanding support for monitored feline colonies.

This initiative is part of a broader animal welfare strategy, including a capture, sterilisation, and return programme that, last year, enabled 280 feline sterilisations and, over five years, resulted in 1,596 adoptions of microchipped, sterilised dogs and cats.
