Working towards a better life for all animals on the island of Mallorca.

Working together with SOS Animales
 
Dr. Karina Pirron works tirelessly at the SOS Animales facility, helping the animals there at minimal cost and maximum effort.

Apart from the work she does with the animals there, she is also one of several vets on the island, committed to the agreement made between the SOS and the municipàlity of Calvia to cut down the amount of feral cats living in the area.  Only with vets who agree to take part in this campaign can we hope to reduce the numbers.

As you can imagine Dr. Pirron spends many hours in SOS where unfortunately the majority of dogs and cats brought there are suffering in one way or another and need medical attention as well as caring for.
Feral Cats

A feral cat (or stray cat, alley cat) is a cat which has been separated from domestication, whether through abandonment, loss, or running away, and becomes wild. The term may also refer to descendants of such cats, but not to wild cats, whose ancestors were never domesticated.

Feral cats may live alone but are usually found in large groups called feral colonies. The average life span of a feral cat that survives beyond kittenhood is usually cited as being less than two years,[1] while a domestic housecat lives an average of 12 to 16 years. However, feral cats aged 19 (Cat Action Trust) and 26 (Cats Protection) have been reported where food and shelter are available.
