From Operation Git-Meow

La Operación Git-Meow ayuda a la población de gatos salvajes en la Estación Naval de los EE. UU. en la Bahía de Guantánamo, Cuba y en el área de Washington, DC. En Guantánamo, trabajamos con la Estación Naval para proporcionar microchips y vacunas para los gatos salvajes/comunitarios, y acogemos y adoptamos gatos y gatitos para los residentes de la base. Transportamos algunos gatos y gatitos adoptables al área de DC para su adopción para crear conciencia sobre las condiciones en Guantánamo. Ayudamos a los residentes con el costo de traer sus mascotas de regreso a los EE. UU. Nuestro objetivo final es asegurar una excepción a la política de la Marina para proporcionar clínicas gratuitas de captura/castración/vacunación/liberación en Guantánamo, financiadas por SPCA International como una alternativa a la política actual de eliminar la población a través de la eutanasia y disparando a los gatos salvajes.

Adopt a pet
