Limassol municipality expands stray cat sterilization program

The Municipality of Limassol has announced the extension and expansion of its stray cat sterilization and deworming program for an additional twelve months. This decision follows the successful completion of an initial project which covered the city center, Vathkeia Park, and the Garyllis River area.

The previous phase resulted in 690 sterilizations and dewormings at a total cost of 40,000 euros. Authorities stated that the initiative has effectively contributed to population management, public health, and animal welfare. Due to the positive feedback, the municipality is now expanding the reach of the project to cover the entire extent of its municipal boundaries.

A core priority of the new phase is to support large colonies of stray cats by providing specialized sterilization vouchers to volunteers who manage these groups daily. Interested individuals are invited to register via a dedicated online form provided by the municipality to facilitate access to these resources. The project continues to prioritize animal welfare and urban hygiene through systematic population control.
