Doganzo is a non-profit animal protection association operating in the municipality of Daganzo de Arriba (Madrid) and the surrounding areas. Its objective is to improve the lives of companion animals, both those that are in a situation of abandonment and those that live with the association’s members in their own homes and are another member of the family.
What does the association do?
· Responsible pet ownership activities: seminars, courses, workshops, outings and various initiatives intended to achieve better coexistence between people and pets and a better understanding of the needs of our companion animals.
It also conducts public awareness and sensitization campaigns with the aim of promoting an attitude of respect and responsibility toward animals.
· Management of cat colonies: they care for cats living on our streets, improving their situation within the colonies themselves. Their project is based on the TNR method (Trap-Neuter-Return), and all cats are individually recorded. They are fed, dewormed, provided with shelters and given any veterinary treatments they require. In addition, residents are informed about the work being carried out and the benefits it brings them. Neutered cats do not mark territory, fight or meow during mating season, and are an excellent, ecological method of pest control. The TNR method is recommended by the WHO and is the only effective method for preventing feline overpopulation in urban areas.
· Adoption and foster homes: responsible adopters are sought for sociable cats from the colonies, orphaned kittens or animals in high-risk situations, as well as animals the association finds abandoned in the municipality. Volunteers find the most suitable home for each animal to ensure a successful and happy coexistence. Until they find a family, the shelter relies on foster homes that temporarily open their doors to them, providing all the love and care they need.
