The Sanctuary has a no-kill policy and cares
for animals whose age, disposition or disability make them unlikely
to find homes. Many of our animals are road accident or trauma cases
and therefore need special love and attention. These animals are
given the opportunity to live out their lives with dignity.
For
stray cats which are on the streets, they are trapped and sterilized,
then returned to their normal habitat. In this way the Sanctuary
hopes to control the stray population. An adoption centre is also
in operation. Animals put up for adoption are spayed, neutered,
dewormed and vaccinated. Any wildlife
brought to the shelter are treated and once healthy are then returned
back to nature.
One
of the centre’s objectives is to educate adults & children
to ensure their peaceful co-existence with both their wild neighbours
as well as domestic animals. An ongoing education programme
is in process with all schools on the island in 2003. |
