Two days in the books and we’ve fixed several owned and feral cats, and several dogs. We also helped a kitty who didn’t come home for a week and returned with a badly broken jaw, some dogs with heart conditions, and a dog with a mass. The Galapagos authorities require all dogs and cats to be sterilized, with the ultimate goal of eradicating them completely from the islands due to the fact that they are not native and can cause problems for local wildlife. Not sure they’ll ever happen but it’s nice to visit a place where there aren’t stray dogs and cats everywhere you look!
