Nicosia, Cyprus. The Animal Party has proposed sterilising around 60 cats living at the central prisons to control their population.

The party called for immediate implementation of a state-funded programme in cooperation with veterinary services and animal welfare organisations.


Management plan

According to the party, the proposal outlines a comprehensive management model that could serve as a blueprint for other closed or controlled areas across the Republic.

The plan includes registering and electronically identifying the cats, mapping colonies within the prison grounds and introducing controlled feeding to replace the unregulated distribution of food.

Veterinary care and adoption

The proposal also provides for veterinary checks and treatment, as well as an adoption programme.
