Ferraz de Vasconcelos, a municipality in Brazil, is conducting a free sterilization program for dogs and cats, with registration ending on Thursday, the 19th. Pet owners can register as many animals as they wish, provided they are of mixed breed (sem raça definida). This initiative is organized by the local municipal government to promote responsible pet ownership and animal welfare.

The sterilization efforts will take place on Friday, the 20th, and Saturday, the 21st, from 8 AM to 4 PM at Estação Cidadania. Municipal authorities are emphasizing the importance of this program as part of broader public policies aimed at ensuring animal welfare and managing the reproduction of pets responsibly. Residents interested in participating must register online through the municipal website, providing identification and proof of residence.

On the day of the surgery, pet owners are advised to ensure their animals fast for 8 hours and withhold water for 3 hours prior to the procedure. This program underscores the municipality's commitment to enhancing animal care and reducing the overpopulation of pets within the community, aiming to foster responsible pet practices among the residents.
