Gozo SPCA has said that to maintain its support for the 80 stray cat colony feeders in Gozo by providing them with free food, it would cost between €1,200 – €1,500 per month.

This follows the Society’s statement on Friday, when it said that it was sadly having to suspend giving out free food for stray cat feeders in Gozo.

Due to the decline in public donations as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, and now the legal restrictions being placed on charity collection boxes and charity shops, the Society said that it needs an additional income of at least €500 a month, which may need to increase to €1,000 depending on how the situation develops during the year.

Gozo SPCA stressed that “this is not a one off just for this month and next, but an ongoing issue. One family has already pledged to donate €20 by direct debit every month – we need many more pledges like that. €20 buys a 20kg bag of cat food. €8 pays for 24 tins.”
