The Los Santos de la Humosa Town Hall reminds that feeding stray cats is prohibited and harms the control of feline colonies.

The Los Santos de la Humosa Town Hall has issued a warning to residents: no one should feed stray cats. The council asserts that this practice contravenes the management and control work already being carried out on the feline colonies in the municipality.

According to the municipal statement, food left in public spaces generates unpleasant odours and can attract other animals, such as insects or cockroaches. Furthermore, both the leftovers and the containers used dirty the streets, something the Town Hall aims to prevent.

The ban applies to the entire municipal area and seeks to protect the control work that the council carries out with the cat colonies. The Town Hall insists that these animals should not be fed externally, as it disrupts the balance of the colonies and the cleanliness of the environment.

Residents who wish to contribute to the welfare of the cats can contact the Town Hall for information on the appropriate ways to participate. The management of feline colonies is a municipal responsibility, and any external contributions must be channelled through official channels.

The warning comes after several unauthorized feeding points were detected in the municipality. The council reminds that the control of these colonies is a regulated task and that citizen collaboration must always be coordinated with municipal services.
