Brief insight into the work of SOFA

1. We conduct regular free sterilization-clinics at the transit-home and field-clinics in various parts of Kandy and surroundings followed up by vaccination-camps.

2. Anyone can get his cat or dog sterilized free of charge on our account at the University Veterinary Clinic and in three private vet-clinics working with us.

3. We accommodate abandoned puppies and kittens and try to re- home them.

4. We catch dogs in town and take them to the transit-home, which earlier was a Municipal dog-pound, where they are being de-wormed, treated if necessary, sterilized, and tattooed in the ear and vaccinated. When they have well recovered, we return them to the place of capture, but handicapped or sick animals we keep in our care and try to give them for adoption.

5. For cats we have no facilities at the transit-home, but some of our members provide a protected space, where stray-cats can recover after sterilization and abandoned kittens are being looked after until they are being adopted.

6. We provide free treatment for accident-victims or any sick animal, may it be a homeless one or a pet, whose owner cannot afford the cost of treatment.
