As many people know, there are many cat shelters in Spain. In the Costa Blanca region alone, the number is already at 38 shelters.
Fortunately, there are also many people who try to support these shelters with a good heart through donations and/or volunteer work.
In practice, it often works out that people prefer not to donate money but do so through products. Think of cat food, cleaning products, small tools for maintenance/repair of accommodations, toys, etc.
Despite the fact that we support all these generous initiatives, we (as a food supplier but also as a family) have experienced that there is often an imbalance or dis-balance among the cats. How does this happen?
Everyone can donate, the better off, but also the less fortunate. The challenge lies in this; People contribute what they can afford financially. In practice, this translates into shelters that receive a very wide range of food and logically also feed it.
The disadvantage of a constantly changing diet is that it leads to health problems in the cats. An imbalance arises from which new problems arise. See it as a chain reaction that takes place. Certainly in an environment in which many animals are relatively close together, without too much space or privileges.
