It all starts with an idea. How to fund our next sterilization campaign. Philippe feeds about 25 female cats and 15 male cats in an estate in Palmeraie. They are safe, but residents are asking for the number of cats to be stabilized. A cat in the countryside is a valuable ally for hunting cockroaches, snakes, and even scorpions. But overpopulation is always a challenge. So, we manage with contraceptive pills. But we need a long-term solution. One day, the idea of sewing and selling sardines to fund the operation emerged. It’s easier to engage donors for a specific project. So everyone got involved. Philippe photographed and listed the cats to have an accurate working list. And he negotiated a “group rate” with the veterinarian. Then Abdel sewed the sardines, Sylvie filled them, and everyone started hawking our little fish.
