After this petition was raised  and after  many meetings and  letters sent to the Karnataka Animal Welfare board, (who is required as per the rules 2023 to formally instruct the municipal authorities to perform cat neuter and ARV) the Member Secretary of Karnataka Animal Welfare Board (KAWB),  Dr Srinivasan with the guidance and direction of the Principal Secretary, Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Services (AHVS) , Ms Rohini  Sindhuri,  Issued the above simple letter to the municipal authority.

We hope that this will be taken up in a proper, sustained yet  compassionate and safe manner with the right infrastructure that is needed to protect cats. After all, cats are also carriers of rabies like dogs and the city also needs to have a compassionate and structured way of managing cat population and disease. 

it is now the job of the BBMP/GBA and  the and the new Corporation authorities under GBA to take this up on a structured and informed basis with cat and animal welfare experts . A Letter to the chief Commissioner has already been shared and is available on our block

Thank you .
