To Eradicate rabies from the Country, Vaccination of Cats and Control of Cat population is also important. Cat bites cause around 10 human deaths every year. Unfortunately, The National Programme does not vaccinate or sterilize cats.
As a solution for this, we have started cat population control sterilization programmes and vaccination of cats against rabies in collaboration with Sri Lanka Animal Protection Association (SLAPA)
First programme was held in Kirulapona on 8th August, 2010. 39 cats were sterilized and 44 cats were vaccinated at this programme.
