CLINICS.... From 2013 ( when we started with 2 or 3 day clinics 3 times a year) to the end of 2022 we have spayed and neutered 2189 dogs and cats and vaccinated 2650. A huge number of these are thanks to Dr. Sara Grosso who in 2017 joined AWI as our full time vet. She has been wonderful , hard working and tireless in her running of the clinic and the vaccination campaigns. Not only has she managed to vaccinate and sterilize a huge number of cats and dogs, but she has quietly created a great awareness and bond with the local population. The number of calls, visits and requests from the inhabitants of Ilha has grown hugely. People now really care and look after their animals, and the strays that live with or around them.
