Information:
The Animal Care Association of The Gambia (ACA) is a
Banjul registered animal charity working in Gambia to
help mostly stray dogs and cats. It was started in 2009
by a group of people who were concerned about the plight
of feral cats and dogs, many of which could be found
roaming the streets and beaches.
These animals often have to find their own food with
little shelter and are usually in a poor physical state
and in need of urgent medical attention from a local
vet.
ACA is a membership based organisation with members
in the UK, Europe and The Gambia.
Charity Goals: • Give support to people fostering
abandoned animals • Re-home abandoned animals
• Enhance their living conditions • Promote the
education of the general public on animal welfare
• Make money available for neutering animals to reduce
reproduction
Donations:
If you wish to make a charity donation from overseas
then you can contact them online and the ACA will make
arrangements for funds to be sent to them. All the money
you send is spent on the care, welfare and fostering
of stray dogs and cats.
A donation will help the Animal Care Association of
Gambia vaccinate, neuter and provide medical veterinary
treatment for animals on a continuous basis and to maintain
their 'Animal Foster' area as a short term solution.
There are occasions when they identify an animal in
need of treatment, before it has significant problems
and it is taken to a vet. At the clinic it will have
a comprehensive health check-up, be vaccinated and get
all necessary treatments. If the creature is not already
neutered, this will be carried out and marked on their
skin for future identification. From here it is released
back to the environment where the animal was found. |
