Colombianimals - Cartagena, Colombia 🇨🇴
Our Partner - Colombianimals
FHAT couldn’t be happier to have partnered with Colombianimals on our first clinic outside of Mexico. 99 animals were sterilized in Albornoz, near Cartagena, Colombia.
Another 21 sterilizations were done at the end of February in Albornoz with funds that remained from our January Clinic.
Natalia Hanson is the driving force behind Colombianimals. Her passion to reduce the overpopulation of dogs and cats in Colombia, has resulted in her achieving an amazing milestone of sterilizing 2000 animals! FHAT is ecstatic to have been part of the clinic that got her to that amazing number.
Congratulations Natalia!
