Inside there are 5 rooms with outdoor areas that give shelter to 100 cats. It is considered one of the most functional ponds in Piedmont. Canile Sanitario The Canile Sanitario, quite close to the previous one, receives stray dogs and cats found on the municipality area and that need care. They are kept under observation for 10 days then, if they don’t need particular therapies, they can be adopted.

Here stray dogs cannot be sheltered, only abandoned or found animals. Besides general donations, the private citizen can donate 5/1000 of his own taxable income to these pounds. Adoption is simple and free of charge, it is sufficient to fill in a form and give the consent.

These colonies can’t be displaced and their care and feeding mustn’t be hindered. About 900 cat colonies are present in our province.
