The initiative
In particular, Ferrari continues: «Cats will be sterilized free of charge in our veterinary ambulances in the stages of the SterilizzaTour, while We always guarantee sterilizations for dogs free of charge but in veterinary clinics affiliated with Lav. The objective is to encourage the diffusion, especially in the peripheral areas of cities and in small municipalities, of the culture of identification and care of family animals and the containment of births which often generate abandonments and entrances into kennels”.
