mass sterilization campaigns,<br\/>&#8211; low-cost operations,<br\/>&#8211; community days,<br\/>&#8211; and actions in different regions of the country.<br\/><br\/>Their objective is simple: to reduce animal overpopulation in order to limit:<br\/>&#8211; abandonment,<br\/>&#8211; mistreatment,<br\/>&#8211; disease,<br\/>&#8211; and long-term animal suffering.<br\/><br\/>Some of these days allow hundreds of animals to be sterilized in a single weekend.<br\/><br\/>These sterilization days require an enormous amount of organization.<br\/><br\/>Spay Panama generally provides:<br\/>&#8211; the vets,<br\/>&#8211; the equipment,<br\/>&#8211; and some of the volunteers.<br\/><br\/>But on site, it&#8217;s often the local associations that have to:<br\/>&#8211; find the venue,<br\/>&#8211; organize the weekend,<br\/>&#8211; get the volunteers together,<br\/>&#8211; and above all find the necessary funds.<br\/><br\/>And that&#8217;s a lot of money.<br\/>Depending on the region and the number of animals being cared for, a single day can require between 5,000 and 6,000 USD in private donations, enabling local people to have their animals sterilized for a pittance.<br\/><br\/>Spay Panama also has an office in Betania, Panama City, and offers low-cost sterilizations by appointment throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"542\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/casafofo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sterilisation-Spay-Panama-e1779034893393-1024x542.jpg?resize=1024%2C542&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31250\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.8893561954060174;width:419px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/casafofo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sterilisation-Spay-Panama-e1779034893393.jpg?resize=1024%2C542&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/casafofo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sterilisation-Spay-Panama-e1779034893393.jpg?resize=300%2C159&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/casafofo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sterilisation-Spay-Panama-e1779034893393.jpg?resize=768%2C407&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/casafofo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sterilisation-Spay-Panama-e1779034893393.jpg?w=1392&amp;ssl=1 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nbsp-mision-patitas-une-initiative-qui-prend-de-l-ampleur\"><strong>\ud83d\udc3e<\/strong><strong> Misi\u00f3n Patitas: a growing initiative<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent years, another important project has also come into being:<br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/misionpatitas.org\/\">Misi\u00f3n Patitas<\/a>.<br\/><br\/>This initiative, supported by the office of the First Lady of Panama, organizes:<br\/>&#8211;
