According to hotelier Ewald Biemans, President of Fundashon Stimami Sterilisami, Bucuti & Tara will match every dollar or florin that comes in.
Here are the results for 2022
With only one clinic, VSH Veterinary Specialty Hospital, as a partner, the collaboration was successful. Stimami Sterilisami neutered 3,686 dogs and cats, which means that since the program was started in 2016, 31,410 cats and dogs, were helped.
That number for just one clinic is remarkable. In 2023, with six clinics, they are hoping to reach 6,000 procedures, says the Crescenzia Biemans, Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort, Executive Team, Legal & Public Relations and Tara Eco-Horeca Supplies, Managing Director, on behalf of the foundation.

Why sterilize?
We have all seen the abandoned and unwanted animals on the street, and we must avoid this overpopulation, it reflects badly on the island, and results in much suffering for our four legged population. We will avoid the barbaric practice of killing the abandoned and unwanted animals, if we spay and neuter.
