Local councils across Malta are set to receive a total of €750,000 to develop new facilities for pets and their owners. This funding is part of a scheme aimed at creating more dog parks and cat cafés in various localities.
The initiative seeks to improve public spaces, making them more welcoming for pets and encouraging responsible pet ownership. These new facilities will provide dedicated areas where dogs can play safely and where cat lovers can interact with felines in a café setting.
An information meeting was recently held for local councils to explain the details of the scheme. This meeting allowed council representatives to learn how they can apply for the funding and implement these projects in their respective areas.
The scheme highlights the government's commitment to supporting animal welfare and providing better amenities for the community. It is expected to benefit both residents and their animal companions by offering improved recreational spaces.
