Kapon for All Pets or KfAP is a proposed local ordinance by PAWS that aims to make FREE kapon more regular, accessible, and sustainable for indigent pet owners and their companion animals.
Here’s how KfAP works:
First, the Local Government Unit (LGU) provides incentives to participating private veterinary clinics. These clinics may avail of tax incentives and/or discounted business permits from the LGU.
In return, these clinics will provide FREE spay and neuter services for the pets of qualified indigent pet owners, as certified by the City Veterinarian.
This allows pet owners who may not have the means to afford the procedure to receive free kapon for their pets right inside the private vet clinics.
How many animals can be helped? For example, if 10 private veterinary clinics in a particular city participate under the KfAP program, and each clinic fixes 10 animals per month, that already means 100 animals fixed monthly in that city, or 1,200 animals in one year.
This is on top of what the City may already be doing in their “Araw ng Tanggap” at the City Veterinarian’s Office or in different barangays when they do on-site spay-neuter (SN). This is also in addition to the animal welfare NGO’s SN outreach program partnerships with the LGU.
Through this system, kapon is institutionalized not only within the LGU operations, but private partners within the jurisdiction are able to actively give back to the community.
With a KfAP ordinance, kapon is more continuous, scalable, and accessible to those who are in need of it.
Councilors and LGU officials may request a copy of the proposed ordinance by emailing Atty. Anna Cabrera, PAWS Executive Director, at [email protected].
Incidentally, all Metro Manila Mayors have already received electronic and hard copies of the KfAP from PAWS as early as 2022.
