Feline colonies and Act 7/2023: what a council has to be able to prove

The law puts the colony census, trap-neuter-return management and the accreditation of carers in the hands of local authorities. This is what stays on record — and what you can show — when Kobijo handles it.

The colony census, up to date and on a map

Every colony with its record, its registration number and its place on the map; every cat with its identification, its sex and whether it has been neutered. When the question of how many cats there are and where arrives, the answer is already written.

Neutering, with its date and who did it

Every veterinary procedure is recorded with its date, the product and its batch, and the professional who carried it out. That is what turns "we do TNR here" into a file somebody can actually read.

Colony carers, accredited

A card with photo, ID and expiry date that anyone can verify from their phone without logging in. And every visit is clocked in by the person who makes it.

Incidents, with a photo and a follow-up

A neighbour's complaint, an injured cat, food left where it should not be: the incident goes in from a phone with its photo and its date, and it does not go away until somebody closes it.

Inspection reports and the return visit

The report comes out with its attachments and, if anything is still pending, with the date of the return visit. It is ready to go with a technical report without writing it again.

And responsibility, where it belongs

Whoever signs does not have to answer from memory for what a volunteer did: every visit, every incident and every card carries its date and its name.

And the paperwork you have to file?

Inspection reports and colony incidents are two of the eleven reports that come straight out of the day-to-day work, all of them exportable to Excel.
