"Our initial target was 100 pets. We also collaborate with Let's Adopt Indonesia community," she said, Thursday (9/11).

Nurliati explained that cat sterilization is crucial for maintaining their population. Meanwhile, vaccinations are aimed at ensuring the health of both animals and humans, ensuring Jakarta's continued Rabies-Free status.

"We deployed eight doctors and assistants for this activity. The sterilization process implemented a Trap-Neuter-Return system," she explained.
