A significant number of seagulls, swifts, kestrels, etc. also entered the Municipal Shelter and, with the collaboration of the municipal biologist, were transferred to the "Santa Faz" Wildlife Recovery Center in Alicante.

The mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, highlights “the importance of being trained and prepared to guarantee the well-being of marine animals”

The parish priest of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, José Antonio Gea, will travel to the Municipal Shelter to bless the dogs and cats of the center.

Environmental educators visited the festival areas, encouraging residents to recycle glass to meet the recycling challenge set by Ecovidrio. The residents of Torrevieja recycled a total of 3,153,867 kilograms of glass containers. This means that each resident recycled an average of 31.4 kilograms of glass. Torrevieja has an average of 100 inhabitants per container, and currently has a total of 996 glass recycling containers installed throughout the municipality.

The mayor has reported that all the accommodation facilities (habitats) are finished, so this week all the animals from the current shelter will be moved to this new area.

The service will be provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
