The sterilization of pets is prepared for 125 individuals. "Sterilization collaborates with PDHI DKI Jakarta with a quota of 125 pets," he said.

"In total, until the end of 2022, we have prepared a quota of 500 cats consisting of 400 males and 100 females in sterilization which is divided into four stages of activity," he said.
