Companion for Life
The project aims to establish new EU rules and regulations that recognize dogs and cats as legal family members while respecting their unique nature. It also supports dogs and cats in need by facilitating adoptions and providing assistance in both routine and emergency situations in Europe and North America.Initially promoted by Fondazione Capellino, the project has been fully sustained by Almo Nature since September 2021. Almo Nature supports its operation and covers all running costs.

Europe initiatives
Through Adopt Me, new adopters can register the adoption of their cat or dog. Each adoption generates a month's worth of free food stored at Almo Nature's Love Food Bank. The food is then regularly distributed to shelters registered through the initiative.
Food is also distributed to associations that assist animal companions in households facing financial difficulties.

In collaboration with the University of Milano-Bicocca and an international team of Animal Law attorneys specializing in Comparative Animal Law, we have drafted a document that will serve as the foundation for the next phase: creating a proposal to be submitted to the European Commission and generating a petition to be addressed to all dog and cat owners.
