adoptions achieved
In 2019, the activity allowed 24,557 cats and dogs to receive 736,716 solidarity meals in Italy, France, Germany, Belgium, and Holland. The Identification & Registration of dogs and cats program (I&R) financially supported the I&R international conference that took place in Berlin on November 6, 2019, with the aim of taking stock of the present European legislation and reviving the path to a unique model of identification of dogs and cats, valid for all EU countries. For 2020, the objective is to continue with the 2019 activities, further reinforcing the action of Fondazione Capellino among its stakeholders.
A highly innovative I&R project is under development, which will be launched in Europe in the first semester of 2021.
The decision has been taken to use the RespectMe program to support the cats and dogs living in families facing economic difficulties, in order to prevent their abandonment for necessity.
With regard to the AdoptME program, the decision has been taken to increase the efforts, promoting an awareness campaign among the European population, in cooperation with the Almo Nature foods for dogs and cats.
The project’s 2020 budget amounts to Euro 1,827,050.
The reports will be available from the beginning of July 2021
How the project is funded
The profits of Almo Nature after tax, investments and expenses, are used to finance the projects of the Fondazione Capellino, whose overall single goal is to act on and support initiatives that demonstrate respect for life in all its forms.

Almo Nature produces high quality pet foods for dogs and cats using 100% natural ingredients. Its profits fund Fondazione Capellino’s projects that protect dogs, cats and biodiversity.
The project’s goal is to safeguard biodiversity, with particular attention to the habitats of large mammals and predators threatened by the expansion of human activities.
Villa Fortuna
Piloting a new agricoltural model that is replicable, that produces food, enriches biodiversity and is economically competitive.
The aim of this project is to replace the existing approach of assessing human impact based on sustainability with one that measures impact in terms of creation and destruction of biodiversity.
