Cats and Dogs International
Creating sustainable solutions for stray cats and dogs in tourist destinations
Leveraging the tourism industry as a powerful platform for change, we focus on implementing spay and neuter programs and other innovative community-driven initiatives to address the root cause of stray cat and dog over-population.
Partnering with CANDi (Cats and Dogs International) is a powerful way to enhance brand reputation while improving both community well-being and guest experience. With limited veterinary access and a rising stray animal population, visible, humane solutions matter more than ever to today’s socially conscious travelers. CANDi offers consulting and proven, low-cost programs—like spay-neuter initiatives, feeding stations, and guest-friendly concepts like Cat and Dog Cafés—that reduce negative press risks, generate goodwill, and create a cleaner, more welcoming environment.
The result: happier guests, stronger brand image, and lasting impact at a minimal cost.
Our Mission
CANDi partners with local animal welfare groups and relies on dedicated volunteers to bring meaningful, lasting change for stray cats and dogs in resort destinations. Through spay and neuter clinics and other sustainable, tourism-supported programs, we work to improve the lives of these animals and build a more humane future together.
