18th September, 2024 – The Busot Animal Rescue Concern (BARC) has received a significant boost thanks to the contribution from the renewable energy company X-ELIO for the launch of the new facilities that were inaugurated today. Thanks to this collaboration, the renowned Busot animal shelter will open ‘Catland,’ a new area dedicated exclusively to cats.
X-ELIO has funded significant improvements at BARC, including the perimeter fencing of the new Catland residence, the donation of cat houses, a materials storage facility, the installation of safety nets, and the provision of equipment for the feline residence. These improvements will enable BARC to continue its work of rescuing, caring for, and rehoming lost, abandoned, or mistreated animals in this region of Alicante.
This project reaffirms the renewable energy company’s commitment to the local community and its natural and animal environment. The initiative is part of the Nature Plan that X-ELIO implements in the municipalities where it operates, with the aim of promoting the native flora and fauna.
The inauguration event today was attended by Alejandro Morant, Mayor of Busot, accompanied by members of the local government, the councilor for animal welfare, and the councilor for the environment; Pat Earle, president and driving force behind BARC; and Isabel Ruiz Franco, Sustainability and Communications Manager at X-ELIO.
During the event, Isabel Ruiz Franco from X-ELIO emphasized: “For X-ELIO, it is essential to give back to the communities that support us. With this project, we are not only improving BARC’s facilities, but we are also contributing to the proper care of Busot’s most vulnerable animals. We are proud to support such a noble cause that is committed to the environment and animal welfare.”
For his part, the Mayor of Busot, Alejandro Morant, highlighted the importance of the project for the local community: “The collaboration between X-ELIO and BARC is a great example of how businesses, the public sector, and environmental organizations can work together for the benefit of the community. The new facilities will allow BARC to continue its essential work of animal rescue and protection in Busot.”
Pat Earle, President of BARC, also expressed her gratitude to X-ELIO: “X-ELIO’s support allows us to continue rescuing and caring for animals in danger. Thanks to these improvements, Catland and the rest of our facilities are better equipped, making it easier for us to offer a safer and more welcoming environment for the animals we rescue.”
Following the speeches, the official inauguration of Catland took place, followed by a tour of the renovated facilities.
