During the Be a Man campaign! Be Humane! Spay-Neuter-Adopted in 2007, the killing of community dogs at the Cluj slaughterhouse service was stopped through an official partnership between NUCA and DSVSA Cluj. Led by Anca, NUCA marked several awards in the field of animal protection in Cluj: eartags and registration of sterilized community dogs, the program I'm not a vagabond !, the first official program for accommodation and temporary care of community animals, the first collaboration with the Sanitary-Veterinary Directorate Cluj against cruelty and ill-treatment of animals, the first media partnerships with Cluj media institutions: TVR, Szabadság, Information, Monitorul de Cluj.
