🐾 Hello Everymeow! 🐾

We truly appreciate the love and care you have for our community cats. 💕 However, we kindly ask that you do not feed them leftover food.

While we know your intentions come from the heart, feeding them leftovers can be harmful to their health. As volunteers, we dedicate our time, effort, and resources to ensure they stay healthy and well-fed with proper nutrition.

✨ Why It’s Important to Follow Feeding Guidelines:
✅ We have scheduled feedings to make sure they eat the right food at the right time.
✅ Leaving leftovers in the feeding or trash areas can encourage scavenging and create messes.
✅ Proper feeding helps keep our community cats safe and strong.

If you’d love to help, you can donate in cash or kind! Here are the cat food brands we feed them:
🐱 Smart Heart (Dry Food)
🐱 Aozi (Dry Food)
🐱 Whiskas (Wet Food)
🐱 Ciao (Wet Food)

We’re also raising funds for their vaccinations! Any amount will go a long way in keeping them safe and healthy. You can support our fundraising efforts here: https://www.facebook.com/catsofillumina/posts/pfbid02UanqXs5bW3yeJC2fd9NHnqKSijanT7yVHsCZTLC2epM8VETRY271uw5xSS8xXbEvl

Thank you, everymeow, for your kindness and cooperation! 🐾💖

🐾 Update on Recent Events 🐾

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone for their unwavering support during this challenging time.🙏🏻

Having gathered more detailed information from the individuals involved, we wish to clarify the following points regarding yesterday's events:

1. Lack of Prior Notice to PMO and Cats of Kai: Neither the Property Management Office (PMO) nor the Cats of Kai volunteer group were informed or consulted about the plans to round up the cats. We became aware of the situation only upon the arrival of Biyaya and the City Vet at Kai Garden Residences. Information indicates that the opposing group had exclusively communicated with the local government unit (LGU).

2. An Understanding with Biyaya Established: Through direct discussions with Ms. Rina, we have clarified that Biyaya Animal Care initially believed they were helping by providing medical services and sanctuary for unfixed cats. They have committed to spaying, neutering, and vaccinating the five cats that were recently collected. We have also reached an agreement that the Cats of Kai and Biyaya will collaborate to secure forever homes for the five cats that were collected once they have fully recovered. We are thankful for this positive development.

To note, CARA Welfare Philippines is fully informed of the recent events to ensure that they also have visibility on the future of the five collected cats.

3. Opposing Camp’s Actions: Despite the recent dialogue and an expectation to await a decision from the Board of Trustees, the group advocating for the removal of all community cats proceeded to issue a demand letter to the Mayor’s office, pushing for the immediate removal of all cats. This action has caused confusion and escalated tensions among all parties involved.

We hope this incident will lead to better coordination and understanding among all concerned parties to prevent similar issues in the future. Clear communication and cooperation are crucial. Advocating for TNVR remains a humane and effective approach to managing community cat populations, while a zero-cat policy can lead to unintended negative outcomes.

‼️UPDATES‼️

We have critical updates regarding the incident earlier today. Our team has spoken directly with Ms. Rina Ortiz, CEO of Biyaya Animal Care, who clarified that Biyaya’s sole intention was to collect unspayed or unneutered cats to ensure they could either be placed for adoption or brought into their sanctuary. Unfortunately, during the actual incident, the opposing group insisted on the complete removal of ALL cats—an action neither agreed upon nor authorized by Biyaya.

As a result, five unspayed basement cats were removed, reportedly under a directive the opposing group claims to have obtained from the Mandaluyong Mayor’s Office.

Thankfully, two kittens were spared thanks to the swift intervention of a compassionate volunteer, who has stepped forward to foster them. Our volunteers, along with other concerned individuals, also managed to prevent the culling of all the remaining cats, ensuring that this ill-advised plan did not move forward.

To provide clarity on this matter, Ms. Rina Ortiz will go live this evening at 8:30PM to explain Biyaya’s official position. We will keep you updated as the situation develops.

Now, more than ever, we need your support. These cats depend on us to advocate for their welfare and to ensure that any decisions made are humane, ethical, and rooted in compassion. Thank you for standing with us in this fight for their safety and dignity.

In the past few days, Cats of Kai has been the target of misinformation, accusations, and unkind words. It is heartbreaking to face such treatment when all we strive for is the care and well-being of our community cats.

Nevertheless, we will not let this deter us from our mission. Our focus remains unwavering on what truly matters—the well-being of our cats while remaining committed to fostering a harmonious coexistence where both residents and animals can thrive in a community built on understanding and compassion.

In the midst of adversity, Cats of Kai remains unwavering in our commitment to standing up for our community cats. Though the road may be tough, our dedication to providing these precious felines with the care and protection they deserve never falters. We believe every cat deserves a safe, nurturing environment, and we will tirelessly advocate for their well-being while maintaining peaceful coexistence in the community. Together, we rise above adversity, armed with compassion and determination.

Once again, we would like to invite our fellow residents in KGR this coming January 18 to attend the Dialogue on Community Cat Management. Let’s stand together to champion compassion, raise our voices for the voiceless, and fight for what is right. Compassion compels us to care deeply for all beings, and it is our duty to extend this care to our community cats.

Let us be change-makers, united by kindness and justice, working together to create a community where compassion prevails. Together, we can make a difference—one act of kindness at a time.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us! 💪🐱

We’ve recently become aware that a few individuals, have been trying to catch our community cats. These people are not part of the volunteer group, and this has raised some concerns.

On several occasions, these individuals have tried to call the Manila Pound to take the cats. Thankfully, with the support of our PMO, the pound officials were not allowed onto the premises, as they lacked the proper documents. Unfortunately, these individuals seem to have taken things a step further by attempting to catch the cats themselves, believing they can surrender them to the pound. As we all know, sending cats to the pound sadly means they may not get the second chance they deserve, as they are typically euthanized after some time.

We kindly ask everyone to stay vigilant. If you see anyone trying to harm or catch our beloved community cats, please take photos or videos to document the situation. We, as volunteers, are doing everything we can to manage the cat population humanely.

We also want to clarify any misunderstandings about the Feeding Area. The funds to create and maintain this area have been raised through donations from kind-hearted individuals who care deeply about animals. With these donations, and with the support of our PMO, we were able to build the feeding area as a joint effort between volunteers, the PMO, and everyone who believes in compassionate, humane solutions.

Once again, we ask for your help and support in protecting our community cats. Together, we can ensure their safety and continue to be a community that cares.
