🐾❄️ WINTER AT THE CAT HOUSE ❄️🐾
Many people think that the biggest challenge at a cat shelter is food.
Food is certainly important, but winter brings a whole new set of challenges that most people never see.
As temperatures drop, we begin seeing more respiratory infections, more runny noses, more dental problems, and more vulnerable cats needing extra care. A simple sniffle can quickly become a serious infection if it isn’t treated in time.
Winter means:
🐾 More veterinary visits
🐾 More medication and antibiotics
🐾 More fuel costs travelling to town for supplies and veterinary care
🐾 More litter usage as cats spend more time sheltered
🐾 More bedding to keep everyone warm and dry
🐾 More support for elderly, injured, and medically fragile cats
What many people don’t realize is that rescue work is a constant balancing act between food, medication, utilities, litter, fuel, and emergency veterinary expenses.
At the moment, our available funds are extremely limited. We currently have only R447 available in our NPC account. That small amount must remain available for emergencies, whether it is an urgent vet visit or fuel for the 80km round trip to town.
Every rand donated is carefully stretched to cover the needs of the cats in our care.
When you donate to The Cat House, you are helping provide essential medical care, transport to veterinary treatment, warmth and comfort during the cold months, and emergency support when a cat has nowhere else to turn.
To every person who has supported us, shared our posts, donated food, sent funds, or simply cared enough to follow our journey—thank you.
Your kindness keeps this shelter going.
Your compassion changes lives.
And on behalf of every cat who is warm, fed, safe, and loved because of your support…
Thank you. ❤️🐾
