Here’s why we do this 🍊
This week, we added to our vet bill by trapping a beautiful ginger cat named Tigger who needed urgent surgery to remove his eye and save his life. Tigger and his ginger cousins are not members of our Mitchell Park colony.
Why would we help another colony of cats when keeping our park kitties fed already feels like a full-time job? Why would we, in fact, start feeding TWO new colonies in Morningside and plan to sterilise them all?
🍊 Feral cats’ needs can’t be isolated and contained. When cats are suffering nearby, other colonies are inevitably affected by illness, injury from unsterilised and aggressive male cats, unwanted kittens, or anger from neighbours who just see an unmanaged problem rather than individual creatures in need.
🍊 Because the need is right here, in our neighbourhood. Who could ignore these little faces?
🍊 Because we know we can, with your support. We’ve sterilised and cared for 30 cats over the past two years – why NOT more?
If you believe in being part of the solution, please join us to help Tigger and his friends. Donate, volunteer, support the fundraising initiatives you see on this page and our website, or just share this post and tell your friends that our community cares for cats.
