🐾 Hazyview Trapping Weekend Update 🐾
This past weekend, our dedicated team gathered in Hazyview for an intensive trapping mission — and what a weekend it was!
A huge thank you goes out to:
🙏 Waidon & Ryan from Kruger Park Lodge – for hosting our team and allowing us to trap on the property to help control cat numbers and prevent further challenges.
🙏 Jamie from Maroela Animal Hospital – for spearheading the mission with her incredible “go-to” team of girls always ready to get down and dirty. A special shoutout to Cecilia (CC’s Vet), Tayla & Hailey (student vets), and of course our director Caitlin, who pushed through early mornings, late nights, and some very feisty kitties to reach our numbers.
🙏 Josie in Hazyview – for joining the team, showing us the local hot spots, and for your ongoing dedication to trapping in the area. Josie will continue to trap, and we’ll continue to assist with sterilisation funding.
🙏 Hillary, manager of both Hazyview malls – for arranging access and allowing us to trap around the malls after hours. This made a phenomenal difference!
The Results:
🐱 19 cats trapped in total.
✂ 10 cats unsterilised
✔ 8 cats already sterilised (fantastic news!)
💔 1 cat humanely euthanised
Although we didn’t quite reach the numbers we were hoping for, we were thrilled to see so many cats already sterilised — a clear sign that the work being done is making a difference.
There are still a few pregnant mommies we’ll be returning for (or Josie will continue working on), and we’ll keep everyone updated on further sterilisation efforts in Hazyview.
These Hazyview cats certainly proved to be trap-savvy with very particular tastes — but nothing can stop this determined team!
🐾 Thank you to everyone who supports and contributes to making these missions possible. Every effort counts!
