ABOUT US

CRZ is a 100% voluntary organisation made up of a small group of cat lovers dedicated to improving the welfare of cats in Zimbabwe. This is achieved through the TNR Program (trap, neuter, return), FKP (foster kitten program) and the FFF (ferals for farmers) program. OUR VISION
To have fewer cats and kittens on the streets. To educate communities about the benefits of having cats and their place in the ecosystem, along with basic cat care. To educate businesses about basic cat care for feral cats on their premises. To run sterilisation programs in impoverished communities to improve the health and wellbeing of cats

TRAP NEUTER RETURN (“TNR”) WORK

We are dedicated to the management of the cat overpopulation crisis in Zimbabwe through an effective and humane TNR program. This is achieved by sterilising, vaccinating and ear tipping (for identification purposes) feral cats. TNR benefits everyone because it:
• humanly reduces the feral cat population on the streets
• drastically improves cats’ quality of life as it eliminates reproductive stress
caused by continual mating and pregnancies.
• reduces territorial stress and improves the cats’ health and by reducing their
chances of developing cancers and contracting cat diseases
• reduces noise from fighting and mating activities.
• reduces smells from the territorial spraying of urine.
• prevents the spread of rabies. The cats are returned to where they were caught originally and continue to live a peaceful life whilst keeping the rodent population down.

This weeks’ TNR & Sterilisations:

Monday started with both Lorna & Katie trapping 4 cats at a property in Arcadia - 2 males and 2 females. Katie also collected a male and female from an owner in Prospect.

Mid week Katie trapped 1 male from a property in Monavale and another male from a house in Marlborough. Both were neutered and returned. Lorna also trapped a young male from Emerald Hill and with huge help from a supporter of ours we also trapped a pregnant female from Strathaven. She was successfully spayed and returned home. Spay aborts are not always nice for the vets to perform or for us to deal with however the alternative is more kittens suffering on the streets, the majority not even making it to 6 months of age.

Later in the week Katie collected another female from an owner in Milton Park and she also trapped a female and 2 males from a property in Ridgeview. All neutered and returned.

The total sterilised this week was 14 bringing our total cats sterilised to date to 4,081

Kitten demands must be fulfilled 🥰❤️

Please follow this advice if you have a new cat come onto your property and it stays there. You should not be holding onto friendly cats without informing your neighbours or SPCA or posting on Zim pets lost and found Facebook group. Please take it to a vet to check for a microchip! That cat could belong to someone who is missing them dearly! Thank you

Last weeks’ TNR & Sterilisations:

A quieter week last week as we mainly focused on our sterilisation support service. Lorna collected a female cat from Hillside and a female from Avondale for spaying. Both cats have a litter of kittens whilst the clients will find loving homes for - we have offered assistance in neutering them when they are older. Lorna also collected a male from Ridgeview for neutering and we also assisted another owner neuter her male.

Katie TNR’d a female from a house Ridgeview as well as another male from another property in Ridgeview.

A quieter week doesn’t mean an unsuccessful one - every cat we sterilise - male or female - makes an impact!

Total sterilised to date : 4,067

Every month should be Spay and Neuter Awareness Month!

Sterilising your pet saves lives by reducing pet overpopulation and preventing unwanted litters. It is a simple procedure that also provides health and behavioural benefits for your furry friend!

There are affordable options out there, all you have to do is ask! Cat Rescue Zim and the SPCA will help and assist you do the best for your fur baby. Please don’t allow them to have litter after litter which you cannot sustain, sterilising them is much more affordable than feeding many more mouths!

Reach out for help - WhatsApp us on 0779 993 157.

This weeks’ TNR & Sterilisations:

To say this week was busy is an understatement. Katie & Lorna were joined by a new volunteer we hope will continue to work with us… if this week didn’t spook them too much 🫣. Last week we got a message from a lovely gentleman who had a big colony in his garden in Braeside. This all started from him feeding 5 cats, he now believes he has 30+. We were intrigued to find out. The team started trapping on Monday - the first day we trapped 9, overnight & Tuesday morning we trapped another 11, and on the last day we trapped 8. The client believed we trapped all the resident females and there are only 2 males left that were now thoroughly spooked off. In total we TNR’d 28 cats from his house - 14 males, 14 females (5 pregnant, 2 on heat, 1 who just gave birth). We also decided to uplift two 6 week old kittens from the property to put into our foster system - he definitely has too many.

This client is on a tight budget financially, he loves the cats and is continuing to feed them - we refused to take any money from him towards the cost of sterilising these cats - we would prefer for him to put that money towards continuing to feed them (we also gave him a bag of food to help). We want to thank Harare Central Vet Surgery for sterilising all these cats over 3 days - the team worked so hard and we are so grateful to them.

But they weren’t the only cats we TNR’d this week - the sick female from last week was finally healthy enough to spay & we returned her home. We also TNR’d 4 females and 1 male from Rolf Valley and Lorna TNR’d a male from Chisipite. Katie TNR’d a mum & 3 kittens from Groombridge, a male and female from Marlborough and 2 males from Eastlea.

CRZ also assisted 2 owners sterilise their 2 females bringing the total this week to 45 cats!!

Total sterilised to date : 4,061

A few weeks ago Katie had quite a big mishap with her vehicle … her sump was badly damaged which has resulted in quite a large mechanical bill and she is short $750. Katie uses her personal vehicle to volunteer for us and do other animal rescue work. We are reaching out to you our amazing supporters to see if anyone would be happy to donate something towards the bill so she can get back on the road. Please contact us on 0779993157 thank you so much
