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:

The last official week of trapping of 2025 didn’t disappoint.

Katie trapped a male from Vainona and a female with 2 kittens in Emerald Hill - the kittens will also be TNR’d when old enough in 2026. She also TNR’d a mum and 4 kittens from a company in Workington. From a property in the Avenues Katie TNR’d 2 females and 2 kittens and also trapped a young male from a house in Westgate. Katie also assisted in sterilising 2 kittens now old enough after we spayed their mum back in November.

Lorna returned to Borrowdale Brooke to TNR 2 teenage kittens now old enough after trapping and spaying their mum in October. She also trapped a female with 4 kittens from Glen Lorne - the kittens will be sterilised in February, and a male from Borrowdale.

Lorna also helped an owner in Lewisam sterilise his 3 cats - 2 males and a female with 6 kittens. CRZ will uplift the kittens to try and rehome them once they are weaned at the end of January as the owner cannot afford to keep them. We did not charge this owner for the sterilisations - with big thanks to you our donors we were able to do this for him and his cats.

The team also assisted an owner sterilise his 2 females. A total of 23 cats were sterilised this week through our TNR and support programmes. We are pretty positive we are not done for the year just yet!

Total sterilised to date : 3,186

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

This weeks’ TNR & Sterilisations :

14 more cats this week received our help and were spayed or castrated through our TNR or low cost support programmes

Lorna trapped and spayed a mum from Helensvale, she has 3 kittens which Lorna will TNR in the new year when they are old enough. She also trapped a male from an existing TNR’d managed colony in Greendale. He was a bit underweight so is being kept in hospital for a few days to build his strength after surgery.

Katie mainly focused on one big colony in Westgate - she trapped 4 adult females, an adult male and 5 kittens. She also trapped a male from Bluffhill.

The team also assisted an owner sterilise her female.

If you are feeding ferals this is a reminder to please ask us to come and TNR them asap! Their numbers can increase faster than you know or realise. We have a waiting list of jobs ready for the new year but we are not scared of adding to it. WhatsApp us 0779 993 157

Total sterilised to date : 3,163

Don’t wait, please do it today! Spaying and neutering cats before they’re five months of age is best for them and for you! The vets we use agree it’s not too young and it’s safe.

Let us help you and your furbaby for a low cost, WhatsApp us on 0779 993 157. Thank you!

We are urgently looking for a working home (farm, office, stable or workshop) for this TNR’d male. He was TNR’d to a property but unfortunately is still causing arguments with the resident cats. The working home must be suitable for him, he must be kept in a secure room for 7 days with food, water, litter and once released continue to be fed. We also do need to retrap him once a suitable home is found. Please WhatsApp us on 0779 993 157 if you can help. Please share if you can Thank you!

09/12/2025

Lorna and Katie will not be doing any routine trapping between the 22nd December and the 4th January so they can try to rest and recoup from another crazy year. They will attend to emergencies only - pregnant, sick or injured feral cats and kittens where the cats cannot be taken to a vet by a member of the public themselves and need to be trapped or handled professionally. If you have any TNR or adoption enquiries or need any advice please feel free to still WhatsApp us during that time 0779 993 157 thank you for your support 😻😸

A reminder that our 2026 Calendar is available to purchase!! You can get your paws on them at the following locations for just $10 each! The purrfect gift for cat loving friends!

This year the cover is of a very special cat. She represents the partnership between CRZ and . In 2024 we joined VAWZ for the very first time on their sterilisation campaign to Kariba when this female was spayed. This year we returned to check on her when her owner then surrendered her to us. We brought her into Harare and have since rehomed her to a wonderful family. She signifies everything CRZ and VAWZ are trying to achieve together.

Our calendars are the biggest fundraiser every year and helps us continue our work helping community cats and those owned by low income families. We also love sharing photos of our beautiful rescue kittens with you. Thank you for your support as always! 😻
