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.

July’s round up!

Another incredible month for our small team of 2! A total of 66 feral cats were TNR’d - including the 11 that were sterilised and returned during the Profeeds sponsored campaign in Kariba.

As per usual cats were TNR’d from all over Harare - Msasa, Milton Park, Northwood, Vainona, Monavale, Hillside, Chisipite, Newlands, Cranborne, Waterfalls, Lincoln Green, Avenues and Borrowdale. Our biggest colony in July was a colony of 15 in Borrowdale.

In July our vets sterilised 8 pregnant females - pregnant spays are not always pleasant depending on how far along the female is … but you must agree with us, looking at the astonishing numbers we sterilise every month, that it is absolutely necessary. We cannot adopt our way out of this cat overpopulation crisis, we must do better. It is our responsibility. Please spay/neuter your cats or any cats you are choosing to feed! If you need help to do so please WhatsApp us on 0779 993 157 we are always happy to help!

Thank you

Total sterilised end of July : 2,869

One unspayed female can lead to hundreds of unwanted kittens… spaying not only protects your cat from going through endless heat cycles and pregnancies but also from infectious diseases, cancers and fatal infections.

Please consider getting your female spayed - this can be done from 4 months of age - if you need help whatsapp us on 0779 993 157 we offer low cost options

This weeks’ TNR & Sterilisations:

An unexpectedly busy week this week with a surprise trapping job coming up on Tuesday! The client first contacted us regarding a pregnant friendly female she was concerned about, however we have been aware of this colony for a while but have never been given permission to be able to trap there, but now things have changed and finally we had permission to sort these cats out and Katie jumped at the chance! We knew it would be a big one so used all of our traps on this one to try and get everyone as quickly as possible.

Katie trapped there for 3 nights and managed to trap 14 more cats! The friendly female was successfully spayed along with the other members of the colony consisting of 5 females (1 pregnant) and 9 males.

We also assisted a client in Monavale spay a friendly female that had adopted him and a male from an existing colony in the Avenues was also trapped

The colony of 15 will cost us close to $500 covering their sterilisations, rabies vaccines and overnight stays at the vet. If you’d like to donate towards our bill for this colony please WhatsApp Lorna on 0779 993 157 to see how you can help Thank you 🙏😻

Total sterilised to date : 2,869

TNR and spay/neuter are the only humane solution to combating the overpopulation crisis we are in.

We can NOT adopt our way out. There are far more cats than available homes. TNR helps prevent future generations of suffering on the streets.

Cat Rescue Zim is not a shelter to surrender kittens/cats to. We are first and foremost a sterilisation program focusing on TNR (Trap Neuter Return) to address the cat overpopulation crisis in Zimbabwe. We are a very small team and do the best we can but we do not have facilities to shelter cats.

The kittens in our foster system are mostly from the trapping jobs we attend to. We only uplift if absolutely necessary (health, welfare or safety reasons).

A mother cat would usually choose an ideal, safe space to raise her kittens. This means there is no need to intervene until the kittens are old enough to qualify for a TNR program.

We do not remove community cats from their home, unless they are in immediate danger, as there is nowhere for them to go so they will be euthanised. Doing this will also create a vacuum and more unsterilised cats will just move into the territory.

We always advocate for TNR.

This weeks’ TNR & Sterilisations

This week Katie was an absolute star and trapped cats at 3 different properties. She trapped a mum and her 4 kittens (2 males and 2 females) at a property in Cranborne. Mum was in the early stages of pregnancy with yet another litter but was successfully spayed.

Katie also trapped a female in Waterfalls along with a roaming Tom. The male has no tail whatsoever which we have never seen before, a possible genetic mutation! It didn’t seem to hinder him at all

She also TNR’d a kitten in Lincoln Green as well as another pregnant female! Katie also took a female that she trapped before the teams’ trip to Kariba for spaying. She is from a colony in Northwood that we are trying to slowly relocate as the client is an elderly lady who cannot cope with a large colony. So far we have managed to rehome 7 cats from the colony.

We also assisted a family from Belvedere neuter their male. Bringing the total to 11 cats sterilised this week under our TNR and support programmes.

Total sterilised to date : 2,852

Kitten season is just around the corner. A female cat can get pregnant at 4 months of age & have up to 4 litters a year with an average of 4 kittens per litter. 1 can turn into over 300 in 2 years! Do you think there are enough good responsible homes in Zimbabwe for all these cats?? Because we don’t.

Please neuter your cats, and if you are feeding ferals … TNR (TRAP, NEUTER, RETURN) will prevent a population explosion in your area.
