TEARS Animal Rescue is likely one of the main organisations within the sterilisation and administration of Feral Cats within the Western Cape, and our Feral Cat Venture goals to cut back feral cat populations and improve the lives of feral cat colonies via a Lure-Neuter-Return (TNR) programme. TNR represents an efficient answer for feral cats by stabilising colonies, enhancing the cats’ wellbeing and saving lives via veterinary care and sterilisations. Schooling can be essential to enlighten affected folks about the advantages of feral colonies in society, and the necessity for cats to stay of their colonies, and never be exterminated, however slightly sterilised and monitored.
The Marchig Animal Welfare Belief in Scotland has been supporting TEARS since 2001, offering Grants for our tasks, and in 2007 granted funding for the institution of our Feral Cat Sterilisation Clinic on Wenga Farm, which can be dwelling to our rescued cats. At our two registered clinics, we sterilise roughly 250 feral cats a month, and, with the assistance of volunteers, monitor and feed numerous feral cats of their colonies.
An extra beneficiant Grant from The Marchig Belief acquired lately for our Feral Cat Venture, will allow us to maintain our very important programme, serving to to alleviate the struggling of cats, via sterilisation and monitoring of the ever-increasing variety of feral colonies and neighborhood cats (free roaming cats in susceptible communities). Essentially the most welcome present will allow us to:
🐾 Sterilise 1 920 cats, in addition to offering parasite management and rabies vaccinations
🐾 Randomly take a look at compromised cats for feline aids and leukaemia
🐾 Hold our Feral Cat Venture car on the street, via funding for our gasoline prices
We’re most pleased with our affiliation with The Marchig Animal Welfare Belief, (www.marchigtrust.org) and very grateful for this additional Grant, which can make a significant distinction to the lives of so many feral cats within the Western Cape.
