You Help Us Help Them
All cats deserve to feel safe and protected, whether they were born inside a home or outside in the wild. Our mission is to prevent the overpopulation of feral cats with humane methods, such as TNR (trap - neuter - return), and to protect their welfare. We also rescue cats and provide a safe haven for those that have landed on the streets with no home to return to - and to find them safe and loving new homes.
Trap
The first step in the TNR program is to trap the feral cats in a humane way and to house them in a safe environment until they can be examined by a vet. We do this by setting up special trap cages, which are continuously monitored by our volunteers.
Neuter
Fertile female cats can have up to 20 kittens per a year – that’s over 300 offspring in just three years! This rapid population growth has a very negative effect on the well being of feral cats, which is why it is important to spay and neuter them.
Return
Once the feral cats have been spayed or neutered and have recovered from their surgeries, illnesses and injuries, they are returned to their home territory where kind, cat-loving people will make sure they have access to food at all times.
Not all cats are returned
What started as just a TNR program for feral cats has developed into a comprehensive program for rescuing strays and homeless cats from all kinds of situations.
We not only rescue stray cats but also accept cats that are surrendered to us from homes that have no other options. Older feral cats have also shown that they are quite happy living indoors and quickly get used to the safety and warmth of a loving home.

Here are a few ways to help our cause
Donate
We accept donations into bank account 0515-26-710314, ID (kennitala) 710314-1790, but you can also donate via our webshop or buy our merchandise.
Volunteer
Villingar (our volunteers) do all sorts of odd jobs for our cats, ranging from shifts at our shelters, to making vet appointments, driving cats to foster homes and fundraising for our medical fund.
Foster
Foster homes accept our cats into their homes until they can go to their forever homes. Some cats need time to learn to trust humans again, while others are just waiting to be adopted.
