You Help Us Help Them
All cats deserve to feel safe and protected, both those who are born inside and outside. Our mission is to prevent overpopulation of feral cats, with humane methods such as TNR (trap - neuter - return), and guard their welfare. We also rescue cats and provide a safe haven for those that have ended up on the streets, without a home to return to - and find them safe and loving homes.
Trap
The first step to humanely capture feral cats is to trap them and house in a safe environment until they can be seen 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 in a year - or over 300 offspring in just three years! This rapid growth in population has very negative effect on the well being of feral cats, which is why it is important to spay and neuter cats.
Return
When the cats have been fixed and they have recovered, it is finally possible to return them to their home environment, where kind cat-loving people can make sure they have access to food at all times.
Not all cats are returned
What started as a TNR program for feral cats has developed into rescuing strays and homeless cats from all kinds of situations.
We both rescue stray cats and 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 being inside and have gotten used to the safety and warmth of a loving home.
Want to Help?
Here are a couple of ways to help our cause.
Donations
We accept donations into bank account 0515-26-710314, ID (kennitala) 710314-1790, but you can also donate via our webstore or buy our merch.
Apply to 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
Fosterhomes accept our cats into their homes until they are ready for their forever homes. Some cats need time to learn to trust, while others are just waiting to be adopted.
