WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR MANDELA DAY?
Where our Journey began.
Snow is a beautiful and very unusual-looking Siamese cross tortoiseshell lady. She was spotted living in the Koedoespoort industrial area with her 7 babies. A kind-hearted lady called in a feral-trapping organization to help catch Snow to sterilize and return her to her wild life. When they arrived with the traps, Snow greeted their arrival with purring and leg-rubbing - she turned out to be completely tame and friendly, and so another approach was called for - Snow and her kids needed a human home. Their life-on-the-streets was not a choice but the result, clearly, of abandonment by the humans who Snow once loved. After many adventures and 5 patient days of kitten-coaxing, Snow and her babies were rescued and taken in by the dedicated feline foster parents at CatzRUs, but we can't stop thinking about all the other feral cats who live in Koedoespoort where Snow and her 7 kids were rescued. We have a lady who has agreed to feed them, but the colony will just keep growing without our intervention. These thoughts and concerns led one of our Foster Moms to action. We would like to introduce the Spay It Forward initiative: Is your heart broken (like ours) at the thought of so many stray and homeless cats? Here is the good news: we have a solution!
Spay It Forward!
Your small donation can make a BIG difference at the very heart of the problem. Every Rand will godirectly towards sterilizing feral and homeless cats. Every R250 raised will neuter a male cat. Every R350 will spay a female cat. Every R150 tests a cat for FIV and FELV. (Our kind-hearted vets are barely covering their costs at this price) Spay it Forward is an initiative of CatzRUs. Although our core business is to rescue, foster and re-home kittens and non-feral cats, we feel we need to help reduce feral colonies in this way. Donations will go through our bank account to the 'Spay It Forward' initiative (Reference Donations CRU-SIF) CatzRus is a NPO and our bank statements are public record. All funds received with the Reference CRU-SIF will be allocated to sterilize cats that are not part of our foster program.
