Friends of the Cat requires sponsorship of cat food

Friends of the Cat is a pro-life organisation that was founded in 1991 by Adele Joffe in Johannesburg to help alleviate the plight of homeless, abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens.

Run entirely by volunteers, our organisation aims to educate people about the value cats have in our society, as well as the responsibility we as humans have towards these magical and intriguing beings that share our world.

Friends of the Cat also aims to reduce the problem of feral cats in urban areas through capture and sterilisation programmes. Feral cats are domesticated cats that have returned to the wild and have to fend for themselves as best they can.
With our pro-life policy, Friends of the Cat will care for healthy cats for the rest of their lives, should they not find a suitable new home. Euthanasia is only considered as a last resort, when the animal is shown to be suffering and there is little or no hope of recovery.
As a result, we have hundreds of cats in our care that could be homed to caring owners.
As a charity organisation, we are constantly faced with a lack of financial resources, which severely curtails our plans for the ongoing care of the cats at our shelters. The organisation is mainly run by volunteers, who give of their time, love and energy free of charge. However, our food bill each month is huge, as are the veterinary costs, cleaning materials and other running costs associated with caring for cats and for this we need sponsorship for cat food or financial donations from cat lovers out there
A cat has nine lives. We give it ten.
