WE NO LONGER DO TNR WORK, AND WE NO LONGER HAVE A FOSTERING PROGRAMME.

PLEASE SUPPORT ONE OF GRAHAMSTOWN'S MANY OTHER ORGANISATIONS WHO ARE ENGAGED IN THIS VITAL WORK: MAKANA VET CLINIC, SPCA OR MAKHANDA'S BUTTERFLY EFFECT. Trapping, sterilizing and releasing feral cats back into their environment is a globally recognised humane alternative to simply killing them. After all, these cats have carved out a niche for themselves in a harsh world and have earned the right

to life as much as any one of us. In addition, they perform a useful task in controlling the large rodent population drawn to the city by restaurant garbage and student rubbish bins. With Man's destruction of so many natural predators and their environment, rodents can become a problem. The cats perform the task of rodent control efficiently and without the negative impact on the environment which poisons have. If left unsterilized, the cat population can itself become a problem and disease may spread among them through mating and fighting, spreading also to free-ranging domestic cats. Left to breed unchecked, they also begin to have a negative impact on wild birds and small wildlife in gardens and even in the CBD, and indeed their own lives become extremely difficult.

Ready for a genetics lesson?

🧡🖤 Tortoiseshell and calico cats are almost always female because color genes are carried on the X chromosome. So a female cat can have two different color genes, while a male cat can only have one! Only if a male cat has an extra X chromosome could he be a calico cat or a tortoiseshell cat.

🧡 Most orange tabbies are male because they only need one copy of the gene to be orange; while female cats need two copies of the gene to be orange.

UPDATE: Adopted!

Looking for a home for two sibling kittens! Ideally to be homed together. They were found in a bush, but they are very loving and they love attention ❤️❤️

Please note that these kittens are not GFCP adoptions, we are just networking as widely as possible for these two cuties.

Please send a message to the GFCP FB page if you or someone you know is interested.

🐈🐈🐈VOLUNTEER NEEDED for a small cat feeding project in central Sunnyside part of town 🙏

The person should preferably be a resident in the area, and is required to feed 2 or 3 adult semi-feral cats. Please, it needs to be someone who is extremely reliable and a devoted cat lover. Sadly, circumstances have changed for these cats, leaving them without a longterm carer. This is a once-daily feed and if you need to be out of town a relief feeder can be arranged.

Food will be supplied.

Please send us a message and you'll be contacted.

Thank you 💕🐈🐈‍⬛💕

💍👑📯🧤👛TRINKETS & TREASURES APPEAL! 💕🐈‍⬛💕🐈💕✨️

Since starting our little tray of Trinkets & Treasures at The Feral Cat Bookshop a couple of months ago, we have raised R600 from it, which has been paid into our vet accounts for care of the town's community cats, so for the small space it takes in our little shop, it is paying its way! ✨️🙏 We are grateful to those who have contributed lovely goodies to our tray and to those who have purchased the little treasures. We'd really appreciate it if you have anything to donate to the tray to drop off at the shop in African Street on a Saturday morning. Every cent of funds raised goes directly to the care (food and vet bills) of less fortunate cats.
Thank you! 💕🐈
