Dear friends, TUFCAT supporters & cat lovers,

We are running a lucky draw to help raise some funds to pay our vet bills.

We have been very fortunate this year in that we received sponsorship for sterilisation from National Sterilisation Project and Alley Cat Rescue. This meant that we were able to continue sterilising ferals at UWC and other parts of CT as well as cats in and around Grabouw. Although sterilisation is of primary importance, we are also called on to assist cats in various other ways, including visits to the vet. Our treatment bills thus need urgent attention.

Prizes:
1st prize is a beautiful quilt (handmade by Cynthia Pace), a knitted rainbow blanket (made by Jadi) and a stuffed cat toy (made by Rosemary)
2nd prize is a quilt and a cat

R50 per entry
The draw will take place on 11 December or when all the tickets are sold.

Update
We had no offers of help so we brought her to TUFCAT Sanctuary..she has two huge open, pus filled deep gashes on her face...like she was cut with something. We are busy treating them while she decompresses....

Foster home needed
This extremely calm female dog was dumped on UWC campus this weekend. We will advertise her as a stray but urgently need a safe space for her to go.
She seems fine with other animals and walks on a lead.
Please make contact if you can help
Thanks

Campus cats getting some meaty treats from Patrick.

This kitty was dumped at the security entrance gate to UWC this morning. Patrick will care for her until I can collect tomorrow...

Some of the UWC campus cats allow Patrick and Sandra to touch them. These lucky felines get flea treatments regularly....

Tufcats checking out the cows.

In case anyone is wondering about the dog on the right in this video... Her name is Meisiehond. She arrived on campus during the December break. No one couldn't get near her. Patrick set up a kennel and has been feeding her. He can almost touch her. Patrick cares for the feral cat colonies living on UWC campus. He is the most dedicated and caring person. He has been doing this since 2016. We are so lucky to have him. He gets to campus early every day and even comes in on weekends. Here he is early this morning with Lammetjie...

This little guy's adoption was cancelled... He is 5 months old, neutered and ready for a home of his own. He gets on well with other cats. To adopt him. WA 0824330932.

Our Story

We are an animal welfare charity (NPO) that primarily feeds, traps and cares for feral cats living on our campus. We also find homes for unwanted strays and educate students and advise the general public about feral cats and animals in general.

TUFCAT also has a small ‘Home for Life’ sanctuary for unwanted and special needs cats and dogs, on a beautiful smallholding near Villiersdorp in the Western Cape. We do outreach work on farms and also have regular spay clinics in the dorp.

We are in the process of setting up a ‘Surviving Pet Programme’, so if you are concerned about what will happen to your pets of they outlive you, please contact us for a chat.
