CHANGE A PET’S LIFE DAY – 24 JANUARY

Today is a chance to celebrate our animal companions, they bring us such joy and change our lives for the better, and we can do the same in return!

We have many cats at the shelter, and here are some ways to help change a cat’s life:

ADOPT – There are many wonderful and adorable kittens and cats at our shelter just waiting for their forever home!

This day might have been created to encourage adoption, and you might not be able to adopt a pet right now, but there are plenty of other ways you can help change a pet’s life.

VIRTUAL ADOPTION - You can virtually adopt one of our cats at shelter, knowing that your monthly payments of R450 cover everything that they need for the month.

FOSTER – By providing a temporary home for a cat or kittens, you are helping not only those you foster, but also the other shelter cats by freeing up resources and space. Fostering is especially important for kittens, as they require more time and love while they are young and vulnerable.

VOLUNTEER – We are always happy for volunteers to visit our cats and kittens for attention and socialization!

SPONSOR – If you can’t adopt, there always an option to sponsor one of the cats at shelter for R200 a month. This money helps cover our food bills.

DONATE – Looking after over 130 cats, monetary donations towards our vet bill are always appreciated. We also accept cat food, cleaning supplies and other general shelter items.

RAISE AWARENESS – Be an advocate for TNR in your community and educate others about the plight of feral cats. Share our posts across social media, and help us find loving forever homes for our cats and kittens.

SPAY AND NEUTER - Make sure your pets are spayed and neutered to prevent further overpopulation in shelters. Plus there are many health benefits too.

ANSWER YOUR CAT’S QUESTIONS DAY – 22 JANUARY

Cats are naturally curious, but what do you think your cat would ask you if you could understand each other? This thought is pretty much the basis of this quirky and unofficial holiday.

• Why are you petting me?
• Why did you stop petting me?
• Why is my food bowl empty?
• Are you expecting me to eat that?
• Why can’t I have some of your food?
• Why am I not allowed on the kitchen counter?
• Why do you yell when I scratch the sofa?

Today is about putting yourself in their shoes, or rather, their kitty paws, to try and understand them a bit better. So take some time out with your cat on this purrfect day and think about what they might be asking you.

Also…. What would you ask your cat if they could understand you?

WHY ADOPT FROM US?

Looking to welcome a new furry friend into your home? At Friends of Ferals, we’re dedicated to finding loving homes for our feline friends.

All our teenager and adult cats are tested for FIV and FeLV (Feline Aids and Leukemia). Kittens are tested at 5 to 6 months, simultaneously with their sterilization. If the mommy tested negative for the above, we normally dont test kittens.

Our Adoption Department works hard to ensure that adopted kitties (after strict adoption procedures have been followed) are sterilised and vaccinated after adoption (if not done already, in the case of adult cats). Apart from advising you on your cat or kitten’s settling in period or any behavioural problem which might arise, we are on standby to assist you with advice and, in the unlikely event of a kittie having a medical problem, to refer you to one of our rescue vets and assist you in the process.

We are always available, no matter how long ago you adopted from us, to give general advice on lifestyle changes such as moving house with as little stress to kitty as possible, or how to introduce a new pet into your household.

Our fur-babies are forever in our hearts, no matter how long ago they left shelter and if we can help, we are always willing to.

Some of them, we have bottle fed, some of them came to us broken (body and soul), feral and scared to death of humans. Some came to us tame. We always ensure that a stray kitty is scanned for a chip and make sure that there is not a family somewhere looking for their lost kitty.

Our team at Friends of Ferals dedicate our lives to ensure that every adopted kitten/cat has the best chance of a safe, healthy furever life. And that YOU, the adopter find YOUR furever friend and are comforted that we are right behind you.

UPDATE: CHARLOTTE / CHARLEY, NOW OREO

Remember our posts in August about Charlotte / Charley? The 9 month old kitten, who lived a number of weeks in the outdoors, with a rubber band from a vent or air conditioner around his neck and under one arm pit which restricted his head movements.

First named Charlotte, until we found out he was in fact a boy, quickly changed to Charley. We learnt from our vet that he’s a Ragamese, a cross between Ragdoll and Siamese, and being highly sensitive, he was proving a challenging task to tame and socialise.

Elzet met our hissing darling, and immediately lost her heart to the sweet boy. It is always a worry for us to allow an adoption when a cat or kitten is not completely tame and socialised. But after 3 weeks we were just not making enough process with Charley. One day he'd allow us to stroke his head and the next he'd want to rip our fingers off.

Elzet and her family committed to round-the-clock interaction, socialisation and love to tame Charley and win his trust.

He is now completely tame, a very chatty boy who is part of the family, even befriending his kitty siblings. He also allows his human Dad to rub his belly and cradle him in his arms like a baby.

He was renamed Oreo, and is living his best life ever! Thank you so much Elzet and family for your dedication, patience and love in winning the love and trust of Oreo.

Proving once again; Together we can achieve so much more.

GERALD AND ASSAM

Gerald and Assam are still looking for their forever homes! The last of their litters, as their siblings have all been adopted, and now they are looking for a chance of love and happiness.

Gerald is very curious and adventurous, although shy around new people, he loves a good playtime session. He prefers play over cuddles, but will happily curl up on your lap when he’s had enough of playing.

Assam is an active little boy, and misses playtime with his siblings. He loves to explore new things, including new people, and would suit a household with other cats.

If you are interested in these sweet boys, please email [email protected] to start the adoption process or ask any questions you may have about our kittens.

An approved application and home check are a part of the adoption process. For cats under 1 year old, an adoption fee of R1250 applies, and for adult cats the adoption fee is R950. This fee covers their vet care expenses, including initial and booster vaccinations, rabies shots, deflea and deworming treatments, FIV and FeLV tests, microchip, and sterilization.

FeLV THE KILLER VIRUS   
 
A healthy colony of 14 feral cats that we sterilised, tested and fed daily for over 6 years, have been infected with feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) from stray cats introduced to the adjoining property. 

The public have no idea the carnage of suffering and agonising deaths that the virus FeLV causes. The disease spreads through the simple act of sharing a bowl of kibble as it is spread through saliva.

It is imperative that the public not only sterilise their cats but also test them at the time of sterilisation to determine if they are infected with the dreaded killer virus FeLV. If your cat does test positive for FeLV it should be restricted to living indoors so as not to infect your neighbours cats with the virus. As a society we can and have to do better. 

I am heartbroken as I write this and the prospect of having to say goodbye to the rest of our feral colony is devastating to me. The visiting cats from the adjoining property will also be trapped and tested, and if positive for FeLV will be euthanised. We cannot allow an infected cat to spread the virus through the whole community.

Be considerate, be kind and save lives by testing your cat for FeLV.

ADOPT NINA AND NIMO

Nina and Nimo came to us last year when a woman dumped them at the vet after we offered to cover the sterilisation of the feral 14 week old kittens.

We had originally declined taking in the feral kittens because they were already 14+ weeks old, which is generally too old to tame in a shelter environment, due to the need for constant daily interaction. Unfortunately, we don’t have the manpower to provide that.

Then, with no option but to carry on, it took our shelter team several months to rehabilitate and socialise the abandoned kittens into the sweet cats they are today.

Nina is the more confident of the siblings, first to come out and greet visitors and for some love and play, while Nimo is shy and assesses the situation first…. But he also can’t resist a wand toy!

This beautiful bonded tabby pair, with their amazing green eyes, would love a chance at a home to get the love and attention they so deserve.

For more information, or to start the adoption process, please email us at [email protected]

An approved application and home check are a part of the adoption process. For cats over a year old the adoption fee is R950.

HAPPY CATURDAY WITH VERONA

Meet Verona, a sweet and playful tabby, just one of the many cuties at our shelter. Whether it’s a wand toy or some leaves, she loves a chance to play!

Her and her sister are fondly referred to as “the squeaky sisters”, as they make little squeak meows when you pet them. They have spent most of their lives at shelter, but would still love a chance at a forever home.

If you’re considering adopting an adult cat, why not pop round to the shelter and meet some of our wonderful rescues?

And if you can’t adopt, but have some free time, why not visit our rescues and give them the gift of your love and attention, and some playtime of course.

We’re open to the public 9:30 - 3:30 Tuesdays to Saturdays.

SELDOVIA AND JUNEAU

These adorable 1-year-old siblings are still searching for their forever homes! They’ve been lovingly fostered for a whole year, and we’d hate for them to ever go back to a shelter after experiencing a warm, loving home.

✨ Seldovia: This sweet girl is quite the character! She darts over every time she hears the treat packet crinkle and she’s a lovable cuddlebug who enjoys affection and companionship.

✨ Juneau: Though initially shy, Juneau has made great progress and loves to explore and climb. He’s now much more relaxed and loves to show his playful, curious side more often.

These sweethearts are well socialized, calm, and would be perfect additions to any home, either together or individually. They deserve a life filled with love, treats, and cuddles—could that be with you?

If you’re ready to give Seldovia or Juneau (or both!) a loving forever home, please reach out! Email us at [email protected]

An approved application and home check are a part of the adoption process. For cats over a year old the adoption fee is R950.

HAPPY CATURDAY WITH VERONA Meet Verona, a sweet and playful tabby, just one of the many cuties at our shelter. Whether it’s a wand toy or some leaves, she loves a chance to play! Her and her sister are fondly referred to as “the squeaky sisters”, as they make little squeak meows when you pet them. They have spent most of their lives at shelter, but would still love a chance at a forever home. If you’re considering adopting an adult cat, why not pop round to the shelter and meet some of our wonderful rescues? And if you can’t adopt, but have some free time, why not visit our rescues and give them the gift of your love and attention, and some playtime of course. We’re open to the public 9:30 - 3:30 Tuesdays to Saturdays.

Our Mission

Main Objectives – S.A.F.E.R Initiative

(1) Sterilization: We advocate the sterilization of all pets. All cats we shelter, help, nurse, rehabilitate and re-home will be sterilized. Adopted kittens under the age of 5 months old, will be sterilized by their parent/parents making a booking with one of our vet’s, when the kitten is of age. Trap Neuter and Release programmes are available when subsided by Corporates, Businesses or the General Public.

(2) Awareness: To create awareness of the plight of ferals through visibility and interaction with the p***c at markets, shopping malls, animal related events or functions and to network with other Cat Rescue Organizations, Corporates and residential Body Corporates and Animal Rescue Organizations.
