A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US
At Friends of Ferals, we are a pro-life, non-profit organization dedicated to addressing the plight of feral cats in and around Centurion. With the feral cat population at an all-time high, it’s more important than ever to take action. Did you know that one unsterilized female cat and her offspring can produce up to 60,000 cats in just five years? Many of these cats live short, painful lives, facing starvation, disease, and cruelty.
Our mission is driven by the S.A.F.E.R. Initiative:
🌟 Sterilization: Trapping and sterilizing feral cats to control their population and improve their health.
🌟 Awareness: Educating the public about the feral cat crisis through events and partnerships.
🌟 Feeding: Organizing feeding programs to ensure sterilized ferals get regular sustenance.
🌟 Education: Teaching all ages about the importance and care of cats, dispelling myths, and promoting responsible pet ownership.
🌟 Rehabilitation and Homing: Providing shelter and medical care for sick or injured ferals, and finding homes for adoptable cats.
We are a small organisation, a lot of what happens is all through Charmaine, so when we say we cannot continue our work without your help and support, we mean it! Together, we can make a difference. Join us in creating a safer, kinder world for cats. 💖

RESCUE WITHOUT BORDERS
When we took Jakes in from a TNR (Trap, Neuter, and Return) organisation after seeing a photo of a severely emaciated kitten with numerous undiagnosed health issues, we didn’t know if we could save his life—but we knew we had to try.
We were shocked to learn that the skinny, long-legged, 12-week-old kitten was, in fact, almost six months old. Jakes was fast running out of time as his frail body struggled to develop.
The time, effort, and money spent on Jakes’ biopsies, vet consultations, bloodwork, and scans is irrelevant when one witnesses how happy, healthy, and whole he is today.
We have been criticised that the money spent on Jakes could have sterilised a large feral colony. And why did we not consider euthanasia for abandoned Bradley, who suffered a broken pelvis and several severe dog bites?
Is this who we are—the human race—that the sick and injured should simply be euthanised? My concern is the consensus that we should be selective about whom we rescue because there are so many healthier cats out there needing help.
It is an attitude of cold indifference, a result of accepting that thousands of healthy cats are euthanised in our country every single day. Just because it is ‘the way it is’ doesn’t make it right, and it shouldn’t mean that we simply accept it. We should feel deep sorrow, and at the very least discomfort, that so many healthy cats die every day because we have failed them.
No, we can’t save them all... we can’t even save enough to appease our conscience of ‘the way it is’. But each ill or injured life we rescue will be given the chance to be whole again.
Please donate to help us save the persecuted, abandoned, and unwanted.

HAPPILY HOMED: APRIL AND MARCHÉ 💜🐾
From Jolene:
Our journey with Friends of Ferals began on 16 July 2022 when we attended the Feral Kitten Day. Our hearts were still heavy after losing our beloved cat, and we needed some kitten love. We met the little ones, all named after the months of the year: Janubell, Febby, Marché, April, June, Juliana, and Augustus. Although some of the babies were very shy, we immediately fell in love with little April, who just wanted to escape the kitten enclosure—a true adventurer at heart. As we had four other furbabies at home, we decided not to adopt at the time, as we were certain that all of the kittens would find good homes.
In April 2023, we saw a post titled ‘Adopt April in April’, and that was it for us—April was coming to her forever home. Charmaine had raised these kittens with so much love and affection that the ‘teenager’ we met almost a year later was so lovable and such a cuddlebug, you wouldn’t guess she had been raised in a shelter. On the day we went to pick up April, we heard that some of April’s siblings were still there and that she and Marché were quite fond of each other. Needless to say, we came home with April and Marché that day. If they aren’t on top of the cupboards, they are playing in the garden. They are loved, adored, and having the time of their lives.
We want to encourage those looking to adopt not to only opt for a kitten. The teenagers and older cats have just as much love to give. When you see them playing, you see that little kitten who has blossomed into an individual with a unique personality. Each one of them is truly special.
We want to express our gratitude to Charmaine and everyone involved at Friends of Ferals for making a difference in these furbabies’ lives. Our hearts are full.

HAPPY MONDAYS
This is what we do... Transform lives... one life at a time.
Remember Caleb (renamed Sully), who came to us from another rescue organisation. He was severely malnourished and had gut and digestive problems. It took us over three months, many vet consultations, and numerous tests to get this sweet boy well.
Thanks to Dad Fabian for keeping us updated on Sully’s progress and for the stunning photos of their son.
We accomplish more together. Thank you to every supporter and donor for making it possible for difficult cases like Sully’s to have a happy ending.
