To all the cat lovers in Joburg: we need help please.

In the 15 years that Kitty Camp has been open, we've met hundreds of wonderful cat lovers (if you're following this page, you're probably one of them!). Unfortunately, we have also had cases where owners have abandoned their cats with us. And then there've also been cats we've rescued from bad situations.

We've offered these cats a safe and loving place to stay in the cattery until they find new homes.

With Kitty Camp closing soon, we need to find homes for these remaining cats fairly urgently and we hope our great community will help.

We've got to know all of these babies and they are incredibly special to us. They deserve good homes, with cuddles and catnip and comfort.

How can you help?

1. Consider adopting a kitty or two
2. Share this post with your friends and family
3. Download the images and send them to all the cat lovers you know – whether via school groups, your neighbourhood WhatsApp groups, your book club, your knitting circle, or simply to any person in your contacts who's ever sent you a cute cat meme.

We will be vetting potential pawrents and doing a home check. Please reach out via WhatsApp to Celeste if you're interested in any of these beautiful pawsonalities: 082 588 1578

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the closure of Kitty Camp cattery. This decision was incredibly difficult, but after much thought, my family and I have decided to sell our home, which means Kitty Camp will be closing too.

While this marks the end of an era, it’s not a goodbye. I’m excited to offer my petcare services, helping with everything from vet visits to pet-sitting. I hope you’ll consider me for your petcare needs, and I’m also happy to recommend quality catteries if needed.

Thank you for your trust and support. It has been a pleasure caring for your cats, and I look forward to serving you in new ways!

CATS HAVE INSTINCTIVELY KNOWN HOW TO CARE FOR THE VERY YOUNG, WHETHER ITS MATERNALLY DRIVEN FOR HER YOUNG KITTENS OR HERE IN HOMES WHERE THEY WILL ALWAYS NURTURE & EXPRESS LOVE FOR OUR TINIEST HUMANS.

Rather extreme, but still a good 😊 laugh.

Handing over a good idea 👍

Smart trick 😹

Our little Manx boy MORRIS often has a cry for help when passing stools. Because he doesn’t bend his back legs like other kitties or even have a tail which could help, his pooh often dries at the back, often causing a bigger issue. A trip to the bath with warm water slowly does the trick & all the embarrassment gone! Morris was the runt of the litter, but he is so endearing, when it came to finding him a home, we did just that - at KITTY CAMP. 💕

OTTO ( facing camera ) decided to bring his best friend MONSTER to KITTY CAMP & show him how to relax & do Kitty stuff for a while. It didn’t take long before MONSTER had found a favourite place & now knows about siesta time in the afternoon! Otto just knows it all - been there, done that ha ha

Sometimes it's hard to see out of the world you've created for yourself.

Last night, for the first time in a very long time I treated all my kitties to what's normally one of their favourite foods. I started this home prepared meal mainly for my older cats, but saw that it had generally caught on & become popular amongst them all because most loved chicken. Its served 2 ways: one like the pic ( I use a pair of scissors to cut the pieces smaller of course ) and second much smoother ( in my processor ) to form a pate, both so very yum.

I cook my chicken slowly in a pot with uncooked rice & cover with water with 1 x pkt soup mix You can cook some veg separately ( peas & carrots should be processed if possible ) - but pumpkin/butternut a must should go into pot half way. There is never anything over 'cos remember little doggies get their share too!

Madeleine
( mom to KITTYCAT ) sent me a rather appropriate pic of how her kitty felt at the end of her "holiday" at KITTY CAMP : fun & exciting while it lasted, but so happy to be home!

KITTYCAT is at KITTY CAMP for the first time and has really loved each & every day. Interesting to me was the fact that 2 teenage boys have never owned an animal so this little kitten gets away with almost anything! Both absolutely adore her & of course I was sad at the end of her stay to see her go. Hopefully we will see her again.

WE ALL KNOW THIS, RIGHT?

Our Sundays are special for KITTY CAMP cats. We have our usual CATNIP PARTY at the end of the day and on & off throughout Sunday Marion enjoys BRUSHING most of the kitties.
KOKO thoroughly enjoys the attention as well as the brush.

By now Marion has had to move her position as kitties were "pushing in" & wanted their brush so Marion had to move stations! Brushing & TLC is very popular ...

I've left a comment & advice with pic of cat fur collected from brushing.
