‼️ Justice for Leona – A Life Cruelly Taken

Imagine a life where you're constantly chased, hungry, and never truly safe. Then, imagine being rescued by kind souls who sterilised you, vaccinated you, fed you—and most importantly, loved you.

That was Leona’s life. She was part of a feral colony we lovingly manage. She was the sweetest, gentlest soul, adored and cared for by us.

⚠️ Then on Sunday, 1st June at around 13:00, Leona was shot in the spine with a hunting rifle near Avenpalm/Canterpalm in Palmview, Phoenix ⚠️
She dragged herself—paralysed, bleeding, in unimaginable pain—trying to get help. She was rushed to the vet, x-rayed, and heartbreakingly had to be put to sleep. Her injuries were too severe.

This was not just cruel—it was monstrous. Someone chose to cause this pain. This was not necessary. You could have chased her away—but you shot her instead.
WE WANT JUSTICE!

Do it for the Cats on Mandela Day!

Cats of Durban, in conjunction with Cats of South Africa and our US-based allies Alley Cat Rescue, has named July our Feral Fix month.
We are calling on everyone who loves cats to devote their 67 minutes to helping out a local feral sterilisation agency to sterilise feral and stray cats.

How can you help?
- We will be asking vets to offer discounts on sterilisations during the month of July. You can ask your local vet if they will be offering discounts during Feral Fix month.
- Our welfare organisations will be doing awareness campaigns around the benefits of sterilisations. You can help by spreading the word.

- You can offer your help to a local feral sterilisation organisation, either by sponsoring a procedure or by assisting with logistics.
- Please join us for updates by sending a Whatsapp message to 071 - 932-8925 or email [email protected] and put Feral Fix 2025 in your message.

Mandela and Cats!

Mandela owned dogs, but he had a soft spot for cats as well. His favourite African folk tale was called 'How the Cat Came Indoors'. You can read it here.
