ABOUT US

CRZ is a 100% voluntary organisation made up of a small group

of cat lovers dedicated to improving the welfare of cats in Zimbabwe. This is achieved through the TNR Program (trap, neuter, return), FKP (foster kitten program) and the FFF (ferals for farmers) program. OUR VISION
To have fewer cats and kittens on the streets. To educate communities about the benefits of having cats and their place in the ecosystem, along with basic cat care. To educate businesses about basic cat care for feral cats on their premises. To run sterilisation programs in impoverished communities to improve the health and wellbeing of cats

TRAP NEUTER RETURN (“TNR”) WORK

We are dedicated to the management of the cat overpopulation crisis in Zimbabwe through an effective and humane TNR program. This is achieved by sterilising, vaccinating and ear tipping (for identification purposes) feral cats. TNR benefits everyone because it:
• humanly reduces the feral cat population on the streets
• drastically improves cats’ quality of life as it eliminates reproductive stress
caused by continual mating and pregnancies.
• reduces territorial stress and improves the cats’ health and by reducing their
chances of developing cancers and contracting cat diseases
• reduces noise from fighting and mating activities.
• reduces smells from the territorial spraying of urine.
• prevents the spread of rabies. The cats are returned to where they were caught originally and continue to live a peaceful life whilst keeping the rodent population down.

If you are thinking of introducing a new cat/kitten to a home with an existing cat please take a look at these essential steps to create a happy and healthy home for both cats. Introductions have to be slow, cats need to form a relationship and hierarchy. Hissing and vocalisations upon meeting is totally normal. Do not panic or interfere they are just figuring out who is who in the zoo. Only interfere if there is a physical fight. Most important thing is to stay calm and be patient. You can also use a product called Feliway - a cat approved diffuser specifically made to help cats remain calm in a new home.

If you need any help or advice please contact us on 0779 993 157 or pop us a message on our social media. We are always happy to help.

We have sterilised over 100 cats in just 6 weeks… this brings our total to over 2800 cats sterilised in Zimbabwe 🥳😻🙀😸

We cannot thank our supporters, TNR clients, foster parents, vets and donors enough for your encouragement and support of our work. Cat Rescue Zim is run by a dedicated small team who do this work for the love of the cats. We do it as it is our passion and it is who we are. But we cannot do it without our donors. Our work never ends, community cats will always need our help and we want to be there for them.

We also cannot do it without your help and eyes. Your reports of community cats on your property or in your area is the main reason why we can TNR, as we can’t have eyes everywhere all the time. Thank you also for taking our advice on board and following our protocols. They are in place for many many reasons.

We are also helping more and more people sterilise their owned cats, whether they give us nothing, $5 or cover our costs, we will help them. Ultimately we are trying to reduce the number of unwanted kittens being born and ending up in shelters or on the streets. We also want to help those cats and eliminate the health risks associated with breeding.

If you would like more information about our TNR program or would like any help or advice to sterilise your cats please whatsapp us on 0779 993 157, we are always happy to answer any questions. Thank you thank you thank you!!

This weeks’ TNR & Sterilisations :

This week 12 cats were sterilised through our programmes. Lorna TNR’d a female and a big male from Msasa.

Katie trapped a mum and her 2 older offspring in Vainona. The mum has 2 younger kittens who will be TNR’d in August. She also trapped 2 males from Monavale, a male from Milton Park as well as a female and 2 males from a colony in Northwood.

Lorna also assisted a lady in a nursing home complex with a friendly female who just appeared. This female wasn’t a young cat, she had a limp and a very sore mouth. The client couldn’t afford vet care for her but she wanted to do what was best for this girl. She contacted us and we assisted. Lorna collected her and took her to , she had ulcers in her mouth, a badly healed break in her paw and she wasn’t spayed. She was sterilised, her teeth cleaned, fully vaccinated, dewormed, deflea’d and was given a long lasting antibiotic and painkillers. She is now back in her home where she’s been named Kitty. CRZ has offered to continue to help with her vet care in the future. We are so grateful for people who take in friendly strays who have been obviously and cruelly dumped. We are happy to help where we can, and you, our supporters and donors are the reason we can help. So we thank YOU the most

Total sterilised to date : 2,808

Many people want to spay female cats for obvious reasons. They bring unwanted kittens and that’s pretty much a given. Some of those people then opt for males as a pet because “they can’t get pregnant”. They think a male makes a great “free” pet. ❌

Correct, they can’t get pregnant, but what those people fail to see are the many other hardships intact male cats must endure. 👎🏻 Why anyone wants a male spraying inside or outside their house is beyond me! 🥴 And, oh, the fights! 😭 Male cats can’t have babies, but they sure can make them!! Don’t let your cat be one who is contributing to the madness of “free kittens”, overcrowded shelters, kittens being thrown from cars or left at the dump, fed to snakes or drowned in yummye river. There are not enough homes. Just stop it if you can! Don’t contribute to the situations that already exist. NEUTER YOUR MALE CATS.

📣 There is no better thing you can do for a cat - male or female - than have them spayed or neutered. Period.

June’s Round Up!

Another busy month for the ladies, 56 cats were TNR’d from Arundel, Groombridge, Mandara, Colne Valley, Alex Park, Chisipite, Quinnington, Avondale, Mount Pleasant, Belgravia, Emerald Hill, Avenues, Newlands, Sentosa, Belvedere, Avonlea, Msasa, Greendale, Borrowdale, Highlands, Vainona and even Shamva. Across Harare community cats are needing our help to make their quality of life better and to reduce the suffering of kittens born on the streets.

We also assisted 6 owners to sterilise their cats through our low cost support programme - reducing the amount of unwanted litters being born and potentially ending up in shelters or being dumped on the streets

We would like to remind everyone that we are a small team of 2 trying to be in multiple places at once and assist multiple people at once. We do what we can, when we can, taking into account that we have personal lives too and we try to take breaks to stay sane. We are the smallest cat-dedicated organisation in Zimbabwe. Please keep that in mind - we will try our best to help when we can. Thank you for your continued unwavering support 😻❤️

Total sterilised at the end of June : 2,798.

This weeks’ TNR & Sterilisations:

A quieter week for actual surgeries but trapping felt as busy as ever! Lorna trapped a new visiting male at a property in Borrowdale as well as a big Tom in Greendale! She also trapped a mum and her 3 kittens in Highlands. The mum was moving her kittens across a busy road so Lorna made the decision to TNR mum who is more street wise but put the kittens through our foster system to prevent them from being victims of speedy Harare drivers. Hopefully they will tame down nicely and will be ready for adoption soon! Also on this job Lorna trapped a bonus big big Tom cat that has never been seen by the client…. We love it when that happens

A client at a property in Shamva under careful and strict trapping instructions from the CRZ team, trapped a male and brought him to the team in town for neutering. He has since been collected and returned home.

Katie also trapped 2 newcomers at a property in Avondale - both female and thankfully both showing no signs of having kittens.

Lorna also trapped a neutered tame male that had been visiting a property for 2 months in Quinnington… he was taken to the vet to check for a microchip and for tick and worm treatment. No microchip was found but luckily Lorna posted him on the Facebook group Zim pets lost and found and his owner quickly recognised him. This doesn’t always happen and if cats do not have a microchip it makes it a 1000 times harder to reunite them with their owners. So please neuter your cats and ask your vet to microchip them at the same time, you never know what can happen! Thank you! 😻
