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.

This weeks’ TNR & Sterilisations :

14 more cats this week received our help and were spayed or castrated through our TNR or low cost support programmes

Lorna trapped and spayed a mum from Helensvale, she has 3 kittens which Lorna will TNR in the new year when they are old enough. She also trapped a male from an existing TNR’d managed colony in Greendale. He was a bit underweight so is being kept in hospital for a few days to build his strength after surgery.

Katie mainly focused on one big colony in Westgate - she trapped 4 adult females, an adult male and 5 kittens. She also trapped a male from Bluffhill.

The team also assisted an owner sterilise her female.

If you are feeding ferals this is a reminder to please ask us to come and TNR them asap! Their numbers can increase faster than you know or realise. We have a waiting list of jobs ready for the new year but we are not scared of adding to it. WhatsApp us 0779 993 157

Total sterilised to date : 3,163

We are urgently looking for a working home (farm, office, stable or workshop) for this TNR’d male. He was TNR’d to a property but unfortunately is still causing arguments with the resident cats. The working home must be suitable for him, he must be kept in a secure room for 7 days with food, water, litter and once released continue to be fed. We also do need to retrap him once a suitable home is found. Please WhatsApp us on 0779 993 157 if you can help. Please share if you can Thank you!

Lorna and Katie will not be doing any routine trapping between the 22nd December and the 4th January so they can try to rest and recoup from another crazy year. They will attend to emergencies only - pregnant, sick or injured feral cats and kittens where the cats cannot be taken to a vet by a member of the public themselves and need to be trapped or handled professionally. If you have any TNR or adoption enquiries or need any advice please feel free to still WhatsApp us during that time 0779 993 157 thank you for your support 😻😸

This weeks’ TNR & Sterilisations

Another crazy week for the girls with no end in sight! Lorna TNR’d a colony of 8 from Ardbennie and a newcomer female from a colony in the Avenues. She also went alllll the way to Overspil Epworth to pick up a female who had two 2 week old kittens to take her for spaying. We are keeping track of the kittens progress.

Katie trapped a newcomer female from a well known colony in Arundel, also a mum and 3 kittens at one property in Mount Pleasant, and at another property a mum with one kitten not old enough to spay yet.

From Gunhill Katie trapped another female and at a property in Ridgeview a female teenage kitten.

This week we also assisted 4 owners sterilise their cats - 3 females and 2 males!

A total of 23 cats were sterilised this week by our TNR and sterilisation support programmes.

Total sterilised to date : 3,149

This year the cover is of a very special cat. She represents the partnership between CRZ and . In 2024 we joined VAWZ for the very first time on their sterilisation campaign to Kariba when this female was spayed. This year we returned to check on her when her owner then surrendered her to us. We brought her into Harare and have since rehomed her to a wonderful family. She signifies everything CRZ and VAWZ are trying to achieve together.

Our calendars are the biggest fundraiser every year and helps us continue our work helping community cats and those owned by low income families. We also love sharing photos of our beautiful rescue kittens with you. Thank you for your support as always! 😻

November Round Up:

Well you can’t say we don’t try with these kind of figures! November 2025 was a record breaking month for CRZ - the most cats we have ever sterilised in 1 month since we started in 2020.

We trapped cats across Harare - from Sentosa, Ballantyne Park, Avondale, Lewisam, Westgate, Marlborough, Alex Park, Mount Pleasant, Bluffhill, Northwood, Vainona, Colne Valley, Glen Lorne, Greystone Park, Philadelphia, Mount Hampden, Umwinsidale, Quinnington.

We also headed out of town twice - we went to Chinoyi with to sterilise 17 cats and also to Nyabira to trap ferals and help owners spay and neuter their tame cats.

November completely hammered us - we are exhausted but still we are trapping like mad in December … just waiting for our 2 week annual shutdown over Christmas and New Year. I think we deserve it!

Total sterilised end of November 3,126

This weeks’ TNR & Sterilisations :

Another busy summer week for the girls! 19 cats were sterilised through both our TNR or support programs

The girls had one big job out of town where they trapped 7 feral cats and brought into town 8 cats that were owned by the community. 8 females and 7 males in total. All cats were sterilised, rabies vaccinated and ear tipped if they were feral.

In Harare we assisted in sterilising a male from Umwinsidale, a tame female from Borrowdale and Lorna trapped a lactating female from Quinnington who was spayed and returned the same day so she could get back to her kittens. An owner at a property in Colne Valley, now quite experienced in trapping after catching 4 siblings from a litter, finally trapped the 5th and final kitten for neutering! We are always very grateful to clients who assist us in setting the traps when we can’t always come to reset them ourselves. Also it is such an achievement for the client involved too.

Total sterilised to date : 3,126

Please trust us when we tell you these facts.

If we remove kittens, mum will just have more. If we remove everyone more cats will move in. There is no magic place feral cats can get relocated to - if they are removed they are euthanised. We DO NOT want to do that.

There are A LOT of cats living on the streets in Harare and across Zimbabwe. You are not the only one with cats on their property.

TNR IS THE BEST SOLUTION.
