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.

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.

URGENT!!! We are needing a suitable working home or homes for this mum and her 4 kittens (farm, stable, office or workshop)! A client last week changed their mind and refused to have them returned after we trapped the whole family and started sterilising them. We refused to euthanise them! Please help us give these beautiful cats another chance. They are all sterilised, rabies vaccinated and ear tipped!

WhatsApp us on 0779 993 157 thank you 🙏 😻

Kittens having kittens? WHAT? It’s unfortunately true. 😿

Cat Rescue Zim is a heavy advocate for early spay & neuter, especially since kittens can get pregnant as early as 4 months.

Spay & neuter stops the endless cycle of kittens being born and overwhelming animal shelters. Please WhatsApp us for help or advice to sterilise your kitten 0779 993 157

This weeks’ TNR:

Our work never ever slows down, especially during the first months of summer! A total of 27 cats were trapped by the girls this week despite the heavy rains. They were very determined not to let it stop them helping these cats.

Lorna trapped a colony of 8 at a property in Greystone Park - a mum, 4 kittens, 2 teens and dad. She also TNR’d 1 female and 3 males from Glen Lorne and another 2 male kittens from a property in Colne Valley - she has 1 kitten left to trap. She also assisted in catching a tom cat from Philadelphia and an owner in Umwinsidale sterilise her female.

Katie trapped 2 females from Westgate, a male from Mount Hampden, and trapped at 2 properties in Avondale catching 2 mums and their 6 kittens. Unfortunately one client - despite first agreeing for the mum and 4 kittens to be returned - has since refused for us to bring them back. We are very disappointed and emotionally distraught about this situation and are urgently looking for a working home for these 5 cats - whether they are separated or not. We do not want to euthanise this very healthy family. If you would like sterilised working cats for your farm, office, stable or workshop or know someone who might please WhatsApp us on 0779 993 157. Please help us give them a second chance. Thank you.

You might think it’s not necessary to neuter your males, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

They wander in search for females and can get lost. They can get in fights with feral males and contract fatal diseases and injuries. They can also cause major issues with other people’s neutered cats - fighting, spraying and generally being a pain!! So please please be responsible! It is so easy to solve this problem, neuter your males!! If you need any help to neuter your male or any advice please contact us on 0779 993 157 we are always happy to help. Thank you.

Cat Rescue Zim is not a shelter to surrender kittens/cats to. We are first and foremost a sterilisation program focusing on TNR (Trap Neuter Return) to address the cat overpopulation crisis in Zimbabwe. We are a very small team and do the best we can but we do not have facilities to shelter cats.

The kittens in our foster system are mostly from the trapping jobs we attend to. We only uplift if absolutely necessary (health, welfare or safety reasons).

A mother cat would usually choose an ideal, safe space to raise her kittens. This means there is no need to intervene until the kittens are old enough to qualify for a TNR program.

We do not remove community cats from their home, unless they are in immediate danger, as there is nowhere for them to go so they will be euthanised. Doing this will also create a vacuum and more unsterilised cats will just move into the territory.

We always advocate for TNR.

This weeks’ TNR & Sterilisations:

EXHAUSTED is an understatement to describe how Lorna and Katie are feeling after this week! Not only did the girls travel to Chinoyi from Wednesday to Friday and sterilise 17 cats alongside but before even leaving Harare they trapped 18 cats between them!

Lorna TNR’d 4 females and 3 males from Vainona, Katie TNR’d a colony of 7 from Mount Pleasant, 2 males from Bluffhill, a female from Westgate and a male from Northwood. After returning on Friday Katie also trapped another female from Westgate and we are assisting to sterilise 2 males from Colne Valley. Lorna also assisted an owner sterilise her 8 month old female.

In total 39 cats were sterilised this week - from Harare and Chinoyi! We are very grateful to the lady who organised and raised funds for our trip to Chinoyi to help the colony there and to those who donated towards it. Also a huge thank you to Secret Garden B&B for your hospitality! Lorna and Katie don’t get much of a break and nor do the vets who we work with! Another busy week next week as cats never stop needing our help! If you’d like to donate towards the work we do, please contact us on 0779 993 157 to see how you can help. Thank you! 😻
