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.

Remember the lil kitten found with glue/sticky stuff all over her? Well swipe to see what she looks like now in her forever home! We are so thrilled to share this update with you, and so grateful to the loving family who adopted her ❤️

Kittens should not be having kittens - yet it happens all the time.

You have the power to end the cycle of pet overpopulation. Spaying female kittens before their first heat cycle eliminates the risk of an unintended pregnancy.

Make sure all kittens are fixed before 5 months of age! If you need any help or advice please contact us on 0779 993 157

Last weeks’ TNR:

A total of 10 cats were trapped last week, the first family of 5 were trapped from a property in Belvedere - a mum and her 4 kittens. Unfortunately they were not able to be returned due to the clients personal situation. So we neutered them and have kept them for our ferals for farmers programme, incredibly we have already rehomed 2 of the kittens. So we are still looking for a working home for mum and 2 kittens.

Katie TNR’d a male from Umwinsidale, a female from Chisipite and a female from Glen Lorne. Katie also helped a client in Norton trap a male and a female at his property and assisted a client neuter his cat.

Lorna is now back in Harare but we are going to have a very quiet week this week due to the long weekend. We will only be attending to emergencies over the next 2 days.

Total sterilised to date : 3,839

July was a quiet month for kitten intake - in general cat breeding does reduce in winter due to lack of resources and the cold weather, however is doesn’t completely stop all together.

A litter of 4 kittens were uplifted by us from a trapping job in Highlands as we were concerned about their condition. Another female came into us after being found covered in a sticky gluey substance.

Five different families adopted from us in July. We are so incredibly grateful to everyone who adopts from us and open their homes and hearts to rescue fur babies. Thank you so much

We are in desperate need of dry food donations for our monitored community cat colonies that we feed on a regular basis. Feeding colonies especially in busy public areas allows us to keep a track of the numbers in the colony, their health and if any new members show up so we can TNR them and keep the numbers steady!

We also need food for our TNR patients whilst in our ward at the vet and for our foster kittens too.

We understand the shortage in cat kibble at the moment in Zimbabwe but we are hoping someone could possibly help us get some in via SA or if anyone has any their cats won’t eat we would make very good use out of it.

If you’d like to donate please WhatsApp us on 0779 993 157 thank you for your continued support!

July’s Round Up!

A very busy winter for the team as they TNR’d a total of 52 cats from across Harare including Warren Park, Mainway Meadows, Mount Pleasant, Milton Park, Highlands, Hillside, Borrowdale, Graniteside, Hatfield, Lewisam, Belgravia, Philadelphia, Northwood, Alex Park and Emerald Hill. Not only that but they also TNR’d 22 during their trip to Kariba.

July seemed to be the month of the male as we TNR’d many more males than females - many people think males are not as important to neuter as females, but they are JUST as important. Remember it takes TWO to tango. Males will travel up to 3 miles to find a female to mate with, coming across many dangerous obstacles along the way including other big males who they fight viciously with to claim the females. The injuries they get can be fatal if not treated and the diseases they can catch can also be fatal. So please get your males neutered for not only their sake but yours too!

In July we also assisted 9 owners sterilise their cats which we are delighted with! Thank you for contacting us so we can help

Total sterilised to date at the end of July is 3,828

This weeks’ TNR & Sterilisations:

Another week where Katie has worked miracles whilst Lorna is away.

Katie TNR’d a family of 5 from a property in Highlands. There were also 4 kittens trapped however we were concerned about their body condition and future so we decided to uplift them and hopefully find homes for them very soon. Katie also TNR’d 2 males from Mount Pleasant.

Katie also trapped at a property in Alexandra Park - TNRing 2 females and 1 beautiful Siamese male! But that’s not all. Katie also trapped neutered and returned a mum and her 3 kittens from Milton Park, as well as a big Tom presumed to be dad!

We also had a client from Philadelphia trap a male on her property who we gladly neutered and returned. We also assisted an owner sterilise her male and female.

Another 18 cats were sterilised this week bringing our total to date to 3,828

One unspayed female can lead to hundreds of unwanted kittens… spaying not only protects your cat from going through endless heat cycles and pregnancies but also from infectious diseases, cancers and fatal infections.

Please consider getting your female spayed - this can be done from 4 months of age - if you need help whatsapp us on 0779 993 157 we offer low cost options

Our newest arrival found with horrible sticky stuff all over her. We assume from a rat trap but we could be wrong. Thank you to the kind member of the public for contacting us… after a couple of baths we’ve managed to remove most of the horrible goo, and she is looking much better. She is a very friendly kitten so must have belonged to someone…. She will stay with us and if she is unclaimed she will be available for adoption.
