URGENT CALL FOR HELP: TAWI needs your help to trap and transport feral cats for steri-drive

If you're available and willing to lend a hand, please contact Linda on 082 7705579 or Barbara on 082 8537556.

Transkei Animal Welfare Initiative (TAWI) is thrilled to announce they have secured a generous donation to sterilise nominated colonies of feral cats on the KZN South Coast.

However, they need the public to help make this project a success.

TAWI is in urgent need of volunteers to help trap and transport these feral cats to the designated sterilisation location, St Mike’s, where their veterinary team will perform the sterilisation procedure.

Once the procedure is complete, they will need volunteers to return the cats to their ‘homes’.
Cats recently caught, spayed and released at one of Trudie Roets sterilisation drives.
*Specific requirements:
* TAWI need trappers, to trap feral cats on Saturday, June 8 between 16:00 and 21:00.
* They are looking for people to team up with their usual trappers, so they are not alone trapping at night.
* Cats will also need to be returned on Sunday, June 9 afternoon/evening.
Cats will be trapped and spayed.
*How You Can Help:
* If you have a friend or family member who may be interested in helping out, please encourage them to join.
* TAWI will provide traps and all necessary equipment. They need capable people with reliable vehicles.
* Your help will make a huge difference in the lives of these feral cats, and TAWI cannot do it without your support.
* Let’s work together to make a positive impact on our community.
* If you’re available and willing to lend a hand, please contact Linda on 082 7705579 or Barbara on 082 8537556.
