The Animal Welfare Initiative sterilises 50 more feral cats in ongoing drive
Dedicated volunteers, vets, and sponsors unite once again to change lives - one cat at a time.
It was a busy time with late-night trapping and endless compassion for The Animal Welfare Initiative (TAWI).
The team successfully sterilised an additional 50 feral cats, bringing their grand total to an incredible 938 cats, since the project began.
Volunteers worked tirelessly to ensure each trapped cat was safely sterilised, treated and returned.
Linda Dunn Livesey of TAWI said kittens were rescued, ticks and fleas removed, and even hernias and abscesses treated, ensuring every animal received the care they deserved.
TAWI extended heartfelt thanks to Dr Dave Watson, whose dedication and generosity continue to make these drives possible.
“It’s a rare privilege for an animal welfare organisation to have a veterinarian who consistently exceeds expectations,” said the TAWI team.
“Dr Watson, thank you for your outstanding contribution to supporting vulnerable animals and for your invaluable role at TAWI.”
Volunteers also expressed gratitude to everyone who helped with trapping, transporting, feeding and cleaning, as well as to Lindelle Coetzee for ensuring every cat had a clean, comfortable recovery space.
Special appreciation was also given to Glen Lorain from Tassie with Love, whose compassion and support continues to reduce the suffering of feral kittens.
The TAWI team is preparing for a much-needed steri-drive for both dogs and cats in the Transkei region, near the Wild Coast Sun.
Anyone who would like to donate towards this cause can contact Linda on 082 7705579.
