Caring for 12 feral colonies

VANDERBIJLPARK. - This is no easy task! Feeding and taking care of approximately 300 feral cats daily is a mammoth task. Farzana Ismail of The Feral Carer NPC opened her heart to feral cats in 2015 and since then has been feeding and taking care of 12 feral colonies daily.

She feeds approximately 300 feral cats daily and urgently needs support from the community (especially cat lovers) to continue with this selfless task.

Please take note that taking care of 12 colonies is a huge task and therefore The Feral Carer cannot take in any cats and kittens from people.

“Every month is an uphill battle. The Feral Carer NPC is desperately in need of funds. Without supporters, I wouldn’t be able to continue with my rescue endeavors. Please consider donating and know that your contributions are immensely appreciated at this time,” says Farzana.

Poor little Roxy was desperately in need of an enema last week. She is doing much better now, even playing with her kitty toys.

Her monthly expenses are exorbitant after visiting the vet almost daily.

“Please support my cause by becoming a monthly donor. All funds received will be used for purchasing food for the ferals, veterinary visits for foster cats and kittens, much-needed supplements, purchasing of materials for feral shelters and anything else that would make life a little easier for the precious kitties.”

If you would like to donate towards this worthy cause donations can be made into The Feral Carer NPC account:
