Farzana needs help to feed feral cats

VANDERBIJLPARK - Feeding and caring for approximately 300 feral cats daily is a mammoth and sometimes heartbreaking task.

“It is often said that raising a child requires a village, but I firmly believe that it takes a community to support organisations like mine in this enormous project of transforming the lives of underprivileged community cats.”

But Farzana Ismail of The Feral Carer NPC fears that many people underestimate the magnitude of this undertaking.

Farzana opened her heart to feral cats in 2015 and since then has been feeding and taking care of 20 feral colonies daily.

Taking care of these 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 please know that your contributions are immensely appreciated at a time like this,” says Farzana.

Her monthly expenses are exorbitant as she visits the vet almost 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 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.”

Funds are needed for purchasing food for the feral cats and veterinary visits.
