CAT BREED OF THE MONTH: Norwegian Forest

 

Norwegian Forest  Cat


Character: Hardy, agile, affectionate, intelligent, good-natured and independent

Care: Very little grooming required, except when shedding.

The Norwegian Forest Cat has been around for centuries. It can be found in literature and art from the early 1900's and some of the oldest stories describe a cat that explored the world with the Vikings, protecting their grain stores on land and sea.

HELP NEEDED
 

I'm afraid we've received very few donations for the sterilisation outreach to Bloemfontein this weekend. And since all the plans have been arranged with Tricha from Feral Squad and Dr Peter Smith from Onderstepoort, we would hate to cancel them at this late stage. It would also not make much sense to go to all that trouble and then only be able to sterilise a few cats.

There is a large colony of unsterilised feral cats (and kittens) living at a small overnight stop outside Bloemfontein called Tom's Place. The owner, Michelle, contacted me as she is desperate for help with sterilising these cats. Michelle feeds the cats every day and is very concerned for their welfare. There are between 40 and 60 cats that need to be trapped and sterilised.

Feral cats need help: Villieria, Pretoria

Hi everyone,

These cats are part of a small feral colony of 9 at the corner of 29th and Terblanche Streets, Villiera, Pretoria. Until now, they have been looked after by one of our CatPals, Laura, but she's battling to cope with all the ferals she is trying to care for. She has already had this little colony sterilised, but she is sending out an urgent plea to ask whether there is anyone who would be prepared to take over their feeding from her.

Hi everyone,

The pics below are of the cats at the Melgisedek home for destitute people in Pretoria, where people who have no money are trying to care for a little cat colony of about 10 cats. (The cats have all been sterilised, and we also take cats who need medical attention to the vet, such as the ginger below, who needed help with its paw.) One gentleman, Jack, lives in a small flat nearby, and every evening, rain or shine, he walks to Melgisedek to feed the cats. The lady in the pics below, Miems, who used to live there herself, also goes there regularly to try to help them, as do some of the inhabitants. But they are battling. The problem is the familiar one: A need for catfood!!!
