KITTEN BUYERS - BEWARE OF SCAMMERS
Beware of advertisements placed for rare Peterbald kittens. There are
only 2 breeders in the country of this rare breed currently and all of
their kittens have been neutered before being placed in pet homes. BE
WARNED!
Please contact the South African Cat Council 011 616 7017 to make sure
you buy a Peterbald from a registered breeder that is in good
standing. To protect yourself against scammers that sell kittens of
any rare breed, please please please ensure the legitimacy of the
breeds!
You are welcome to us for any information.

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!!!
