In Cyprus, there is a serious problem with the welfare of stray animals. Especially stray cats face neglect, abuse, and lack of medical care. With many injured, abandoned, or hit by cars, urgent action is needed. The government has never approached the issue comprehensively or developed an effective management program. The funded sterilization plan is inadequate and yields no meaningful results.
CatNation aims to create a safe shelter and provide veterinary care and asks us for help.
WHO's THE CATNATION?
CatNation works tirelessly every day to secure the well being of thousands of felines across the island nation.
CatNation cares for thousands of cats on a daily basis. Some of the daily actions thay undertake include:
- Feeding cats once a day in many parts of town.
- Fostering abandoned kittens and injured/sick cats.
- Medical care and rehabilitation of injured and sick animals.
- Spaying and Neutering to exercise population control.
CATNATION PROJECT:
Catnation’s project is amazing: a multi-purpose space that will promote animal welfare and benefit the local community. It will be called Cat Park and includes:
✅ Recreational areas for children and adults
✅ A playground and a café
✅ Educational and awareness spaces
This is a holistic and sustainable solution that will not only drastically improve the lives of stray cats but also contribute to local economic and tourism growth.
Another big goal is 5,000 spay/neuter procedures per year. Catnation aims to perform 300,000 fewer stray cats in just five years!
