It all began in 2021...
You might have heard of the #MaldivesStreetCatFund?
The fund came into existence in November 2021, when we realized Maldives has volunteers to take cats to the vet, but no funding for it.
So we started collecting donations to help street cats get urgent medical treatment to relieve misery and pain. In 2022 we then formally registered our non-for-profit Organization in the Maldives.
What we are doing now? Pictures say more than 1000 words...
The next step: TRAP-NEUTER-RELEASE in the Maldives (TNR)
Why do we we need this?
Maldives lacks (1) safe, (2) readily available AND (3) affordable spay and neuter services for all cats in the Maldives.
When veterinary services began, we have been seeing a high rate (ca 40%) of post-surgery infections, especially in females.
There's an uncontrolled population of several thousands street cats in the Greater Male’ area, resulting in cat killings by people who do not like cats opening garbage bags and defecating on the streets.
Target: Desexing a minimum 100 cats every month and therefore reducing the street cat population of Maldives in a humane manner, starting in Hulhumale', Male', Villimale' and further to the local islands and Resorts. By establishing Mobile Spay and Neuter Services for all islands, the problem of the whole country can be tackled.
