Star Paws Stray Cat Project
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Our local partner is s a non government organization, which organizes international voluntary service in Indonesia. It was established on 22nd of August 2015 with its base in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia.
💼 What the programme involves
Background :
Some people just ignore the existence of stray cats in their neighborhood or even see stray cats as pests. They live in the traditional market, housing area, and also the streets. Often, we find kittens being dumped inside a box on the street and in the traditional markets. People just don't want to be bothered by the newborn kitten and think that dumping the kittens in the traditional market will solve the problem. In fact, almost all kittens die instead of surviving. It is not different from slowly killing them.
This project focuses on two main activities. Raising awareness of local people against animal abuse, spreading the message to start doing good things for stray animals around us. Supporting the cat lover community by helping them to maintain the shelter, street feeding, and fundraising.
Main Works :
✔ Street Feeding in Universities, Traditional Market, and other places.
✔ Manual works in the cat shelter
✔ Caretaking a cat (volunteers have to choose a cat from Star Paws as their pet
