Cats in Lanzarote
Published December 5, 2008 | Lanzarote is one of the most popular European sunshine and beach holiday destinations. But for animal, and specifically cat lovers, visiting this beautiful island, a holiday can be tainted very quickly by seeing the abuse and neglect that a lot of the feral cats that live here suffer…
9 Lives Lanzarote is a charity set up to help these cats. They aim to raise the living standards of the cat colonies living on tourist complexes, and via their spay/neuter programme cut down the number of unwanted kittens born every year – kittens that would either be dumped in a plastic bag, poisoned, drowned or otherwise cruelly killed by the staff of holiday complexes.
Based on the same principles that The Twinkle Trust on the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura employs, our main goals are as follows:
Education: visiting holiday complexes that house feral cat colonies, and educating owners and staff about spaying and neutering.
Communal Feeding Grounds: setting up “Cat Cafés” on tourist complexes, i.e. a communal feeding ground for all cats that live there, including putting up signs to inform holiday makers not to feed the cats anywhere else on the complex.
Spaying & Neutering: working with a team of qualified vets and nurses to trap, neuter/spay, health check and, if necessary, treat cats, before releasing them back in their previous surroundings.
If you want to get involved helping 9 Lives Lanzarote in any way, go and find all the info you need on their website: www.9liveslanzarote.com – they are looking for anything from clothes and bric-á-brac for jumble sales to raise funds, to veterinary assistance and money donations.
Our thanks to Barbarella from 9 Lives Lanzarote for providing this article for us… and raising awareness of the plight of cats in Lanzarote.
