Gambia - Sere Kunda - GambiCats
.
GambiCats started working with cats in The Gambia, West Africa, in 1998 and became a UK Registered Charity in 1999. Our objectives are to encourage neutering, and help improve the welfare of the cats and dogs. The programme started as a response to the poor conditions of many of the cats in the hotels and the methods being used to control their numbers. These included poisoning, and dumping cats in the countryside after catching them in nets. These methods were both inhumane and ineffective. It's going to be a tough summer for the hotel cats and beach dogs (and GambiCats)..

With more hotels and restaurants than ever closing for periods of 3 - 7 months there is chaos at the moment. Hotels still open are being besieged by hungry cats from all round - including the Sheraton Hotel and the Gambia Experience office. We are taking on more staff to feed at special locations twice a day to entice the cats and dogs away from the hotels. Managers are getting complaints from guests while we try and get the cats used to the new routines!  Pet food is expensive in The Gambia, as is rice and bonga fish which we used to feed.

Please help the cats and dogs get through this rainy season by helping GambiCats to meet the extra costs - otherwise we fear the hotels will start to poison again, or remove the cats and dogs to the bush where they stand little chance of survival!
