Who are we?
Friends of Larnaca Cats is a small group of dedicated volunteer animal lovers. We came together because we are concerned about the condition of stray, street and feral cats in our area, many of whom live in dire conditions, struggling to survive off the food they are able to scavenge. Currently there is no government supported initiative to neuter feral populations and so cats are stuck in an ongoing cycle of breeding. Life for feral cats is short and full of risk from injury, disease and starvation. There is a shocking death toll amongst young kittens.
What do we do?
We support the many cat communities, abandoned cats, feral and street cats and kittens in the Larnaca area. We feed them, give them medical treatment when required, vaccinate and treat them for parasites. Our Trap-Neuter-Release programme "Nicked and Proud" allows us to start stabilising the feral populations where we work by catching cats, taking them to a vet for neutering, and returning them to their community. We focus on the St Lazarus, Mackenzie Beach and Salt Lake areas of Larnaca.
How are we funded?
Friends of Larnaca cats receives no government support so we are entirely reliant on donations. Whether it be from our own pockets or from our generous benefactors, we are grateful to every single person who helps by donating to our appeals. A huge thank you to all of you, to our friends and to strangers who we have never met us and yet who care as much about the welfare of the cats in Cyprus as we do and support us in our work.
Every donation helps! We are grateful for whatever you can send, be it €1 or €100
€3 will buy 5 tins of cat food;
€12 will treat a kitten or adult cat for parasites;
€35 will buy a big sack of cat biscuits;
