Giving Feral Cats a Second Chance
Welcome to Cat Family Foundation
Cat Family Foundation is a registered NPO run by three full-time working crazy cat loving ladies. We trap, treat, feed, foster, advocate, and love – because every cat deserves a shot at a better life.
From kitten chaos to colony care, this is your one-stop paw-sitive hub for feral facts, adoption cuteness, and how you can help.
Whether you’re a feeder, fosterer, or just feline curious — there’s a place here for you.
We’re proud to be a Woolworths MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet beneficiary and issue Section 18A tax certificates to donors.
The Start of Something Wild
Our story began in February 2020 when Alise got a hysterical call – kids were throwing kittens over a wall onto the highway. She made a desperate plea on Facebook, and Ingrid responded, tagging rescue stalwart Viv Jones: “yay we can make a mission of it.!”
And in true South African style, when the gentleman we helped couldn’t pay us, he offered… homemade CBD oil. Ingrid swears it was “the bomb.” Alise? She settled for the samosas.
That little outing landed each of us with two extra cats in our homes.
And since there were more kittens than laps to go around, we gently (read: relentlessly) convinced a few close friends that their homes could use a little feline love too.
That’s how some of our first rescues found homes – with people who hadn’t planned on adopting… until we showed up with kittens.
This is our SIXTH year in rescue – 6 years of thousands of kilometres travelled, hours of trapping, growth, friendships, and a lot of cat poop.
