Little Kattitude Shop now open
At this point, we feed about 600 cats per month, and that is about 80kg of cat food.
Kattitude launched the Little Kattitude Shop at the Selcourt Veterinary Hospital on Saturday.
“The sales we make at the shop will help us feed more feral cats. At this point, we feed about 600 cats per month, and that is about 800kg of cat food. It adds up pretty quickly,” explained Tanya Kitching, one of the NPO’s members.
The group’s main purpose is to trap, sterilise and release feral cats.

“This helps to keep the population down in the feral community, stops unwanted kittens and also prevents the spreading of diseases.
“We are appealing to the community to visit our shop and to donate any items that we can resell. We depend on these funds to keep the organisation going,” added Lynsey Russell, another member.
Kattitude partners with veterinarian Dr Thulani Mthimunye to ensure that the procedures are medically sound.
Shireen Vlaming, from the organisation, runs the Kattitude auction and shop page on Facebook to maximise sales.
The shop will be open a few mornings every week. Residents are encouraged to stop by and to donate usable goods.
