What we do
For the past seven years, we have been dedicated to rescuing, caring for, and rehoming cats in the beautiful village Dahab, Egypt. Our mission is to provide a safe haven for abandoned and stray cats, offering them the medical care and love they need to recover. From newborn kittens to adult cats, we work tirelessly to give them a second chance at a better life. Through adoption programs, public awareness campaigns, and community outreach, we strive to make a lasting impact on the lives of cats and the people who care for them.
Medical help
We take in sick, elderly, young, vulnerable and injured cats and kittens and through our local vet provide treatments for skin infections, tooth extractions, eye infections, mouth problems, bites, injuries and viruses. All cats and kittens coming to us are checked for any ailments and are vaccinated, wormed, given love and attention and neutered. During neutering of street cats our vet checks the cats over and takes care of any necessary treatment at the same time. This may involve removing teeth, dealing with ear mites or cleaning wounds received from fights.Life on the streets can be tough and we aim to arm the cats with the ability to survive through vaccination and worming and in some cases feeding programmes.Once a cat has recovered or a kitten has reached a certain size and age we operate RTF (Return to Field) with the ones that are suitable.
Neutering
We run neutering programmes in Dahab for street cats. As well as reducing the cat population, neutered cats generally live happier, healthier and longer lives. Neutering protects female cats against breast cancer and uterine infections, and male cats against testicular cancer. Unneutered males are also likely to present anti-social behaviour - spraying, yowling and fighting for territory.Across the world, many animal welfare organisations adopt a trap, neuter and release scheme for stray cats. Once a cat has been neutered, we release it back in the area we picked it up from. 
Adoptions
Some cats are not suitable for RTF due to chronic health conditions, disabilities, traumatic starts in life, or being abandoned by previous owners.
For these cats, sponsorship is a valuable alternative to help cover treatment and food costs. In a transient town like Dahab, many previously loved cats are left behind when their owners move on. We believe these cats deserve a chance to find a new forever home, locally or abroad.
Many street cats also make wonderful companions, and we welcome adoptions and foster carers from anywhere in the world, including Dahab and wider Egypt, while we find them the perfect forever home.
Shelter
At our shelter, we’ve created a safe, welcoming space for over 65 cats across two locations. These cats have the freedom to come and go as they please, knowing they always have a place to return to, between four walls where they are cared for and loved. Currently, 40 cats reside in the first house, and 25 in the second.Unfortunately, due to financial struggles, we are facing the heartbreaking reality of having to close one of these locations. This means we can no longer take in new cats, and we are urgently seeking adoptive homes for the ones already in our care.While we do everything possible to find loving homes, those cats we believe are strong and independent enough will be released near local restaurants and hotels, where they can safely live on their own.Your support through adoption can make a life-changing difference for these cats. Together, we can give them the second chance they so deserve.
Awareness & advices
At our shelter, we believe that a kinder world for animals begins with education. Sadly, we often see local children who don’t know how to properly interact with animals, sometimes throwing stones out of curiosity or play. While this may be the current reality, we are committed to changing it.We actively engage with the community by organizing markets and going out into the streets to talk with people about how to treat animals with respect and kindness. We also provide advice for those who find newborn kittens on the street, offering guidance on how often they need milk and the care they require. Additionally, we help people who want to travel with their cats by providing all the necessary information about adoption procedures.Through these efforts, we aim to inspire compassion and understanding, one conversation at a time, helping to create a safer world for animals.
