London Cat Colonies
AWI is permitted by its trust document to spay and vaccinate anywhere in the world. So whilst waiting for the various permissions to filter through in India, the trustees decided to work with local amateur feeders in London. These feeders take on a wild colony of cats by feeding them. The cats have no chips and therefore no owners. They live outside. Feeders are kind individuals who start feeding them and often become overwhelmed by the number of kittens being born. AWI has helped with a few colonies and abandoned cats this year. All the cats have been trapped, checked for chips, spayed, vaccinated, chipped and treated for fleas and worms. Most have been rehomed but some are still living wild but being fed and given shelter.
