Our Mission
is to improve access to an autonomous, healthy, and happy life for all individuals regardless of species. We do this by working alongside locally-led groups on projects that have a direct impact.
Many regions throughout the Global South suffer unique challenges that require creative and strategic perspectives, approaches, and tactics. We believe no one knows how to overcome these barriers better than those on the ground.
We focus on capacity-building in marginalized communities of the Global South to effectively protect the animals in our community.
We have worked on-site alongside groups in Vietnam, Cambodia, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Greece while collaborating with a larger network of initiatives across the Global South including Turkey, India, Philippines, United Arab Emirates, and more.
Our Work
High Impact Programs
Spaying and neutering free-living community cats and dogs is often the best way to help them in the majority of the world where endless rescue and lifelong shelter is not possible.
Our team is actively running Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return-Monitor (TNVRM) projects throughout the Global South, working alongside communities to protect free-living animals. We focus on high-quality, high-volume, and high-impact TNR standards.
We also provide advice and consulting to organisations of any size on setting up and running their own Cat Population Management programs.

Fostering and Rescue
We foster and rescue animals of all species when possible.
We have fostered cats short-term and long-term, transported cats to the airport for overseas adoption, and flown with cats internationally to their adoptive home.
We have rescued pigeons, rats, and other urban animals who were sick or injured, transporting them to widlife-specific rehabilitation centers. We have also rescued multiple aquatic species from pet shops, and currently have one resident betta fish named Blue.

Animal Sanctuary Support
Sanctuaries provide essential protection and care to animals who have been discarded, neglected, abused, or simply born unlucky as a commodified species. They demonstrate a revolutionary new model of unconditional care, kinship, and reciprocity towards others.
We equip sanctuaries with the resources and strategies they need to overcome the barriers they face to providing high-quality lifelong care.

Travel Animal Rescue around the world
Kotor Kitties
Kotor, Montenegro
In 2022, we worked alongside Kotor Kitties to spay and neuter 39 free-living cats in the Bay of Kotor, Tivat, and Budva.
Kotor Kitties is Montenegro’s first high-quality, high-volume TNR project and have sterilized over 11,000+ community cats since 2018 with the help of an all-volunteer team.
Cat Shelter Jessica
Belgrade, Serbia
In 2022, while visiting Belgrade, Serbia we helped Trap-Neuter-Return 5 community cats alongside the locals who cared for them, who no longer wanted to see them constantly give birth, get sick, and suffer on the streets.
Cat Shelter Jessica provides shelter to 30 rescued cats while trying to find them loving homes.
Cats of Trebinje
Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina
In 2022, we traveled to Trebinje to meet with the southern regions first registered nonprofit focused on TNR. We met with local volunteers and discussed best practices and techniques for trapping cats for sterilization.
This team has sterilized over 100+ community cats since 2022.
The ARC Sanctuary
Lefkada island, Greece
In 2023, we spent two weeks at the sanctuary doing direct animal care and up-keep of the sanctuary maintenance. We trapped, sterilised, and returned community cats to help with local TNVRM efforts.
We also provide short-term sleepovers in Athens for soon-to-be adopted ARC cats who are flying to their new homes abroad.
Nine Lives Greece
Athens, Greece
Since 2022, we supported Nine Lives Greece as a feeder and emergency cat trapper, bringing special equipment to catch and transport cats for sterilisation or emergency medical care.
From 2024 – 2025, we supported their high-volume TNVRM program which resulted in 1,300+ cats trapped, sterilised, and returned to their colonies in central Athens.
The 5th Cat
Syros island, Greece
In 2023, we joined French-registered charity The 5th Cat to trap, spay/neuter, rehabilitate, and return 21 cats in the countryside of Syros island.
This project is part of a larger multi-year project to help free-living cats receive the basic care they need to survive these harsh rural conditions, live longer and suffer less without continuing the cycle of endless birth and death.
Schinoussa Island Municipality
Schinoussa island, Greece
In November 2025, we were invited by the local municipality to spend one week on the island of Schinoussa in the Cyclades supporting a TNVRM campaign.
During this week, we surveyed and mapped the entire island alongside Animal Action Greece, and the trapping team from our Neuter The Streets project trapped 98 cats on Schinoussa Island. Meanwhile, cats were trapped on Iraklia by Cats of Iraklia and SCARS, and on Koufinisi by Cats of Koufinisia, amounting to 242 cats in total spayed or neutered from all 3 islands that week.
Save A Greek Stray’s veterinarians and logistics team took great care of the cats medical needs, also providing microchips and vaccinations.
SNIP International
Budapest, Romania
In October 2025, we joined the SNIPi trustee team for an Animal Welfare Conference hosted by Asociația Red Panda, to donate trapping equipment to animal rescue groups across Romania.
Overall, 30+ rescuers and organisations received equipment manufactured by MDC, who specialises in humane and live catch trapping equipment.
The trustees also gave presentations on guidance for high-quality and strategic trapping campaigns.
Urme de Bucurie
Cernavoda, Romania
In October 2025, we joined SNIPi trustees and a local animal rescue and shelter to peer-learn and skill-share in their city.
Together, we strategised on strategic Cat Population Management, including surveying, mapping colonies, and counting cats. Collecting this data helps groups strategically approach sterilisation program and better support their community animals.
We also trained together in the field, practicing mass cat trapping as well as strategic cat trapping for those difficult to catch, last remaining cats, completely sterilising each cat colony.
