We need your help to continue help the cats who need us so much.
Some have been abused or neglected, some have been injured or run over, some are house cats that have lost their owners who have passed away.
Behind every cat is a difficult life story that brought them to us, every cat that finds a warm home makes room for another cat that still needs help.
The cattery is operated by volunteers only and is divided into areas:
1. An area specially adapted for blind and disabled cats.
2. An acclimatization area specially designed for new cats to make it easier for them to adapt.
3. A treatment area where cats are treated to maintain their health and well-being.
4. A kitten area - the cutest room where young cats begin their journey until they find permanent homes.
The cattery currently has almost 300 cats, all of whom are treated, vaccinated, and sterilized.
And every year, over 150 cats are put up for adoption.
In addition to the cats living in the cattery until a home is found, the association operates and performs sterilizations and medical treatments for the street cats of Tira, Taiba, Qalanswa and Umm al-Fahm.
Following the war, in the past year the amount of donations has decreased significantly, and on the other hand - hundreds of additional cats rescued from war zones have been rehabilitated, but the number of permanent cats living in the cattery has significantly increased.
This situation has brought us to financial difficulty that does not allow us to continue to take in additional cats who need us so much.
Join the crowd of supporters with a regular monthly donation that will allow us to continue helping other cats in need, who will also go through the process of rehabilitation, care, and finding warm homes.
The monthly cost for maintenance and medical treatments reaches 50,000 shekels (Around $13,850).
Every donation will help us continue our activities for them and give them the best.
Meet them - a small portion of those who have been adopted or are waiting for a warm home:

We are a non-profit organization that rescues and rehabilitates animals, focusing mainly on donkeys and horses. Today we are the largest shelter in Israel and one of the largest in the world. The shelter currently houses approximately 1,700 animals, including approximately 1,200 donkeys, 100 horses, hundreds of cats, dogs, farm animals, and more, animals that have been subjected to cruel abuse, severe neglect, or abandonment. At the shelter, we give them the opportunity to start over, to experience a life of freedom, love, and the good side of humanity.
Monthly donations allow us to have stability in funding the cattery's operating expenses.
