Northlands Ferals

Northlands Ferals Caring for feral cats in the Northriding area through feeding schemes and TNR WHAT DO WE DO? HOW IT WORKS? WHAT WE NEED?

We have a number of permanent feral colonies that we care for in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg. We also educate businesses and private individuals in how to identify, feed and sterilise feral cats they may come across. We are supported by a number of private vets and are often assisted by Animal Allies. During TNR (trap, neuter, release) feral cats are humanely trapped and then spayed or ne

utered, vaccinated and treated for external and internal parasites after which they are returned to the location where they were collected. During the sterilization one of their ear tips are also clipped for easy identification as a sterilized cat. Feeding programs are set up and maintained by volunteers and cats are allowed to live out the rest of their natural lives with less risk of the population exploding and becoming a problem for the community. Volunteers monitoring the cats are also able to see when cats become ill and can then trap them and take them to the vet for the appropriate treatment. For these projects to be successful, we need volunteers to help feed cats, donations of wet cat food (pouches or tins) for trapping, dry cat food for continuous feeding, old towels, linen and blankets to cover traps with, and most importantantly funds for the sterilization. A donation of R350 will cover the sterilization, vaccination, deworming and defleaing of one cat. Any donations of food greatly assist our volunteers and we can arrange delivery points around Joburg. Monetary donations can be paid directly into the vet's account - please contact us for more details. For more information or to make a donation, please send us a private message on Facebook.

Our cats are looking a littleโ€ฆ generously insulated lately. Apparently winter prep means zero self-control and maximum snacks. We prefer the term โ€œbig bonedโ€ with excellent survival instincts. ๐Ÿˆโ„๏ธ

Cola may be sleek, mysterious, and dressed head-to-tail in blackโ€ฆ but the moment the treat bag rustles, heโ€™s suddenly got a lot to say. ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿพ

This chatty boy never misses snack time and firmly believes treats should be served early, often, and with enthusiasm.

๐Ÿพ Only 2 cats sponsored so farโ€ฆ and 23 still waiting.

For just R250, you can help sponsor one of our babies that are part of the Santa Cause for Paws Christmas outreach๐Ÿ’›
Thatโ€™s it. One cat. One sponsor.
Santa Cause for Paws made it super easy:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Simply comment on the photo of the cat youโ€™d like to sponsor.

** Our shelter is now FULLY SPONSORED** - Please consider another furry friend in need

Hi, we are either up for adoption or outreach animals at Northlands Ferals.

You can sponsor us a gift. R250 and the volunteers at Santa Cause for Paws will shop and pack the perfect gift for me or an animal similar to me. For now these will go out over Christmas, unless the charities want them sooner - we will work with charities to see what they would like

๐Ÿšจ URGENT: A Feeder Needed for Our Northlands Feral Cats ๐Ÿพ

At the end of May, one of our feeders will be leaving us.
That leaves a gapโ€ฆ and for our colony of feral cats in Northlands, a gap doesnโ€™t just mean inconvenience - it means empty bowls and waiting for someone who doesnโ€™t arrive.

Right now, weโ€™re urgently looking for a kind human to step in and help feed ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ž๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ž๐ž๐ค๐ž๐ง๐.
What helping involves:
๐Ÿพ Feeding the colony every second weekend (late afternoon ยฑ16:00)
๐Ÿพ Providing dry food (we will discuss food preferences with potential feeders) and soft food treats
๐Ÿพ Refreshing clean water
๐Ÿพ Replacing blankets/straw when needed
๐Ÿพ Keeping an eye on their health and wellbeing

This colony is stable and cared for โ€” all the cats are sterilised, and some have been with us for over 10 years. Theyโ€™re not adoptable lap cats, but they are full of personality.
Thereโ€™s the brave one. The shy one. The drama queen. The one who firmly believes they own the entire suburb.
You may not touch themโ€ฆ but they will absolutely come to know you. And you will become part of their world.

The truth is simple: they depend on us.
To them, a feeder arriving isnโ€™t routine, itโ€™s survival.

If youโ€™ve ever wanted to make a real, tangible difference in an animalโ€™s life, this is it. A small commitment, that keeps a whole colony safe, fed, and cared for.

๐Ÿ’› Please comment or message us if you can help; weโ€™d love to arrange a meet-and-greet with the cats.
๐Ÿ“ข If you canโ€™t volunteer, sharing this post could help us find the person who can.
Somewhere in Northlands, a few familiar little faces are waiting.
Letโ€™s make sure someone shows up. ๐Ÿˆ
