Our Mission

 

Our mission is divided into three assignments:

• Taking care of the cats living in Kennedy Park through:

  • Feeding daily more than 150 cats living in the park (at least 12 kilos of balanced food per day);

  • Deworming and vaccinating them annually;

  • Spaying and neutering all the new cats. About 4 cats a week are sterilized (males and females);

  • Providing medical treatment for sick and injured cats. In winter humidity in Lima is high and most cats get colds, for which they must be treated;

  • Sheltering the cats during end of year festivities;

  • Generally ensuring the cats’ safety and welfare.

• Holding a permanent adoption program by:

  • Attending an adoption booth in the park every week-end;

  • Providing foster care to recently abandoned cats and kittens until their adoption;

• Managing the Huachipa Shelter, where many cats from the park have been safeguarded three years ago.

 

We gather funds through donations through our spanish Facebook page, by organizing flea markets and selling cat-themed jewelry at the adoption booth.
