Since 2012 Maneki Neko Cat Rescue has grown from our founder’s Samantha and Carl taking in a few cats at a time to help out local vets to a network of over 150 Foster Carers and Volunteers. In 3 short years we have saved and rehomed over 600 cats and kittens as well as provided food and veterinary work for many more.
But we want to do more! Every year thousands of cats and kittens in Victoria are killed to make way in the shelters for more. These are healthy, adoptable, sweet natured and beautiful souls that deserve better.
The Maneki Neko Adoption Centre will be the first of its kind in Victoria. No cages, just spaces for cats and kittens to be the cutest, most curious and engaging creatures that they are, where you can be part of their world and find your purrfect match.
Our Vision is to create a centre focused specifically on cat adoption. Our volunteers and supporters are amazing and we can’t wait for you to meet them all as we go on this journey to become leaders in cat welfare!
Our Goal is to raise $20 000! We have identified a suitable premises, we have plenty of cats in need, but we need to ensure that we can realise our vision for the fit out and facilities.
We need your help with lots of the boring stuff (like walls and plumbing!) as well as inviting cat runs, furniture and bedding.
We also need to be able to continue our current programs, rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming cats and kittens, taking in the sick and those in need of vet work until they can be rehomed, and providing food and vet work to those in need.
Please share this campaign with all of your friends, family, workmates and cat lovers so that we can reach our target and make the Maneki Neko Adoption Centre a reality.
Thank you for your suport!
Samantha and the Team at Maneki Neko
