Feral Cat Trappers visit Mdzananda - by Jane Levinson

We borrowed a cat trap from Rita Brock of the Feral Cat Project at Pollsmoor Prison for several weeks which I returned one Saturday morning. I was so inspired to find dedicated team of cat trappers working together - Thys Venter ( Simonstown Feral Cats), Rita Brock ( Pollsmoor Prison Feral Cats) and Mandy Store (part of Management team, Tears). They had got up at the crack of dawn to trap a colony of cats at Steeldale in Epping.

Later on that morning, Rita and Mandy wanted to visit our clinic. On our way to clinic Rita spotted two emaciated puppies savaging for food on the pavement. We took the puppies to clinic for treatment. Unfortunately they had to be humanely euthanased as they were both in the advanced stages of billary and distemper.
