Cats from Vis {Croatia}

Christmas is coming! 

What better gift for your cat-loving friends (and yourself) than this beautiful calendar featuring the street cats of Vis? 

By purchasing this cat calendar, you will be directly supporting the work of Street Cats of Vis, a small, volunteer-run project in Vis, Croatia. 

Vis is one of the smallest inhabited islands in Croatia, located about two and a half hours from the mainland. 

Resources for humans are rudimentary there, and for animals it's even worse. 

For over 20 years, there was no vet on the island, but now there's a small vet clinic that's open once per week (usually), and the town of Vis pays for the sterilization of its street cats. 

Street Cats of Vis was founded as an all-volunteer project back in the pre-vet days to help street cats all over the island. 

Spaying and neutering is still not a widely accepted practice.

Many people prefer to let nature take its course, resulting in overpopulation and the unnecessary suffering of so many unwanted cats and kittens. 

Dumping, poisoning, and other cruelties are unfortunately still common. 

Progress has been made through targeted TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts as well as the visibility of volunteers doing the work and helping people who want to help cats. 

The project relies on donations in order to pay for all other vet bills besides sterilizing, as well as for expenses related to fostering and adoption. 

Rehoming rescued cats is an important part of the project too, so if you'd like to adopt or can volunteer to transport a cat, please get in contact.
