Charity profile

Cat Trapping and Sterilisation Network (CTSN) was formed for the aim of trapping, sterilizing and re-releasing of feral and stray cats as an alternative method of controlling the population explosion of feral cats in the greater Cape Town area.

CTSN was founded in response to a need for help in caring for and controlling the populations of the numerous feral cat colonies in the area using sterilization, which is more effective and more humane than euthanasia.

CTSN only traps and sterilises feral and stray cats. Cats are returned to their colonies or the environment in which they have been trapped or picked up. Feral kittens are trapped, sterilised and returned, tame kittens are removed, bathed, dewormed and homed.

CTSN are also involved in feral cat colony management, i.e. making sure that feral cats are looked after post sterilisation.

CTSN does not remove, treat and rehome feral or stray cats. They have no kenneling facilities available and all funds raised are used for sterilisations only.

Sick or injured ferals are euthanased after discussion with Veterinarian.
