Hey there, fellow cat lovers and adventure seekers!

Let’s say you’ve just arrived in the stunning archipelago of Malta, ready to soak up the sun and explore its vast history. But wait, what’s that? A furry friend greets you with a meow and a playful twirl around your legs! That’s right – you might receive a warm welcome from one of our friendly street cats here in Malta.

Like many Mediterranean islands, Malta and Gozo are home to a thriving population of outdoor felines. But fear not, dear readers; many of these precious creatures are not left to fend for themselves. Oh no, they have an army of dedicated volunteers rallying together to ensure they lead the best lives possible.

One such superhero is Michelle Barbara, the heart and soul behind Zejtun Stray Cats. Since its inception, Michelle and her compassionate network and few generous sponsors have gone above and beyond to help hundreds of cats.

Michelle passionately emphasises the importance of neutering to control the cat population and prevent unnecessary suffering and disease. Neutered cats in Malta proudly sport a distinctive notch in their ears, marking them as champions in the fight for feline welfare. And it doesn’t stop there – injured cats find solace in Michelle’s care as well as her network of volunteers, receiving the love and attention they need to heal.

But wait, there’s more heartwarming news! Lost pets find their way back home, thanks to the power of social media and the unwavering dedication of Zejtun Stray Cats. One lucky kitty embarked on a journey across the village, only to be reunited with its owner, all thanks to the vigilant eyes of the local online community.

Now, here’s where you come in. If you’re feeling inspired to make a difference, consider supporting Zejtun Stray Cats or opening your heart and home to a furry companion in need. Every gesture, big or small, brings the group one step closer to ensuring every cat in Malta receives the love and care they deserve.

And hey, if you happen to spot a sick or injured cat during your stay in Malta, don’t hesitate to call Animal Welfare on 1717, and in Zejtun do not hesitate to reach out to Zejtun Stray Cats. Together, we can make a paw-sitive impact on the lives of our feline friends.
