How do I handle the introduction of a new kitten or cat?
By: The National Cat Action Taskforce
If you’ve just adopted a kitten or an adult cat, keep your new pet strictly
indoors for at least two weeks − this is essential for its safety. Begin by
confining it to one room of your house for several days (preferably a bedroom or
other room that you use frequently).

When a cat has Feline Leukemia, his immune system will be compromised. Apart
from this, he also develops anemia and the growth of abnormal tumors. He
develops other diseases such as cancer. He will most likely live around 3.5
more years, as a majority of FeLV-infected cats do. Read More...

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
Groomer's
Goop Degreaser Gel & Liquid
Groomers Goop is the cat fancier's choice as the first step for
perfect competition grooming. It's also the answer for removing
oil, grease, gum, tar and more from your pets coat.
Groomer Goop is an enhanced reformulation of the Original Goop
Multi-Purpose Hand Cleaner that pet show pros, groomers,
breeders, and vets have been using for years. Groomer's Goop is
designed exclusively for the purpose of de-greasing the coats of
longhaired cats and dogs and removing stud tail. The non-toxic,
biodegradable, enriched formula contains glycerin, lanolin,
vitamin E and Aloe Vera for important skin conditioning. It’s
also great for cleaning and whitening paws and bib areas. It
removes tar, sap, chewing gum and blood.
How To Use Groomer's Goop Degreaser
Rub a generous amount of Groomer's Goop into the pet's dry coat.
Make sure to massage Groomer's Goop into the entire coat, head
to toe, bib area, behind the ears and anywhere else the coat is
clumped together.
Leave on for approximately five minutes in order for the product
to penetrate and remove the excess oil from the coat. Then wash
your pet with warm water and Groomer's Goop Shampoo, massaging
and rinsing your pets coat until squeaky clean.

We've received a request on behalf of about 8 feral cats in Pretoria
who cannot remain where they are since they are being abused (kicked
etc) by people in the area, and one of them apparently even landed in
someone's dinner pot. (I won't say any more, but it is horrific, I'm
afraid.)
A R50 monthly sponsorship to a kitty colony of your choice is all it
will take to keep us purrrrring! You will change our lives forever and
we’ll keep you updated every month on how we …. and most importantly
our full tummies …. are doing
Over the years, CatPals has taken on a great many ongoing projects, one of
which is the feeding of close to 1 000 cats in the streets of Pretoria and
surrounds every day, sterilising as many ferals as possible on an ongoing
basis, etc etc. As you can imagine, there are never enough funds for all these
projects (and members pay thousands of rands out of their own pockets). (See
pics of some of these projects below.)
