Mission Statement

Kotor Kitties is passionate about saving lives and reducing suffering among Montenegro's street cats by providing high-volume spay-neuter surgeries. Along with each surgery we provide vaccine and parasite control, and care for other medical needs such as hernias, avscesses, dental work, eye removal, and tail and leg amputations. We work to remove all barriers to spay-neuter, by providing free or heavily subsidized surgeries, lending traps and carriers, training people to trap feral cats, proving humane education in the community, and assisting with transportation to clinics for care. When possible we recruit volunteer foster care for short term medical or developmental needs. From our start in Kotor, we have grown to serve 6 municipalities through 4 partner clinics.We also coordinate with other animal welfare groups throughout MNE, to share resources, avoid duplication of services, and educate the community to show kindness and compassion to the community animals.

Description

Can you imagine a modern European country with that massive population of unwanted dogs and cats, but not a single spay-neuter program? Neither could we! That's why we started Kotor Kitties in 2018. Our mission is to humanely reduce the population of stray animals and improve the health of individual animals through High-QualiryHigh-Volume Spay and Neuter (HQHVSN), and a Trap-Neuter-Return program (TNR.)

From our initial goal of spaying 10 animals we've gone on to sterilize more than 12,000 cats!

Kotor Kitties is now a partnership of 3 all-volunteer organizations, operating under a memorandum of understanding: the original non-profit, registered as a 501(c)(3) in the US, a registered charity in United Kingdom, and a registered NGO in Montenegro, Kotorske Macke.

Kotor Kitties works to connect with the people of Montenegro, using community organizing strategies and techniques to unite the animal caretakers throughout the country. Our first grant, from The Pollination Project, was to create a professionally translated Montenegrin-language website: www.kotorkitties.me.
