My name is Annita Hendriks, better known as The Cat Samaritan. I am a private individual that voluntarily started the journey of finding homes for the kitties of people emigrating, moving into complexes where animals are not permitted, abandoned in complexes, found on construction sites, depos & office parks, with financial problems, allergies, etc.
With the assistance of a network of people who feel the same as I do and friends, I have managed to re-home the kitties and make sure that they settle well into their new homes. I rely on a group of people who foster kitties for me when I am not able to foster them myself. Local VETS are making it possible for me to make sure that each cat and kitten I re-home has been vaccinated and sterilised if old enough, as well as treating the sick kitties before they are re-homed. I have been able to lean on them for major discounts and medical advice at any time of the day or night, as I do not charge people to whom the kitties are going and supply them with a starter kit of what the kitties are used to. I rely solely on donations. I have turned my house into a paradise for the kitties, so that they can recuperate if necessary and so I can socialise them with other kitties, as many go into homes that already have other pets. I try and make it a comfortable and loving home for them, even if it is just temporary. In most cases I deliver the kitties myself. The new owners are given a document that assists them with settling in the new addition, as well as an adoption form that they have to sign confirming that the kitty or kitties will be returned to me if necessary. |
