Advocates go to high court for last minute order allowing Cats of Durban to feed feral cat colonies

Durban - There are hundreds of cats which could starve to death as they are locked into building parking areas, behind gates of commercial and private buildings and passages around the city.

Stokes, who also owns the Nine Lives Sanctuary for cats in Waterfall, went to a locked shop premises one night this week, where he knew of a friendly feral cat. “I have also been feeding cats in the Addington area of South Beach, as well as around the Bayhead area,” he said. Claassens pays for all the cat food out of his own pocket and is often involved in rescuing cats and kittens.

“The public needs to understand that cats are crucial for vermin control and these feral cat colonies keep rats under control for companies around Durban.”

Plenty of other vermin to survive on.
