This week Michelle speaks to Aisha Hussain all about her cat
rescue mission to help the colonies of stray cats living in the UAE
with friend Evelyn, who lives in Canada. Evelyn has also been
working tirelessly to help stray cats internationally and together
they are helping so many cats. Aisha is a British teacher currently
living in the UAE with her husband. She quickly noticed a vast
local problem with sick stray cats and wanted to take action to do
something about this. So many of our fellow cat lovers and owners
often feed cats on holiday abroad and whilst this is a beautiful
sentiment there is a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
Aisha has been working hard to ensure that colonies of cats aren’t
rapidly multiplying or catching diseases, especially living in such
hot and harsh conditions. The two women aim to ensure that stray
cats are set up on a neutering program; receive health checks,
provide starving cats with food and water, and help cats find a
foster or forever home. So many cats are testing FIV and parvo
positive, which is heartbreaking. Aisha has been doing this work
alone thus far and now it’s time for us as a cat-loving community
to step up and help support. Aisha's sister called Henna has set up
a go fund me page titled ‘Feline Friends International’
https://www.gofundme.com/f/4jjs4d-feline-friends-international so
please visit the page, read what they’re doing and donate. Every
little donation helps, so please help to save a cat's life today.
