How to fix the cat issue in UAE


So I've started on a list of things that could alleviate the stray cat problems we are seeing here.

Please feel free to discuss in comments and add your thoughts too.

A joint venture between abu dhabi and dubai would be the answer. 

A joint government approved and funded cat sanctuary 

6 resident vets, 3 fully equiped surgeries and medicines.

Walled safe and spacious areas with isolation pods. 

Boarding facilities. 

Drop off facilities to discourage abandonment. 

Connected utilities

Fleet of vehicles and tnr cages, under one agency removing all the independent cat removal companys presently dumping cats 😡.

Resident groomer and facilities

An admin and business support team.

24hr rescue hot line and support team.

Government funded, means tested, salary certificate PDSA equivalent 

Licence pet ownership 

Licence breeders

One centralised adoption agency at the sanctuary

A law to actively investigate and document complaints for removal of cats. 

Clear and defined processes and procedures and transparent running of the sanctuary, with qualified and vetted industry professionals supported by anyone wishing to register as a volunteer.

Sure around 300M aed with ongoing funding for food and medical supplies would fix the issues currently highly apparent.

 The Al Falah Cats..... where to start. Day one. 3pm Thursday 28th September 2023 I had been to a known dumping site in the morning with a fabulous rescuer and we picked up Elvis. Dave got home from work at 14.30. We had a chat, had lunch and was considering where to search that evening and what other commitments we had. Our phones started pinging. The most horrify pictures were coming through. Someone had stumbled into a nightmare. Dave and I tried to find out as much information as possible before we set off. It was clear we would need to take some baskets, food and water. 30 seconds after we arrived As we arrived we saw several lifeless bodies of cats. We got out of the car in silence and went to where we could see some movement. Over a very short period of time we had 5 cats. The capacity of carriers our car could fit. Other rescuers started to arrive in the evening. The next few days blurred. Meeting with so many legendary rescuers, people from all the Emirates, cats being pul...

Cassa was rescued from a military Base, where pest control would have removed her. Cassa is a lovely, easy going spayed and vaccinated female. She will do equally well as an only cat or with others. Cassa is great with children. Cassa  will fit with any surroundings due to her easy going nature, from a single companion, or with a young family.

Not quite done yet

We're not done yet! We found Monty! An unbelievable feat considering 100 days had passed since he was cruelly taken and dumped 7km away. Plucked from his life and ours and dumped in a desolate area. He walked 2.3km. Not a bad feat for someone 5 inches tall. A lady in the search party sent a photo of him during the search. We knew immediately it was Monty. They were 3 minutes away from where we were searching. It is an understatment to say Dave and I were euphoric!  Monty was very scared, but softened once we spent some time with him. He started doing his dance which has always endeared us to him. He literally dances with joy. Needless to say it filled our hearts to have one of our boys back. Main thing is that he is healthy. My worst nightmare saw him festering with injury and wounds. Our boy. Happy feet  Physically he is A ok. Mentally he is not himself. Jumpy, twitchy in his sleep, and happy to isolate himself in the bedroom. He calls for me and Dave all the time. He just wa...
