About Us

Street Cats of Vis was founded in June 2018 by designer / artist Little Shiva; she was joined by Francesca Walker (now Perić) in August 2019. Francesca works for the SPCA NZ and has volunteered for their National Rescue Unit, which specializes in technical animal rescue (dogs off cliffs, large animals, animals trapped in dangerous confined spaces). In 2024, we finally became an udruga (non-profit organization): you can find the details here.

We’re grateful for all the people who have contributed to caring for the street cats of Vis and look forward to meeting others who are passionate and want to get involved. Contact us to find out about our voluntourism opportunities, which range from helping us in town while on vacation, colony feeding if you have wheels, or spending a month in the Earth Garden Tiny House as a cat caretaker for our cushiest colony!

About YOU!

Animal Friends Croatia

Luka Oman of Animal Friends Croatia wrote this letter to the mayor of Vis in 2014. A Vis vet clinic had been promised for years, and finally opened on May 12, 2021. They’re not open full-time yet, but it’s better than nothing.
