Street Cats of Vis : Helping People Help Cats

Street cats from anywhere on the island of Vis can be spayed and neutered for free. We rely on donations for everything else: exams, medications, fostering and adoption expenses, food, and equipment to help us save lives.

We really appreciate your support!

Lavi needs your help!

Lavi was living next to workers’ accomodation at the school. We’d received many calls to help him, and finally, after several attempts, we caught him. We had him sterilized, had his wounds stitched up, then kept him with us for recovery and further monitoring.

We’ve noticed several concerns for his health, including a rapidly growing lump on his leg, but we have no money at the moment and are in debt to the vet.

Although fearful at first, Lavi is a sweet and cuddly cat once you earn his trust. He deserves a chance at a good life after so many hard years on the street. Can you please help us help him?

Please donate.

We met Ginnji early in 2020, when he was already a

We met Ginnji early in 2020, when he was already a young adult. He's always been friendly, so we assume he had good contact with humans before being abandoned amidst all the island's trash at the open-air dump known as Wellington.

Ginnji knew the dump well, and thrived there with our help in spite of danger from rockslides, big trucks barrelling through, as well as last summer's fire and the smoldering aftermath.

The one danger he wasn't able to escape was the sick human who shot him for fun.

Poor Ginnji greeted us one day at feeding time, limping badly. His front left leg was useless, flopping around like a rag. We quickly got him into a transporter and to the safety of the cathouse, where we cared for him and gave him pain relief until we were able to get him to a vet. X-rays confirmed that his leg was broken, but revealed something sinister: he'd been shot! We were in shock at this news, and heartbroken. The bones were badly splintered, and the vet recommended amputation.

We're especially sad about this because Ginnji had been at the top of our list of cats to move out of Wellington and into the cathouse to prepare for adoption. Our shelter space is extremely limited, and people willing and able to volunteer their time and spacefor fostering are extremely hard to find, so this didn't happen in time for poor Ginnji. He's lucky to be alive and finally out of the dump, but he faces a long road to recovery.

We also had an FIV test done while he was at the vet's, and as suspected, he's FIV positive.

Can you help us push back against human cruelty by donating to Ginnji's ongoing expenses? His recovery will take time, but we're committed to seeing him through and finding him the loving home he deserves after so many years living in such horrific conditions.

Honey (formerly Hunni) was found at the dump in late August, 2024. She was dumped there after the fire, and after a few attempts, we were able to catch her and bring her into our care. She’s a cuddly, lovable cat who would be perfect as an indoor pet. Would you like to give this sweetie a home?

Šime (the Dalmatian equivalent of Simon) was aban

Šime (the Dalmatian equivalent of Simon) was abandoned at the end of tourist season. We don’t know anything about his past, but he’s completely dependent on people and we doubt he would do well on his own. He’s calm and initially reserved, but once he gets to know you, he becomes very affectionate. Very sensitive and sensual, all he wants to do is lie next to his human or another cat.

Šime knows how to use a litterbox and could live entirely indoors if necessary, but he loves to be outdoors too, exploring the neighbourhood. If you’re looking for a loving companion, Šime could be the perfect cat for you.

– date of birth: August 2023
– taken in: September 2024
– sterilized / microchipped
– good with other cats
– indoor-outdoor

Malika was found abandoned at the dump with her kittens. We suspect this wasn’t her first litter, and are appalled that people can throw cats out like garbage.

Thankfully, Malika and her kittens thrived in our care and are now ready for forever homes!

Photos show Malika when we took her in, and more recently.

– FIV negative

Gabbi was abandoned in the trash at the Vis open-a

Gabbi was abandoned in the trash at the Vis open-air dump. On the very first day we saw her, we noticed how friendly she was and took her out of there immediately. This is why monitoring colonies is useful: you can spot the newcomers.

After a short period in quarantine during which she was sterilized and vaccinated, she was able to join the colony on our land, where she’s lived ever since. Because she’s used to having unlimited space to roam, we hope she can find a home with a big, safe yard.

She can seem a bit wary at first because she’s been bullied by a couple other cats in the colony, but once she gets to know you she’ll give you cuddles galore! Gabbi’s a lover, not a fighter. Would you like to give her a forever home?

– possibly good with kids and dogs

We first saw Liv begging for food outside a superm

We first saw Liv begging for food outside a supermarket in Komiža. She was very underweight, missing most of her fur, and had a severe upper respiratory infection. Several local people tried to help her with antibiotics and by ensuring she had plenty of water available, as they realised she needed to drink a lot.

Despite all their efforts, she was still struggling to survive on the street. We brought her in and took her to the vet, where it was discovered she had FIV as well as a kidney problem, which has been treated. She also has a heart murmur and an enlarged heart. In spite of all this, she’s not showing any signs of ill health. She still needs to drink a lot, but her blood test results are normal. Once she’s chosen for adoption, we’ll check the blood results again and do ultrasound and x-rays to check her current condition.

Liv is healthy, playful, quiet, and gentle, and gets along well with other cats. Could you make space for her in your heart and home?
