It's finally starting
Large trailer house project
Special proxy support page
A first for the Amami Cat Club!
We're trying crowdfunding!
To date, we have been involved in various activities to solve Amami's cat problem, including protecting outdoor cats, raising awareness, and hosting events.
Finally, we have decided to fully implement our rescue activities for adult outdoor cats. To do this, we need to secure an isolation room for cats with feline AIDS and those with injuries. Therefore, we are planning to install a large trailer house on the grounds of the Cat Club headquarters.
The purpose of this initiative is not only to save the cats, but also to make Amami Oshima a better place.
Your support will be a great help. Please lend us your strength in this challenge and in taking a step towards the future.
overview
Adult cats living outdoors are highly likely to be carriers of feline AIDS, and so they need to be isolated in order to be protected. However, current facilities do not have isolation rooms, so carrier cats are kept in cages, unable to move freely and not easily accustomed to people. As awareness of the issue has spread, the number of adoptions has increased, but the adoption rate remains low compared to healthy cats, and it is difficult to keep them together, so in the current situation where there are no isolation facilities, there are still many cases where people have no choice but to give up on protecting them.
Give adult cats a chance!
From a "narrow cage" to an "expanding future"
We are currently planning to install a large trailer house on the current shelter site to create a new home for rescued cats. This will not only provide an isolation room for carrier cats, but also allow the current shelter to be used as an isolation room for injured cats with infectious diseases. As the shelter will be located facing the road, there will be more opportunities for people and cats to meet. (The current shelter is in the attic.) By introducing the trailer house, we hope to strengthen our protection system and promote adoption.
Advantages of trailer homes
Because Amami Oshima is a remote island and building materials and transportation costs are high, it is expected that it would cost more than 20 million yen to build a comparable building, but a trailer home can be kept to around 12 million yen including transportation costs, and it can also be relocated in the future. The trailer home has a sturdy steel frame, independent infrastructure, and can be towed if necessary, which increases its potential as an evacuation shelter in the event of a disaster. Another major advantage is that it can be used as an evacuation shelter where people and pets can stay together.
Future initiatives
・Increase the number of stray cats on Amami Oshima that are rescued and adopted ・Further efforts to raise awareness of proper cat care ・Serving as a pet disaster prevention awareness center and evacuation shelter ・Increase staff and build a system for sustainable activities
On this island, where there is much to protect, including nature and life, we are currently working to create a place for cats.
And your step will help make Amami a more friendly island.
This challenge began with a desire to help the future of this island.
We would appreciate your support.
