    Unfortunately, in Chile and much of Latin America, animal life is not half as valuable as in developed countries. Despite the constant improvement of the situation in recent years, there is a huge lack of professional implementation in dealing with the many hundreds of thousands of animals that are abandoned to live on the street. Throughout Chile, the cityscapes are characterized by countless street dogs and cats.

    Fortunately, there are a few charities that take care of animals that have suffered extreme abuse, malnutrition, diseases or violence. One of these wonderful charities is our volunteer project. Founded in 2010, this NGO is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of stray cats in Santiago, giving cat lovers the opportunity to support the shelter with love and attention to pets in need. The shelter provides veterinarian care and a warm home to neglected and abused cats. In addition, the project regularly organizes adoption events for the nearly 200 cats in the shelter.

    Most cats that live in the cat house are rescued from the street, only a small number are brought in from households because of not species-appropriate husbandry. Some cats are pregnant and need a safe environment to give birth, care for, feed and educate their offspring. Others are sick, malnourished or seriously injured because of abuse or by years of stray on the street. Once sheltered, the cats get regularly food, water, vaccine, socialization program (with other cats and humans), vaccines and veterinary care. In addition, veterinary treatment including sterilization is provided. The charity depends on donations and is happy about every committed animal lover who wants to become a volunteer to give these cats a better life.

    Giornata tipica

    You are important! The cat refuge would not exist without the help of volunteers. They are important to keeping the project alive and to care for the current cat population at the shelter (about 200!), feed, clean, play and to prepare adoption processes. Unfortunately, there are only a few initiatives in Chile that deal with street cats. If you love cats and want to help them, then this is your chance!

    Your help is needed in various areas, such as:

    • Feeding the cats
    • Cleaning blankets and cat beds
    • Cleaning and maintenance of cages and premises
    • Cleaning and refill feeding bowls
    • Cleaning litter boxes
    • Administrative tasks
    • Accompanying veterinary treatments (not possible for all volunteers)
    • Helping with adoption processing (not always possible)

    In this volunteer project, you have the opportunity to work up close with cats and to improve their living conditions. Your support makes all the difference and helps to rehabilitate the street cats, give them a new home and a make life outside the street possible for them. Your activities will change the behavior, the health and the life situation of the cats sustainably and at best enable them to find a loving home.

    You do not have to be a cat expert to participate in this volunteer program. Your motivation and a positive attitude are enough! These furry and cute strays depend on the support of us.


    Note: The tasks may vary. They depend on factors such as number of volunteers, weather, season, current needs of the project, as well as self-motivation. Not every volunteer may be fully involved in all these tasks.
