Street Cats
I’ve seen an animal that needs help. What should I do? Unfortunately we cannot attend to every animal, as much as we’d like to. All the LUNI Lombok team give every spare minute they have, and we don’t have the resources to go searching for every animal, especially as they may have left the area before we arrive. .If you are able to donate towards our trapping, transportation and veterinary work, that would be a great help! Please help the animal yourself if you can, such as providing them with food and drink, or covering them and bringing them to our vet clinic if necessary. If you have found very small kittens, please take them home and keep them warm as even a few hours can make the difference to their survival. You can call us for advice, and we may be able to help find the animal foster care if appropriate. I found an unsterilized street cat, what should I do? If you are able to handle the cat yourself please help us out and take the cat to our vet clinic we work with. If the cat is feral and you are unable to handle it, please contact us for help. We’ll need to know details such as where you saw the cat(s) or kittens, how many there are, whether you feed them regularly etc.

Why don’t you advise taking in feral cats or kittens? If kittens aren’t socialised and handled often between 8-12 weeks they will usually become feral and almost impossible to tame or live happily with people in a home environment, sadly. We also believe that cats who are accustomed to life on the street should not be confined in our homes and forced to be pets. This can create stress for them and a range of behavioral problems which are not pleasant for either the cat or yourself. We therefore try to care for street cats on their streets ,providing them with medical care and food. on the streets with our responsible feeders who feed daily and help with medical problems.
