How can you help?
Want to help but don’t know how? Here are some ways you can do it. Choose the one that is most convenient for you. Any help is welcome.
Temporary homes
Our Foundation does not have a shelter or any other place where homeless cats could be placed. That is why we really need help in the form of so-called temporary homes.
Temporary placement is a wonderful adventure and gives incredible satisfaction. We usually receive unhappy and deprived cats, which under our care discover what a full bowl and daily stroking means. The cats, who survived hunger and constant fear, very much appreciate the feeling of safety and human company. They learn to play, purr and communicate with humans. For us it is great fun and awareness that we save another cat’s life.
Temporary home is a great solution for people who need a furry friend’s company, but are not quite sure if they would like or could accept a cat on a permanent basis.
The task of the temporary home is to take pictures of the ward, if possible, post ads and report on the cat’s stay in the new place. You don’t have to be a cat expert here. You can count on our help and advice at any time.
After giving the “temporary” for adoption, we remain in contact with the new guardians and very often, in this way, great friendships are established 🙂
We encourage!

FaniMani helps foundations by providing a donation from companies for purchases made from them. You do your shopping online, it doesn’t cost you anything, there are no additional fees, and the store will transfer the donation to our foundation. All you need is a reminder or the FaniMani app.

Volunteering
Anyone can become a Foundation volunteer. Our activities are very diverse and everyone can contribute something valuable.
Volunteers take care of cats in the clinic, feed free-roaming cats and often help with catching cats for sterilization.
People who are good with computers are involved in editing our website and Facebook fanpage and are responsible for creating ads for cat adoptions and contacting potential adopters.
We still need people willing to join our actions, because only through volunteers, we can expand the scale of our activities.
We look forward to your response, initiative and ideas!
