About this project

Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. Wadgassen from Verein der Katzenfreunde.V. Wadgassen - Katzenhaus is responsible for this project
A home for hope - cat shelter for felines suffering from FIP
FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis) is a dangerous disease that is often fatal. Thanks to new treatment methods, however, there is hope for affected cats. The association Katzenfreunde Wadgassen would like to adapt part of the cat house in Oberwürzbach for the care of these animals.
Our goal: A safe place for FIP cats
In the adapted area, sick cats will find a protected retreat during their treatment and recovery. At the same time, we want to encourage cat owners and show them that this disease no longer has to be the final judgement.
Who do we help?
Our project is aimed at cats with FIP and their owners, who are often overwhelmed. Many are unable to cope with the intensive care or the special spatial requirements on their own.

How are we realising the project?
- Conversion of the cat house: Adaptation of an existing area to create hygienic and optimal conditions for the care of FIP cats.
- Care and support: Volunteer members lovingly look after the animals on a daily basis.
- Co-operation with vets: Close co-operation with experts to ensure the best medical care.
- Education and counselling: Support for affected cat owners by providing information and assistance.
What do we need donations for?
- Remodelling and equipping the cat house (e.g. floors, lying areas, enclosure)
- Purchase of care utensils and medical equipment
- Covering running costs such as food, litter and hygiene products
- Support with treatment costs for financially burdened owners

Who is behind the project?
The Katzenfreunde Wadgassen association has been committed to the welfare of cats in need for many years. Our helpers contribute their experience and passion on a voluntary basis.
Timetable
With your support, we would like to adapt the cat house as quickly as possible. The renovation is scheduled to start in spring 2025 so that the first FIP cats can move in before the end of the first half of the year.
Why is your support so important?
Every donation helps us to give cats with FIP a second chance. Together we can give hope where there is often despair. Support our project - for a better life for velvet paws suffering from FIP.
