Rescue of the Week: Sandpaper Kisses
Sandpaper Kisses
Sandpaper Kisses Feral Cats is a registered non-profit and public benefit organisation focused on the welfare of feral cats in the Centurion area.
Founded in 2013, the organisation focuses on managing and improving the lives of established feral-cat colonies rather than operating as a traditional shelter.
A major part of its work is Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR). Cats are humanely trapped, sterilised and returned to their colonies, helping prevent uncontrolled breeding while allowing stable colonies to remain in familiar territory.
Sandpaper Kisses also supports feeding stations, veterinary assistance, colony care and public education. Their approach recognises that long-term feral-cat welfare depends on consistent practical support and responsible population management.
Why We Featured Sandpaper Kisses
Every rescue partner has its own story, challenges and area of focus. These are a few of the reasons this organisation earned its week in the spotlight.
Feral Cats Matter
Feral cats are often overlooked because they do not fit the traditional shelter-and-adoption model, yet they still need food, veterinary support and protection.
TNR With Purpose
Trap, Neuter, Return helps stabilise colonies and reduces the number of kittens born into difficult conditions.
Education & Guidance
The organisation shares practical guidance with schools, businesses and communities on feeding, colony safety and responsible feral-cat care.
How You Can Help
There are several ways to support the work beyond simply reading their story.
Support Feeding Stations
Food is an ongoing need when hundreds of community and feral cats rely on regular feeding.
Volunteer
Volunteers can help with practical tasks, fundraising and the many behind-the-scenes jobs needed to keep outreach work going.
Share Their Work
Sharing TNR information and fundraising initiatives helps build understanding of humane feral-cat management.
