Not every animal in need lives behind the fence of a shelter.

Many roam the streets, hiding under staircases, bushes, and parked cars — invisible to most, but not to us.

That’s why this spring, Shelterica launched a grassroots campaign focused on helping free-roaming urban cats in Kraków, Leipzig, and Berlin.

Two-fold Mission: Sterilize & Support

Our approach is simple but effective:

1. Feed street cats regularly and build trust.

2. Neuter/Spay them to prevent overpopulation.

3. Provide medical care when needed.

4. Return or rehome, depending on the animal’s condition and sociability.
   

“Sterilization is kindness. It stops the cycle of suffering before it starts.”
— Kasia, Shelterica volunteer

What We've Done So Far:

• Set up over 15 feeding stations in hidden courtyards and alleyways across Wrocław and Leipzig

• Worked with local vets to neuter/spay 12 cats in just 3 weeks

• Provided flea treatment and basic care for injured strays

• Partnered with small rescue groups to rehome the most socialized individuals

What We Use Your Support For:

• High-protein wet food

• Feeding station materials (insulated boxes, bowls, waterproof coverings)

• Traps and transport crates for safe sterilization

• Medical procedures

• Local vet partnerships

Why It Matters

Urban cats live short, hard lives. Most are born outside, most never get touched, and many suffer needlessly.

We believe these animals deserve better — even if they never make it into a home.
