WHY WE ARE NECESSARY

 GambiCats started working with cats in The Gambia, West Africa, in 1998 and became a UK Registered Charity in 1999. Our objectives are to encourage neutering, and help improve the welfare of the cats and dogs.

 The programme started as a response to the poor conditions of many of the cats in the hotels and the methods being used to control their numbers. These included poisoning, and dumping cats in the countryside after catching them in nets. These methods were both inhumane and ineffective.
