Twinkle is a small UK registered charity dedicated to helping feral or neglected cats of Fuerteventura. We try to relieve the suffering and ensure the well being of stray and abandoned cats. Our primary role is to humanely manage the feral cat population through treatment and sterilisation. Since 1995 Twinkle has travelled to Fuerteventura, twice a year to carry out neutering campaigns to help the stray and abandoned cats.Twinkle volunteers carry out the sterilisation program from our farmhouse, which is based in the small village of Los Estancos, in the north east of the island. From here the dedicated team of cat catchers travel all over the island thus ensuring that we help in as many locations as possible. All of us are volunteers and as such are unpaid but we do what we do because we have a respect and love for animals and we know that each of us can make a big difference to every cat we can reach. Special thanks go to Sr. Fermin Silvera Perera, and the rest of the management and staff from "Turicomplex" who have helped and supported Twinkle from the very first trip in 1995.
OUR CAT CAFE'S As well as helping the stray cats by sterilising them we also install 'cat cafés' in as many locations as possible. This ensures the cats have a supply of fresh food and water, which means they don't have to raid the bins looking for food or try and enter the apartments of holiday makers and upset the guest or the hotel management. |
