About us (Welcome to CCC!)
We are a Non-Profit Organization called CCC,
which is short for Community Cat Care.
Our philosophy lies in the idea that all humans should respect and help all beings on this planet, as other’s life is part of our life; it is oneness.
We started this volunteer-run NPO activities in Yomitan-son, Okinawa in order to create a better community for both habitants & cats.
Any cats must not be euthanized at Authority’s shelter. We aim to neuter, rescue, rehabilitate & rehome. Also raise an awareness on cat welfare. Zero-euthanized but humanely reduce stray cat population is our ultimate goal.
CCC has only volunteers, which have their own full-time jobs, but are dedicated in making a difference.
Our 4 main activities
About TNR
We aim to reduce the population of stray cat by Trap, Neuter, and Return ( TNR ) procedures.
It is said that a single cat can bear 30 kittens in one year.
In 2 years, that’s over 80 kittens, and in 3 years, that can lead to over 2,000 kittens.
We capture stray cats, neuter or spay them and then return them to the community where we continue to care for them as “local cats”.
The trapped cats are taken swiftly to a veterinary surgery to be neutered. Also, they receive an ear-tip under anesthetic. It signifies that they have been “ TNRed ”and prevent the same cat being trapped for neutering in future. After the surgery, the cats will be returned back to their territory.
We continue to monitor them as “Community cared Cats” for signs of illness or injury and take action.
Stray cats become the Community cared cats (TNR, monitored / caretaken by area habitants) then become the House cats /pets
Q&A
- How does TNR make a difference?
- The number of strays cat decline. It reduce mating calls, smell of feces・urine and less fighting・accidents as well.
- Irresponsible feeding is Annoying. Is it necessary to care of them?
- Through proper care such as cleaning up after feeding and removing cat’s waste, we can avoid problems. It helps to build an eco・life-friendly community.
We Need Your Support
We are a 100% volunteer-run organization that relies on donations, our work relies heavily on the generosity of people like you.
The processes of TNR, veterinary consultation, foster care, and more are costly. The neutering /sterilization at the veterinary collaborating with us is around 10,000 yen ($100) per cat.
In 2019 alone, we conducted TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) for 130 stray cats and found a forever home for 30 rescued cats.
In Yomitan village, we received 140 consultations and complaints regarding stray cats. They often end up as neighborhood troubles.
The minimal medical treatments* for every newly rescued cat sums up to about 5,000-8,000 yen ($50-80). * Necessary vaccines, stool-virus test, parasite, fleas, and ticks’ removal, etc.
In addition, food, hygiene, and pharmacy products are also to be considered during the recovery period.
