Cat Shelter “Purr-fecting” Action貓舍清潔大行動

Hong Kong is home to thousands of stay and abandoned cats on the street. Fortunately, some get rescued by the HK Saving Cat and Dog Association. With this service opportunity, you can visit their shelter in Tsuen Wan, where you will help feed the cats and support their regular cleaning. Join us to gain insight into the association's work and challenges they face. Most importantly, you'll have the chance to show your care and love to these rescued cats!

香港人多擠逼，同時亦住著成千上萬的流浪貓，更有市民遺棄的小動物，當中有不少受傷貓隻，有一部分有幸得到香港拯救貓狗協會援救，提供糧食、醫療、絕育及領養等服務。你會到協會位於荃灣的貓舍，協助清潔貓舍和貓籠、餵飼貓隻，藉此了解協會的工作及所面對的挑戰。
