What Your Adoption Funds

Monthly adoptions are pooled into WARN's community cat programmes and granted to vetted in-country partners.

🐈

Sterilisation

Neutering community cats is the most effective way to reduce suffering and overpopulation. Your adoption helps fund clinic slots for multiple cats.

💉

Vaccination & Triage

Stray cats often arrive injured or diseased. Your gift covers vaccinations, parasite treatment and emergency veterinary care.

🛡️

Trade Rescue

In some regions cats face capture for the meat trade. Your adoption supports rescue, quarantine and safe placement through WARN partners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I adopt a cat to take home?
WARN symbolic cat adoptions do not place a pet in your home. They fund community cat welfare abroad — sterilisation, vaccination and emergency care. If you want a cat to rehome locally, contact a registered rescue in your area.
What does adopting a cat through WARN fund?
Your monthly adoption is pooled into WARN's community cat and anti-cruelty programmes, with Indonesia and Malaysia as the current in-network focus and Vietnam/Cambodia retained as educational dog and cat meat trade context.
Why adopt a cat symbolically?
Symbolic adoption lets supporters help stray and community cats abroad when they cannot take on another pet at home.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Email [email protected] and we will cancel your monthly adoption within two working days, with no penalty.
