We now have just over two weeks left to save Nairobi Feline Sanctuary (NFS) and their 600 cats!
Phase 1 has officially been completed, and the land is ready for construction. Thanks to your incredible generosity, we have already sent funds to kick-start the building process. But without your continued support, the future of these cats remains uncertain.
We are SO CLOSE to reaching our goal. The progress we have made so far is all thanks to you. Please continue to stand with us and help complete the sanctuary in time to provide these cats with the haven they so desperately need.

After months of severe financial turmoil, NFS reached a point where it could pay the rent or continue feeding and caring for their 600+ cats. True to their mission as animal-lovers, NFS chose to put the cats first, even though it meant falling behind on rent.
Tragically, after missing payments for several months, they were served an eviction notice, informing the sanctuary to vacate the premises by mid-February.
We secured an extension from the landlord by paying outstanding rent and covering the lease until the end of March, buying us valuable time to save the sanctuary AND the cats. But once these funds run out, the team still won’t be able to cover rent and food, medicine and care for over 600 cats.
We have a sustainable, long-term solution to save the sanctuary and the cats – but we can’t make it happen without your help.
NFS has identified a property that would make an ideal permanent home for the animals, but they need our help to build up the facilities and make the move.
We have just over two weeks left to help build critical structures on the new property, providing a safe home for over 600 cats rescued from Kenya’s streets.

NFS is the only no-kill animal shelter dedicated to domestic cats in Kenya. Since 2020, founder Rachel Kabue has rescued hundreds of sick, injured, elderly and disabled street cats who would never have a chance of finding a loving forever home anywhere else.
In a country where few can afford to look after disabled animals, the sanctuary is a lifeline for cats in need of specialized care.
Without this sanctuary, 600+ cats have nowhere else to go.
For cats, life on the streets of Nairobi is perilously dangerous, and without this sanctuary, the cats are almost certain to meet a brutal and painful end.
Rachel and her team at NFS are doing so much for the animals with so little. They have never turned away a single cat in need, and what started as one rescued cat has grown into a haven that has saved the lives of more than 600 who would have died without their help.

We cannot let these cats down now, after all they have endured and survived.
With just over two weeks to build a new shelter, we must start as soon as possible.
Your generosity can help us save 600 cats today!
We must leap into action to rebuild the sanctuary on the new property, preventing the cats from being condemned back to a life of misery and suffering on the streets. Any support you can give will bring us one step closer to saving the sanctuary and ensuring the survival of over 600 cats.
