<div>Hi, my name is Lisa Kendrick and i am fundraising to help with the rising costs of my Animal Welfare Project for strays in Mauritius. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>


<div>Why Mauritius i hear you say?


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Mauritius has an overwhelming stray issue! There are literally hundreds of thousands of strays on the island.


</div>


<div>They suffer horrendous acts of cruelty, poisoning, abandonment in remote areas such as sugar cane fields where they die long suffering deaths from starvation and dehydration.


</div>


<div>Many of the strays are in a horrendous condition, starving, full of mange, maggot wounds, injury and illness. Many are injured or brutally killed in road accidents where drivers deliberately run them over and leave them to die in agony.


</div>
<div>There are so many pregnant strays who give birth to large litters ever six months! 
</div>
<div>Owned dogs are rarely sterilised and once pregnant are abandoned either before they give birth or after with their pups. 
</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Up until earlier this year the Governments organisation approach to stray control was Catch and Kill. Since then they have reformed and are doing many sterilisation campaigns but this is for owned dogs only.


</div>


<div>Catch Neuter Release for strays is supposed to be launching this year but has not as yet and when it does it will only be for a few thousand and not mass sterilisation which is needed as the only long term solution.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>At majority of the hotels in Mauritius you will see stray dogs and cats and if you don't, that is because they have been "removed" by illegal means and euthanised!


</div>


<div>So i decided that it was time that someone tried to educate and help the hotels to approach the stray issue with compassion and care for the animals with a more sustainable approach through my Animal Welfare Project.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>In June 2022 i launched my Project and approached the hotels with my ideas!


</div>


<div>The dogs and cats cared for by 4 PAWS Rescue and Relocation International are sterilised, vaccinated, treated for ticks and fleas, vet care for any injury or illness, fed daily and given fresh drinking water (otherwise they drink from swimming pools or the sea because they are so thirsty) and wear a collar and tag. The tag gives information for tourists to contact us if any of the strays are sick or injured and also if a tourist would like to adopt overseas.


</div>


<div>All our strays have names and we run a God Parent sponsorship scheme where the dog/cat can be sponsored for their food and we have a dedicated face book group and WhatsApp for weekly updates on how the dogs/cats are doing with pictures and videos.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Currently we have 5 hotels that we collaborate with and are helping to change their approach and views on how to treat the strays at their resorts.


</div>


<div>However we have many hotels that either totally ignore our attempts to help or actively try and obstruct.


</div>


<div>BUT..............that doesn't deter me from helping the strays at these hotels!


</div>


<div>However, that means that the care for all these dogs/cats has to be paid for entirely by me personally.


</div>


<div>I have funded the project almost entirely myself for the last 12 twelve months but now i need some help, please!


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>There are more and more strays daily that need our help and without us no one would care if they lived or died!


</div>


<div>Despite many of the hotels not wanting us to help the strays, our daily presence discourages the hotels from "removing" them by illegal means!


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>The Project currently helps the hotel strays on the east coast at Belle Mare and Palmar region and public beaches. But i would like to expand our help to the villages here so we can sterilise and care for the trays there too.


</div>


<div>I would also like to expand the Project to cover the whole of the East Coast and that is why i need your help!


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>I chose the east coast as it is where i started my journey with the strays of Mauritius back in 2017 when i adopted my first Mauritian Hotel beach stray from Belle Mare to join my UK pack of 5 dogs.


</div>


<div>For the next 5 years i was part of a UK charity that supported mass sterilisation on the island as well as re homing of needy strays overseas. I also adopted 2 more strays and fostered many more.


</div>


<div>In my time with the charity i helped to re home over 900 strays to the UK, Europe and further afield.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>In 2022 i left the charity and set up my own Non profit C.I.C Registration Number 13801641 and launched the Animal Welfare Project Mauritius to concentrate on improving the lives on the strays on the island beaches.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>During the 1st 12 months we have had great success with over 200 dogs and 40 cats sterilised.


</div>


<div>74 dogs and 4 cats adopted by tourists overseas. These costs are covered by the tourists themselves.


</div>


<div>From time to time we have special cases like Foxy and her 3 pups rescued from the public beach. Will and Grace rescued from an old lady that had let them get into an horrendous condition that we cannot return to the beach for their own safety and these will come to the UK to a sanctuary and i have to cover the cost of this myself.
