At Catholic Concern for Animals – Cameroon (CCA-Cam), we are dedicated to improving the lives of animals through a variety of targeted initiatives. Our programs are designed to address the pressing issues of animal cruelty, neglect, and the need for education in communities. Here are some of our key animal welfare initiatives:
1. Rescue and Rehabilitation
We actively rescue animals that are abandoned, abused, or in distress, providing them with the necessary care and rehabilitation. Our team works tirelessly to ensure that these animals receive the medical attention they need and are placed in loving homes whenever possible.
Key Activities:
- Emergency rescue operations for injured or abused animals.
- Provision of veterinary care, including vaccinations and treatments.
- Rehabilitation programs that prepare animals for adoption.
2. Spay and Neuter Programs
To combat overpopulation and reduce the number of abandoned animals, we conduct spay and neuter campaigns in our community. These programs help control the pet population and prevent the suffering of animals that may be abandoned due to overpopulation.
Key Activities:
- Organizing free or low-cost spay and neuter clinics.
- Educating pet owners on the benefits of spaying and neutering.
- Collaborating with veterinarians to provide these essential services.

Education is key to preventing animal cruelty and promoting responsible pet ownership. Our outreach programs aim to educate community members about the importance of treating animals with kindness and respect.
Key Activities:
