WHERE THE MONEY GOES
Money raised through our fund-raising efforts and donations goes exclusively to the animals we strive to help.
The majority of our funding is spent on veterinary treatment from the standard check-up, worming, vaccinations, and medicines if necessary, to operations for those that have met with an accident or were born with a birth defect that can be righted.
A smaller, but not insignificant amount, goes towards feeding the cats on the street. Although many local people feed the street cats, the diet is sadly lacking in nutrients. We supplement the diet of these cats as well as feed those that nobody looks after, by giving them a daily helping of dried cat food. Wet cat food, which we deem as a luxury, is also fed to the cats on occasion as a treat. For details on how to make a donation please click here
We would like to point out that the cats we feed are in the SPCA’s Cat Colony Care Program and are neutered.
HOW TO MAKE A DONATION
Donations, however small, are gratefully received and go towards the needs and upkeep of homeless cats and kittens. As a non-profit Society, there are no hidden costs with all monies received going towards veterinary treatment and food. HK Alley Cat Watch is a volunteer run organisation.

To give you an idea our vet bills range from HK$200-HK$2,000 approx per cat in some cases. We have taken on a lot of intensive cases recently, so it's been very spendy for us. However we go on with our motto ("that all creatures deserve a chance"), and while we have the funds to do this, we will continue to follow this.
Please contact on [email protected] if you are able to help us with any of the above mentioned items.
Grateful thanks,
Michelle & Marian
