About Us

Who We Are

Cats of BGC is a dedicated group of volunteers โ€” residents and office workers in Bonifacio Global City โ€” who independently and voluntarily care for the community cats in the area. We are not an animal shelter. We are everyday cat lovers who feed, monitor, TNVR, and find homes for BGC's beloved feline residents.

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

Daily Feeding

Volunteers are assigned to feeding stations across BGC and feed the community cats daily, monitoring their health and watching for new arrivals that need TNVR.

๐Ÿฅ

Medical Care

We pay for vet visits, vaccinations, deworming, flea treatments, and emergency care. Cats with chronic conditions receive ongoing medication and monitoring.

๐Ÿค

Partnerships

We collaborate with CARA Welfare Philippines, Biyaya Animal Care, and local vet clinics for TNVR efforts and the best possible care.

TNVR Program

Trap, Neuter,
Vaccinate, Return

TNVR is the most humane and scientifically proven method to manage community cat populations. Instead of removing cats โ€” which creates a vacuum that attracts new cats โ€” TNVR stabilizes colonies, improves cat health, and gradually reduces numbers over time.

T

Trap

Community cats are humanely trapped using baited humane traps. Feeders identify new, un-neutered cats during their daily rounds.

N

Neuter

Cats are spayed (females) or neutered (males) by licensed veterinarians. The surgery is quick, usually under 30 minutes.

V

Vaccinate

While under anesthetic, cats receive rabies vaccinations and other necessary shots, protecting both cats and the community.

R

Return

After 2โ€“3 days of recovery, cats are returned to their original territory. An ear tip marks them as neutered and vaccinated.

Fund TNVR

Why TNVR Works

Stops the breeding cycle. A single unspayed female can produce up to 3 litters per year. TNVR halts exponential growth.

Reduces nuisance behaviors. Neutered cats are less likely to fight, spray, howl, or roam aggressively.

Prevents the vacuum effect. Removing cats only creates space for new, unvaccinated cats to move in and breed.

Natural rodent control. Community cats keep the rat population in check โ€” vital in urban areas like BGC.

Public health protection. Vaccinated colonies prevent rabies spread, protecting humans and animals.

How to Identify TNVR Cats

Look for a small notch or "tip" on one ear. The right ear indicates a spayed female; the left ear indicates a neutered male. This is done painlessly while under anesthetic.

Feeder Quick Facts

โฐ

Time Commitment

Roughly 1โ€“2 hours per week, depending on your assigned area and number of cats.

๐Ÿ“

Area Assignment

You'll be assigned to a feeding station. Cats are territorial, so stations are organized by their preferred territory.

๐Ÿ”

Health Monitoring

During feeding, observe and report each cat's condition โ€” weight changes, injuries, new arrivals.

๐Ÿ†•

Spotting New Cats

Feeders identify un-neutered cats (no ear tip) for TNVR scheduling โ€” critical for population control.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Purely Voluntary

Unpaid volunteer work. Volunteers may need to purchase cat food and other feeding supplies.

Volunteer Feeding

Become a Feeder

Our volunteer feeding program is the backbone of everything we do. Feeders are our eyes and ears on the ground โ€” they don't just provide food, they monitor each cat's health and flag concerns needing vet attention.

It's a small time investment with huge impact โ€” many feeders find it a rewarding break from screen time and a great way to connect with fellow cat lovers. Whether you're a BGC resident, office worker, or just someone who loves cats, there's a place for you in the program.

"It has been a very fulfilling journey."

Our Story

Resilience & Compassion

What started as a few cat lovers in BGC grew into a coordinated volunteer group operating independently to help the feline residents of Bonifacio Global City. The group partners with CARA Welfare Philippines and Biyaya Animal Care to conduct TNVR missions, coordinate feedings, and facilitate adoptions.

In February 2018, the group faced its biggest challenge when dozens of community cats were removed from the High Street park area. The incident made national headlines and sparked massive public outcry. CARA and Cats of BGC worked tirelessly to locate the displaced cats and ensure the remaining colony's safety.

Since then, the community has only grown stronger. Feeding routes have expanded, TNVR missions continue regularly, and the group has successfully rehomed hundreds of cats. Despite ongoing challenges, the volunteers persist โ€” driven by love and the belief that every cat deserves compassion.

Did you know?

Under Philippine law (RA 10631, amendments to RA 8485 Animal Welfare Act), it is unlawful to abandon an animal. If you can no longer care for a pet, please rehome responsibly โ€” ask friends, family, or colleagues, post on social media, or join Facebook rehoming groups to find a loving new home.
