Your kindness, their future in Gennadi
Helping the cats in Gennadi matters because they are an integral part of the village experience that visitors cherish. They share our streets, squares, and quiet corners, and their well-being truly depends on the care and choices of the people around them. Without your support, life is much harder for them. With simple, compassionate actions like neutering, regular feeding, and basic medical care, these cats can live healthier, calmer lives, ensuring the village remains a pleasant, balanced place for everyone. By helping the cats, you are supporting a kinder way of living together. It’s not about changing Gennadi, but about preserving what makes it special: a sense of care, respect for animals, and a community that looks after those who depend on it.
Support Gennadi's beloved cats
If visitors could do just one thing, we’d want them to take a moment to support the cats' care in a practical way. This means understanding what helps most, and choosing to contribute to keeping the cats healthy and safe. Donations help turn good intentions into real impact by funding neutering, food, and basic medical care, ensuring the cats and the village continue to live well together. It’s a simple way for visitors to be part of something positive.
Community action, lasting impact
One of our favourite outcomes came from someone who first arrived in Gennadi as a visitor and later became a local resident. She saw firsthand how easily well-meaning people can struggle to care for multiple cats on their own. When it became clear that one local woman needed help caring for several cats, the community stepped in. Cat lovers donated items, a small stall was set up, and together we raised enough to ensure all the cats received the care they needed, from health checks to vaccinations, without anyone being overwhelmed or left alone with the problem. The result wasn’t just healthier cats. It was a sense of shared responsibility and pride.
More ways to join our cause
Many of the people who support the cats in Gennadi are visitors who return year after year. They get to know the village, recognise familiar cats, and choose to stay connected because they’ve seen the difference that simple, thoughtful care makes. Newcomers are just as welcome. Even small actions, like learning how things work, following local guidance, sharing updates, or staying in touch, help keep that care consistent and effective. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, being part of the community can be as easy as staying informed and acting responsibly. That continuity is what allows the care for the cats to work quietly in the background, long after the holiday ends.
"We arrived as visitors, but left feeling like part of a community that truly cares. Supporting catsofgennadi was the easiest and most rewarding way to give back to the village we loved."
A grateful visitor from Brussels, Belgium.
