Support for the Marfa Bay Cats in Malta

Many of you have been keeping your fingers crossed for our senior boy, Kleiner. We had the feeling that something wasn't quite right, so on June 25 we took him to the vet for a thorough health check.He had an abdominal ultrasound, skull X-rays, a urine analysis, and a complete blood panel. The good news is: everything looks great! Considering his age, all of his results are completely normal.It seems that the main issue was a heavier parasite infestation than expected. After a proper deworming treatment, Kleiner is feeling much better and is now happily spending the current heatwave with us at the dive centre.Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts, encouragement, and generous donations. Your support makes it possible for us to give cats like Kleiner the care they deserve.With gratitude,Valerja, Gorden & the Marfa Bay Cats

As the year draws to a close, we would like to give you a brief look back at our 2025 with the Marfa Bay Cats – a year filled with happy moments, but also with sad goodbyes.This year, we welcomed new arrivals Maximus and Phoenix, both of whom were quickly neutered. Towards the end of the year, Saga and Loki also joined our colony. Saga appeared in November, nothing but skin and bones, and since then we have been caring for her and helping her regain her strength. Loki still needs to be trapped for his neutering, which is planned soon.Our big boss Kleiner is doing wonderfully after his major bladder stone surgery and is thoroughly enjoying his special food, which he now receives every day.We are especially proud that we were able to successfully rehome two sweet little cats abroad and personally deliver them to their new families – Fortuna found her new loving home in Germany in January and Daisy in France in July.Sadly, 2025 also brought four farewells. In February, we lost Aurora, and in October we had to say goodbye to our sweet old Aphrodite. We were also taken by surprise by the passing of little Robbie and our ever-happy Heidi. These were very difficult times for us.Despite the sadness, we look back – and ahead – with gratitude and hope. We know that we were able to give each of them the best life possible, and we continue to do so for the more than 20 cats still in our care – all thanks to your generous support.We wish you a wonderful Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.Thank you for standing by us.Valerija, Gorden and the Marfa Bay Cats 🐾

Kleiner is part of the first generation of our Scuba Cats – we have known him since 2015. He is a true veteran and an integral member of our little cat family. Recently, he was diagnosed with a large bladder stone, which we had surgically removed at the vet. Thankfully, Kleiner is recovering really well from the operation, and soon we will be able to remove his stitches. However, from now on he needs special food and medication. Of course, we will continue to take excellent care of him – and this is where your support can make a big difference. With your donation, you help Kleiner and his friends stay healthy, happy, and well cared for. Every little bit makes a huge difference!  

Our Oscar, one of the most adorable members of our cat family, was involved in a distressing altercation that left him with a severe injury to his eye. This brave little guy is now facing a tough battle to save his eye, and we are rallying all our resources to give him the care he urgently needs. With your generous support, we can provide Oscar with the specialized medical attention, surgeries, and ongoing care necessary to give him the best chance at recovery and a happy, healthy life ahead.

Recently, beautiful Aurora was diagnosed with nose cancer. We're doing everything we can to support her through this challenging time. Your donation will not only help cover Aurora's medical expenses but will also ensure we can continue providing food, veterinary care, and medication for all the cats under our care.

Das ist unser Neuzugang, Kater Frodo. Aus Tierschutzgründen habe wir ihn letzten Montag kastrieren lassen. Jetzt frisst er wieder unbeschwert mit seinen Freunden in der Marfa Bay. Die Fütterung und medizinisch Sorge um 20 plus Katzen ist mit hohen Kosten für uns verbunden. Frodo und die Marfa Bay Cats freuen sich über jede Unterstützung. Lieben Dank. This is our new addition, Frodo the cat. For animal welfare reasons, we had him neutered last Monday. Now he is eating carefree again with his friends in Marfa Bay. The feeding and medical care of 20 plus cats comes at a high cost to us. Frodo and the Scuba Cats are thankful for every support. Thank you.
