Kattens Værn

Kattens Værn is the Danish organisation devoted to stray and feral cats since 1933, based in Brøndby, in the Capital Region. Its work starts on the street: humane capture of ownerless cats, veterinary checks and neutering.

Sociable cats move to its shelters to go up for adoption, while the most feral ones, once neutered and marked, can return to their territory when the surroundings are safe. That way unwanted litters shrink without removing every animal from its environment.

The organisation keeps shelters in several Danish towns, run from its Sandager headquarters. Adopting a cat with Kattens Værn includes advice on settling animals with a street past.
