Right now, on the streets of Souk El Arbaa, Morocco, cats are fighting to survive hour by hour.
They are not waiting for a better season. They are not waiting for a long-term solution.

They are waiting for food today, medication today, and someone to come back before it is too late.For many of them, that someone is Association Zina.

Every single day, this small, exhausted team walks the streets feeding hungry cats, searching for the ones who did not appear yesterday, and checking on the sick who are trying to heal in the open. A cat missing from a feeding point is not a coincidence. It is often a sign that something has gone terribly wrong.

Cats are at the heart of everything they do.

They arrange sterilizations to stop suffering before it multiplies. They rush injured cats for urgent treatment when time still allows. They return again and again to the same streets to deliver medication to cats recovering outdoors—on pavements, behind shops, under cars—where heat, infection, and human cruelty make survival uncertain.

There is no shelter to take them to.

There is no safe room where wounds can heal in peace.

Without a protected recovery space, sick cats must fight to survive while healing. Treatments are harder to complete. Missed doses can undo weeks of effort. One setback can mean losing a cat that was just beginning to recover. Every delay increases the risk.

And still, the team does not stop.

They stretch food until there is almost nothing left. They make impossible decisions about which emergency can be handled today and which must wait. They keep going because walking away would mean certain suffering for cats who have no other help.

Animals First Aid is stepping in because this moment is critical.

As our global support continues to grow, it allows us to act now — not after another cat is lost, not after feeding stops, not after treatment is cut short. This partnership with Association Zina reflects the same quiet crisis we have seen with partners like You Can Save Me: rescuers carrying the weight alone, saving cats the world has abandoned, with urgency pressing in from every side.

What is needed right now is immediate support.

• Support to keep feeding from stopping.
• Support to ensure treatments are completed, not abandoned halfway.
• Support to continue sterilizations so today’s suffering does not multiply tomorrow.

Even a single contribution can mean the difference between a cat recovering or disappearing unnoticed.

And the need goes deeper still.

Association Zina’s most urgent dream is painfully simple: a small, safe place where sick and injured cats can complete treatment, rest, and heal without fear. Until that becomes possible, the streets remain their clinic, their shelter, and their battleground.

Right now, these cats cannot wait for better circumstances.

They are depending on what happens next.

Because of you, Animals First Aid can ensure someone comes back tomorrow with food and medicine.

Because of you, treatment continues instead of stopping halfway.

Because of you, cats who would otherwise be lost are still alive today.

This is not a future problem. It is happening now.

And lives depend on immediate action.
