Our Team

Who are we today?

Green Cats is a non-governmental organization, established in 2020, dedicated to the protection of animals, with an exclusive focus on the protection of cats. Throughout the year, we provide free or low-cost sterilizations in Cluj-Napoca, Florești, Aiton and Turda - through partner offices - because we understand that the only method of preventing abandonment and reducing the overwhelming number of street cats, is sterilization!

We constantly care for 40-60 cats and, when resources allow, we get involved in taking on serious cases, whether it's an adult cat, a kitten or a senior cat. For situations where we cannot take over, we offer to financially support the necessary medical interventions.

We are not a shelter nor do we support such sites, understanding that a good life for a cat does not is in a cage or with dozens of others, but is in a home with loving and empathetic people, where they are considered family members. Thus, this takeover-adoption process is carried out with the involvement of dedicated foster parents, without whose help we would not be able to complete our mission.

However, we have a rented space for cats that need a rehabilitation period or a treatment plan proposed by veterinarians, where they wait for their foster homes. We are committed to providing the cats in our care with a quality space, where we can show them the love they deserve through respect, care, attention, and cleanliness. 

Coordinating members

Our team is made up of people with diverse talents and interests who collaborate harmoniously to achieve the common goal of supporting cats, all under the very serious feline eye of Justice:

Ana-Maria <span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; brings a deep understanding of each cat's specific needs and efficiently manages daily operations. With experience as a veterinary assistant and rescue since 2013, she has an affinity for the management and proper care of kittens. She currently has a recent focus on operational management, with Ana-Maria ensuring the smooth running of activities, from social and medical communication to finance, strategic partnerships and sourcing all things cat. She has a weakness for sick abandoned kittens and cases of feline infectious peritonitis.

Adrian is our expert in animal care and rescue in the field. As a veterinary technician with years of experience and a native artistic talent, Adi also supports us in graphic design, in addition to ensuring the good functionality of the space at the Cat House, rescuing cats from the field, administering treatments atunci când este necesar și transportul de zi cu zi către cabinetele veterinare sau alte activități de teren. Slăbiciunea lui sunt pisicile agresive cu patologii grave. 

Oana helps us with her expertise in the field of partnerships and organizing events, but also with the secretarial part, her sociable and warm nature being a solid asset in communication with community members. With a solid education in economics and a master's degree in sustainable development, Oana is the ideal person to coordinate relations with our partners. She handles both medical and commercial collaborations and is responsible for organizing charity events. Oana's weakness is the old cats that she fights to get into her care. 

Diana contributes through outstanding organizational and planning skills. As a programmer at the core and having experience in software development and project management since 2016, Diana contributes her structured thinking and ability to identify actions necesare pentru a duce fiecare acțiune la bun sfârșit într-un mod profesional. Abilitățile ei sunt esențiale, organizând voluntarii, familiile temporare ale pisicilor, intermediind adopțiile și proiectele în desfășurare. Slăbiciunea ei sunt pisicile comune, simple, adulte care nu au șanse mari de adopție. 

Justice is our furry superstar, making sure street cats make their voices heard - isn't it hard to get noticed when you only have a Meow to spare? His name is no accident – ​​it means 'justice', and he takes this very serious mission! He knows how hard it is to be left out, especially when you need medical help . He went through 190 days of treatment for PIF, but came out stronger than ever. Justice knows that the period foster care is essential for every tomboy, giving them the chance to feel the love and care they need to to face the challenges. He constantly reminds us that every kitten deserves to have someone by his side in difficult times and he is convinced that any slob can change his destiny - so he makes sure that all his brothers on the streets get a glimmer of hope and maybe a few pats on the belly. That's right, right!

 Together, we form a dedicated and efficient team committed to promoting the welfare and prosperity of Green Cats.

Green Volunteers

We consider diversity to be our strength. The team of volunteers includes students, corporates, lawyers or even doctors. 

Green volunteers, each with their own story and profession, are united by respect for living beings, the desire to change things for the better and love of cats. They are people who show courage, integrity and a sense of responsibility, who understand that change starts with the person himself.

Despite their busy schedule and daily responsibilities, our volunteers find time to contribute to a cause greater than themselves. They are living proof that regardless of professional background, age or gender, each of us can make a difference. Together, we work not only to protect and improve the lives of street cats, but also to promote a lifestyle with less suffering in our community through all the work we do with so much soul every day.

Green Cats is more than an association; it's a support network and group of dedicated friends. We are determined to educate society nationally about cat welfare and neutering, which are the only things that have a positive impact on reducing abandonment in the medium and long term.

We are proud of our team of atypical volunteers and we are grateful to them for everything what we do together to keep our future and that of our furry friends green.
