What We Do
Trap-Neuter-Release(TNR)
At Zero Strays Miri, we prioritize a practice called Trap, Neuter, and Release(TNR) to reduce the population of stray cats and dogs in the city. Neutered dogs would be given a red collar and a Zero Strays tag as identification, while neutered cats would have their ear tipped.
Temporary Shelter
Animals that are not suitable to undergo the Trap, Neuter and Release program are often in very poor condition, both physically and emotionally. These animals require intensive care to recuperate and regain their health. We do not have a shelter, therefore foster homes are always needed to care for these animals.
Education
Zero Strays Miri believes that education plays an important role in improving animal welfare. Education allows the development of respect, kindness, empathy and positive attitudes towards people and animals. We offer educational programs to kindergarten, as well as primary and secondary schools that seek to actively promote caring and loving attitudes toward animals.
As we continue to witness the tragedy of animal overpopulation and animal neglect and cruelty, animal welfare education is aimed at providing ways to change attitudes and behaviours, so the need to rescue and reduce the population of strays can ultimately be reduced or, ideally, eliminated.
Fundraising
Fundraising is a crucial part of our work at Zero Strays Miri. Zero Strays Miri relies solely on public and corporate donations for sustainability. 100% of the funds collected are contributed toward the animals' wellfare. Our entire team at Zero Strays Miri are volunteers who are not paid for their efforts in helping the animals.
Events
We organize many events for the purpose of raising awareness for animal welfare, providing education, adoption of homeless animals, and raising funds for our cause.
