Description: Some people just ignore the existence of stray cats in their neighborhood or even see stray cats as pests. They live in the traditional market, housing area, and also the streets. Often, we find kittens being dumped inside a box on the street and in the traditional markets. People just don't want to be bothered by newborn kitten and think that dumping the kittens in the traditional market will solve the problem. In fact, almost all kittens die instead of surviving. It is not different from slowly killing them.

Type of Work:  Street Feeding in Universities, Traditional Market, and other places.  Manual works in the cat shelter  Caretaking a cat (volunteers have to choose a cat from Star Paws as their pet during the workcamp)  Campaign against animal abuse using social media  Mini-workshop on stray cat care issues  Semarang Historical City Tour  Practicing Indonesian traditional cultural art  Culture exchange with university students

Study Theme: Animal issues in Indonesia, daily care to pet a cat, intercultural and interfaith learning.

Accommodation:  2nd floor of the Star Paws Building  Shared room with the other volunteers  Shared bathroom and toilet  Shared kitchen & fridge  Wifi available  Close to the ATM, food stall, and supermarket  Laundry shop available nearby

Language: We use Bahasa Indonesia for daily life, but we also use English among the volunteers and local partner.

Approximate Location: Semarang City, Central Java, Indonesia.

Notes: 3,800,000
