Protecting the Cats of Makkah and Madinah

Petition to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

We, the undersigned, respectfully call upon the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to strengthen humane animal welfare initiatives for the stray cats living in Makkah and Madinah.

Millions of Muslims visit these sacred cities every year. Among the many blessings and responsibilities of our faith is showing mercy to all living creatures.

We ask the Saudi authorities to:

Establish safe community feeding and clean-water stations.
Introduce humane Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs.
Provide veterinary treatment, vaccinations, and emergency care.
Partner with local rescuers and animal welfare organizations.
Protect cats from abuse, neglect, and unsafe living conditions.
Encourage hotels, businesses, residents, and pilgrims to participate in responsible animal care.
Our message is simple:

The cats of Makkah and Madinah deserve kindness, safety, and compassion.

Let us make these blessed cities examples of mercy not only toward humanity but toward every living creature.

We respectfully ask the Kingdom to consider this initiative and help create a sustainable, compassionate future for these animals.

Mercy is never wasted. Every small act of kindness matters.
