Cat Beach Sanctuary is nothing like any other cat caring organization but to create a worldwide network of support for the people who love cats. From the official website, The project: the Cat Beach Sanctuary was founded when Barbara Janssen, founder of the Penang Animal Welfare Society and 4PAWS dog shelter introduced her American cat-loving friend, Teviot Fairservis, to Mr. Nana Bin Wanchik, a fisherman who has been feeding cats for a decade.

They found that cats rescued from different places and situations need shelter and place to go. So, they started the idea to transform an old wooden house on the beach into a cat sanctuary and successfully to build a special place for the cats with the help of many volunteers since July 2014.

"Under the umbrella of the nonprofit Cat Lovers International Society, our mission is to improve the welfare of cats in Penang and reaching out to communities across the globe. We believe deeply in 'think globally, act locally.'"

"Future projects planned include publications and educational programs, internships for veterinary students, and training for those who wish to learn more about cat care, and art projects celebrating ‘all things cat.’ Also in the works are a “Cat Cafe” and charity store projects to help support the Cat Beach cats."
