This is not just a trip; it's an opportunity to make a meaningful impact while developing your documentary filmmaking and photography skills under the guidance of experienced impact-driven storytellers.
Volunteer Impact:
Participants will collaborate with local leaders and changemakers engaged in crucial conservation and community empowerment efforts.

Production and Collaboration:

These projects, which can be in video, photo, or audio format, will not only enhance your portfolio but may also be showcased in international festivals and public exhibitions, further extending the impact of your volunteer work.

Kotor Kitties prevents needless suffering and death of cats because of their massive overpopulation in the Balkan country of Montenegro. We brought the first (and only) high volume spay-neuter program to the country, and we've helped more than 12,500 cats in 5.5 years! Along with better health and reduced population of the cats, we're changing the culture--more Montenegrins are embracing spay-neuter, adopting cats as pets, and accepting the community cats in their neighborhoods.This year Kotor Kitties will expand to work in a "new" coastal community called Bar. It is a popular spot for tourists, so we want to tap into their interest in the animals by placing donation cannisters in popular tourist spots.
"Bar Community Cats, a project of Kotor Kitties" should be on the boxes, along with a QR code that can be changed if needed. We have a recognized brand for Kotor Kitties, but Bar Community Cats should have a it's own logo and somewhat modified or expanded cp;prs and font.
