In the past few weeks, this movement reached a new milestone with the official opening of the\u00a0<strong>first-ever cat clinic on Gili Air<\/strong>, a project initiated and operated by\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luni-lombok.com\">LUNI Lombok<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This heartwarming development adds to an already exciting string of changes on the island, including the\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/bottle-problem\/\">introduction of a glass crusher machine<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to produce eco-friendly building bricks, and the establishment of a\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/oceans5dive.wordpress.com\/2025\/04\/22\/a-new-era-of-order-gili-air-introduces-official-bicycle-parking-next-to-oceans-5\/\">new bicycle parking area<\/a><\/strong> near the harbor to improve road safety and organization. But this time, it\u2019s the island\u2019s animals\u2014specifically its feline residents\u2014that are at the center of attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a closer look at what this new cat clinic means for Gili Air, the long-term vision of LUNI Lombok, and how\u00a0<em>you<\/em>\u00a0can get involved to support this vital cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Birth of the Cat Clinic on Gili Air<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Until recently, animal welfare efforts on Gili Air were primarily event-based. LUNI Lombok, a nonprofit organization committed to animal welfare across the Gili Islands and Lombok, would host pop-up cat clinics several times a year. These events, offering neutering, vaccinations, and medical care, were always welcomed by both locals and foreign residents alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it became increasingly clear that\u00a0<strong>temporary efforts weren\u2019t enough<\/strong>. The need for\u00a0<strong>continuous, reliable veterinary care<\/strong>\u2014especially for street cats\u2014grew urgent. The solution? A\u00a0<strong>permanent, fully functioning cat clinic<\/strong>\u00a0right here on Gili Air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located\u00a0<strong>behind the Burrito Project<\/strong>\u00a0and near\u00a0<strong>Kantor Desa<\/strong>, the new cat clinic is modest but well-equipped. It includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A\u00a0<strong>consultation room<\/strong>\u00a0where sick or injured animals can be assessed and treated,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A\u00a0<strong>surgery room<\/strong>\u00a0for sterilizations and minor operations,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A\u00a0<strong>recovery area<\/strong>\u00a0where cats can rest and regain their strength post-treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While the clinic is still in its startup phase and formal opening hours are yet to be finalized, operations are expected to run smoothly in the coming weeks. Once fully operational, it will be a\u00a0<strong>lifeline for stray cats<\/strong>\u00a0across the island\u2014and hopefully, one day, for animals across all three Gilis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why This Clinic Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The opening of this clinic is more than just a local improvement. It represents a\u00a0<strong>shift in community mindset<\/strong>, highlighting the importance of coexisting with animals in a compassionate, responsible way. For years, street cats on the Gilis have lived in unpredictable and sometimes unsafe conditions. Many suffer from malnutrition, parasites, or untreated injuries. With this new clinic, help is now\u00a0<strong>just around the corner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Cat-Clinic-Gili-air-3-2.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&quality=89&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Cat-Clinic-Gili-air-3-2-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&quality=89&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Cat-Clinic-Gili-air-3-2-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&quality=89&ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Cat-Clinic-Gili-air-3-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&quality=89&ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Cat-Clinic-Gili-air-3-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&quality=89&ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Cat-Clinic-Gili-air-3-2-scaled.jpg?w=1920&quality=89&ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cat Clinic Gili Air | LUNI Lombok<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>LUNI Lombok is a grassroots movement with a big heart and a big vision. Their mission isn\u2019t just about cats\u2014it\u2019s about building a\u00a0<strong>sustainable, ethical, and supportive environment<\/strong>\u00a0for all animals on the Gilis. And they\u2019ve mapped out a clear roadmap to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LUNI Lombok\u2019s Long-Term Goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.\u00a0<strong>Food, Water, and Shelter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every animal deserves the basics\u2014food, clean water, and a safe space to rest. One of the main missions of LUNI Lombok is to ensure that\u00a0<strong>no animal goes hungry or thirsty<\/strong>, and that basic shelter and compassion are available across the island. Whether through donations, community food stations, or partnerships with local businesses, this goal is already being acted upon daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.\u00a0<strong>Sterilisation and Vaccination<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Uncontrolled reproduction among the island\u2019s street cats has led to a boom in population\u2014and with that, more mouths to feed, more illnesses to treat, and more suffering. LUNI Lombok aims to\u00a0<strong>sterilize and vaccinate 80% of the stray cat population<\/strong>\u00a0across all three Gili Islands through both the\u00a0<strong>permanent Gili Air clinic<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>pop-up Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sterilization not only helps control the population but\u00a0<strong>reduces aggressive behavior<\/strong>, territorial fights, and the spread of infectious diseases. Vaccination protects both the animals and humans from preventable illnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.\u00a0<strong>Veterinary Care<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From skin infections to respiratory diseases, injuries from accidents, or digestive issues from scavenging spoiled food, the range of health problems street cats face is vast. The cat clinic on Gili Air will provide\u00a0<strong>daily access to vet care<\/strong>, ensuring\u00a0<strong>treatment is not just a luxury<\/strong>\u00a0for owned pets but a right for all animals\u2014street cats included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it doesn\u2019t stop with cats. LUNI Lombok also provides\u00a0<strong>mobile veterinary care<\/strong>, extending help to dogs, turtles, and even wildlife such as snakes that may be injured or displaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.\u00a0<strong>Rescue and Rehabilitation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond cats and dogs, the Gili Islands are home to a variety of species, from birds to reptiles. LUNI Lombok plans to\u00a0<strong>expand its rescue and rehabilitation efforts<\/strong>\u00a0to include wildlife in distress. Whether it\u2019s a sea turtle caught in fishing line or a snake stuck in a village garden, the goal is to protect, rehabilitate, and if possible, return the animal to its natural habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tempImagepk9M4S-edited-scaled.jpg?resize=1200%2C1600&quality=89&ssl=1\" alt=\"Cat Clinic Gili Air | LUNI Lombok\" class=\"wp-image-14379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tempImagepk9M4S-edited-scaled.jpg?w=1920&quality=89&ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tempImagepk9M4S-edited-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&quality=89&ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tempImagepk9M4S-edited-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&quality=89&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tempImagepk9M4S-edited-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&quality=89&ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tempImagepk9M4S-edited-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&quality=89&ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cat Clinic Gili Air | LUNI Lombok<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.\u00a0<strong>Education and Community Engagement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lasting change doesn\u2019t come from one clinic or one team. It comes from a\u00a0<strong>community that understands the value of compassion<\/strong>. LUNI Lombok is passionate about educating locals, visitors, and school children on how to care for animals properly. They also run\u00a0<strong>initiatives like the Cat Caf\u00e9<\/strong>, where cats can be fostered in a relaxing environment while raising awareness and adoption interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How You Can Help \u2013 Be a Cat Superhero!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This movement can\u2019t survive without its\u00a0<strong>superheroes<\/strong>\u2014and that\u2019s where\u00a0<em>you<\/em>\u00a0come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf1f\u00a0<strong>Get Involved<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>LUNI Lombok\u2019s success depends on support from animal lovers both near and far.

Items like antiseptic, flea treatment, gloves, cat food, or syringes can be expensive or hard to source locally. Your contribution, no matter how small, will go a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udc31\u00a0<strong>Foster a Cat<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes a cat just needs a little extra love.

Now, with the right permits in place,\u00a0<strong>glass bottles are transformed into eco bricks<\/strong>, made with a blend of sand, cement, and crushed glass. These bricks are\u00a0<strong>twice the size of normal ones<\/strong>\u00a0and ideal for local construction projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This initiative is helping to reduce the massive stockpile of discarded bottles and repurpose waste into a valuable construction material\u2014reducing shipping costs, emissions, and landfill overflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udeb2\u00a0<strong>New Bicycle Parking Area<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another recent upgrade is the creation of a\u00a0<strong>dedicated bicycle parking area<\/strong>\u00a0in the harbor, next to Oceans 5 Gili Air. With more and more tourists and locals using bicycles, the roads near the harbor were becoming dangerously congested. Horse carts couldn\u2019t pass, accidents were on the rise, and the arrival area looked chaotic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, with\u00a0<strong>structured paid parking (IDR 3,000 per day)<\/strong>, the streets are safer, horses are better protected, and tourists arriving on the island are greeted by an organized, peaceful setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These efforts reflect a collective goal: to make Gili Air\u00a0<strong>a model for sustainable, safe, and compassionate island living<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Road Ahead: What\u2019s Next for Gili Air?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the momentum from these recent developments, it\u2019s clear that\u00a0<strong>Gili Air is evolving<\/strong>\u2014not by losing its charm, but by enriching its soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cat clinic by LUNI Lombok is a\u00a0<strong>symbol of this progress<\/strong>: a small space with a huge heart, representing a commitment to kindness, care, and community action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the clinic becomes more established, we can expect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Regular opening hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More veterinary visits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pop-up TNR days across the island<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased community education<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Volunteer programs for tourists and locals alike<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a beginning\u2014a beautiful, necessary one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gili Air is changing<\/strong>, and it\u2019s not just about better infrastructure or cleaner beaches\u2014it\u2019s about\u00a0<strong>how we care for all who live here<\/strong>, humans and animals alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The launch of the\u00a0<strong>LUNI Lombok Cat Clinic<\/strong>\u00a0marks a new chapter in island compassion. Alongside eco-conscious innovations like the glass brick project and improved harbor parking, the clinic shows what\u2019s possible when\u00a0<strong>locals, expats, and travelers come together<\/strong>\u00a0with one goal: to make the island a better place for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So next time you walk past the Burrito Project or cycle through the harbor, remember: a small clinic is quietly doing life-saving work, one cat at a time.
