Many thanks to over 500 people who have signed our petition to promote cat enclosures with effective engagement with the community & invest in desexing programs! 

The Mayor and Councillors have been provided with information on this petition, how well it has been rapidly supported, and the recommendations for proven proactive steps versus the associated constraints with cat curfews. 

Can you help and ask friends to also sign and provide support for the proven Australian approaches for a number of desexing programs? 

"Sadly, tens of thousands of stray kittens and cats are killed every year in Australian pounds and shelters.

Community Cat programs have dramatic effect in saving cats’ lives, and benefit shelter and pound staff and dogs in their care.

They also decrease wildlife predation... 

In Community Cat Programs, urban stray cats are captured, desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and treated for parasites. Socialised cats and kittens are then adopted whenever possible, while unsocialised but healthy cats are returned to their home location." Community Cat Programs Australian Pet Welfare Foundation 

“Established local programs prove that communities committed to supporting low cost desexing provide the most cost effective solution to cat over population”  Westside Community Desexing Director Dr Penny Hocking
