How many were going to Byron Bay?

Why keeping cats safe at home is important?

Outdoor cats face numerous risks:

  • Exposure to diseases.
  • Vehicle accidents.
  • Theft or getting lost.

Keeping cats safe at home also helps protect our local wildlife populations. 

We have partnered with RSPCA NSW on its Keeping Cats Safe at Home campaign about loving cats, celebrating the people who love their cats and motivating cat lovers to keep their feline companions safe and fulfilled.

The NSW-wide project is funded by a $2.5 million grant from the NSW Environmental Trust.
