The Lost Dogs’ Home in conjunction with most responsible shelters in Victoria, supported the “Who’s For Cat’s” campaign.
So if you want to learn more about the mating habits of our feline friends, take a look at www.whosforcats.com.au.
This program was developed in conjunction with some of Australia’s most respected researchers in this field, and the Minister for Primary Industries, Joe Helper.
It takes various strategies to help the overpopulation of cats and we are looking at new and improved ways of supporting re-homing. For starters, you can log on to www.moggies.com.au for gems of kittys of all shapes, sizes and breeds.
Of course there are some out there that advocate “community cats”, without regard for who, when or how those cats will be fed, or what happens if the community circumstances change. They are often exposed to car accidents, disease and attacks from other animals. So if you are currently taking care of a community cat, are you acting in its best interest?”
To learn more, contact your local council for advice and support.
