Since its launch in 2022, the Cat Protection Society of NSW program Adopt-a-Stray has helped more than 6,000 cats and kittens   

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so when we saw a poster promoting “ADOPT-A-STRAY” we might have considered it a compliment … except using the exact words of a program created and run by the Cat Protection Society of NSW since 2022 is likely to mislead and create confusion.

Team Kitty2Surf is back for 2026 and we’re raising funds to save feline lives!

Join Team Kitty2Surf and run, walk or prowl this famous and breathtaking race on Sunday 9 August.

In the late 70s Cat Protection had a recycling bin in our shop at 103 Enmore Road. Members were asked to save up their bottle and tins, so that we could take them to the tip and collect our 10c rebate. It took a lot of bottles to help a single cat, but Cat Protection has never been afraid of a bit of hard work.

Everyone in NSW has the right to a safe home, including renters with animals!

Around 7 in 10 Australian households live with animals. Yet only 1 in 10 homes available to rent in NSW advertise that animals will be ‘considered’.

When people are forced to surrender their animals because they can’t find somewhere to live together – this can be a death sentence for animals if they can’t be rehomed.

We have recently been made aware of a scam targeting pet owners that is going around.

A number of people have reported receiving letters and/or emails saying their pet’s registration has expired and they need to pay a fee to renew otherwise the microchip will not be valid.

This is a scam. Please do not reply, click on any links or enter payment details.

Your pet’s microchip registration will never expire.
