Cat Protection Society Op Shop to close after 40+ years
June 2020

The Cat Protection Society of NSW Op Shop on Enmore Road has closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This decision was heartbreaking. The Op Shop has been central to Cat Protection’s fundraising and community presence for more than four decades,” Cat Protection CEO Kristina Vesk said. “It is a part of our soul.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic left us no choice.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cat Protection will be closed to the public until further notice.

This means no adoptions; no surrenders; no walk-in retail sales; and no direct services.

If you are a regular customer of cat food/litter/flea and worm treatment, you may wish to phone us on 9557 4818 to place an order which we can prepare for you to pick-up.

We are still available to provide assistance on cat-care matters,

The NSW State Emergency Service has developed a vital new resource – Get Ready Animals – to help people plan for the safe care of animals – including pets – during emergencies.

The website includes a template emergency plan, important links for emergency information and assistance. Cat Protection was pleased to participate in a workshop to help inform the development of these important resources. This summer has been a tragic reminder that disasters may give little warning but have a very big impact.
