At Cat Protection, we have been closely monitoring the health and progress of the kittens in our care and are very excited to announce we are resuming kitten adoptions.

As a precaution we are asking anyone who has a cat or cats at home to bring along a copy of their cat’s current vaccination certificate. This new measure is to highlight the importance of vaccination for all cats and kittens and safeguard against the spread of FPV.

Important update on Feline Panleukopaenia Virus (FPV) (also known as feline parvovirus or feline enteritis)

As confirmed by the University of Sydney, there is an outbreak of FPV in Sydney that has already killed dozens of cats and kittens, and has led to the temporary suspension of cat admissions and adoptions at Blacktown Pound.

Yesterday The University of Sydney issued a media release on the outbreak of panleukopenia in Sydney.

The once vanquished viral disease feline panleukopenia has caused the death of scores of cats in Sydney in recent weeks, investigations into the outbreak by researchers from the University of Sydney show.

Blacktown City Council is the latest area to announce an outbreak, last night issuing a statement saying its Animal Holding Facility would be closed to cats and it was placing a hold on adoptions and cat rescues until the outbreak was under control.

Thank you to all of our fabulous supporters, members and donors who have generously donated to our furry superheroes over the festive season.

With summer here, we are now dealing with the demands of another busy kitten season as well as adult cats coming into our shelter. At Cat Protection, we are constantly amazed by the super powers shown by the incredible cats and kittens in our care and their ability to overcome any obstacle in their path.

We just love Christmas at Cat Protection and to celebrate, we are thrilled to announce our new Pet Supporter membership!

This Christmas, you can sign up your former Cat Protection resident or furry friend, we would be delighted to welcome all animals as Pet Supporters. This is a one-off payment of $50 for your pet’s lifetime membership. As a thank you, your pet or former resident will receive their very own pet blanket that says they are a supporter of their feline friends at Cat Protection.

In Bathurst on Friday 9 December, the Minister for Local Government, the Hon Paul Toole MP launched The Good Neighbour Project for Cat Protection.

The Good Neighbour Project has been created by Cat Protection to promote socially and environmentally responsible cat care: “Being a responsible cat owner means ensuring the welfare and wellbeing of your cat as well as protecting the local fauna and neighbourhood amenity. Put simply, it means being a good neighbour.”

 This festive season we are celebrating our furry superheroes!
