The NSW Government department of Fair Trading has released the Strata Schemes Management Regulation 2016 for public consultation.

Cat Protection is very happy to see the proposed regulation is PET-FRIENDLY!

That’s right – the new Act and Regulation will mean that pet-friendly strata schemes are the norm rather than the exception. This is great news for pets in strata.

The NSW Government Natural Resources Commission is calling for submissions on its “Pest animal management review” and the deadline of 18 May is fast approaching. We want to carefully consider the many ethical, scientific, veterinary and legal issues in our response to these proposals and this takes time.

With so many kittens to cuddle we have decided to extend our Opening Hours!

As kitten season continues we will now be opening our Adoption Centre on

Sundays from 10am to 2:30pm.

Cat Protection’s CEO Kristina Vesk was asked for comment on the correlation between the rise in temperatures and an increase in kitten numbers in recent years:

Congratulations to our CEO Kristina Vesk who was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for services to Animal Welfare. We are so proud that Kristina’s dedication and hard work for all our feline friends has been recognised, we are practically purring! A true champion for cats everywhere!!!

My Secret Sydney

Kate Mulvany was kind enough to share her experience of Cat Protection saying, “They take such care of the cats and they really make sure the cats go to the right owners. It’s a beautiful place to spend time with a lot of felines that are looking for some love.”

Thanks Kate and lots of kitty cuddles for Bowie and Heisenberg!
