Feline fundraiser immortalises top cats

Some of the most memorable cats rehomed by the Cat Protection Society in Newtown have been immortalised in a series of brooches being sold in a fundraising drive. Bella, Jaffa, Johnny and Zac are among the felines featuring on nine brooches created for the fundraiser, called “Nine Lives” and hashtagged #NineLivesNewtown on social media.

And to prove that cats rule the internet, we’ve launched a one-minute video featuring Paul Capsis as the voice of Jitu the cat. Charles Penfold is the filmmaker. Jack the cat makes a guest appearance!

Each brooch retails at $39 over the counter at Cat Protection Society at 103 Enmore Road, Newtown, or for $50 including postage at our online shop.
