Keeping Cats Safe at Home

We love cats

At RSPCA NSW, we love cats! And we believe every cat deserves a safe and permanent home, away from the elements, with a family who loves and cherishes them.

 

2 in 3 cat owners have lost a cat to a roaming-related accident; 1 in 3 to a car accident!

 

That is why we have created the Keeping Cats Safe at Home campaign to encourage those who have a cat in their lives to keep them safe from harm – at home.

We will be sharing insights and inspiration, advice and answers about cat safety and cat enrichment to effectively extend and enhance the lives of cats across New South Wales.

This campaign is all about loving cats, celebrating the people who love their cats and motivating cat lovers to keep their feline companions safe and fulfilled.
