Cat Protection began in 1958, as a small group of people dedicated to reducing the number of stray cats by desexing and finding loving and responsible homes for street cats.
Our vision remains the same that every cat has a loving and responsible home but we now offer a range of feline care services from our purpose-designed, no-kill shelter in Newtown.
We are an independent charity operating only in NSW.
Each year we rehome around 1,000 cats and kittens; assist with desexing a further 2,000 - 3,000 cats; provide information and advice on feline health, behaviour and welfare to more than 5,000 human clients; and reunite dozens of lost cats with their people.
We advocate for pet-friendly policies and better animal welfare laws and regulations.
All our cats and kittens for adoption are desexed; health-checked by a vet; microchipped; vaccinated; flea- and worm-treated; and house trained. Cats stay with us until they are adopted. Whether it takes one week, one month or one year or longer, we care for our cats until they find the loving and responsible homes they deserve.
