Activities

In response to a feline panleukopenia outbreak in 2017, the Cat Protection Society of NSW subsidized free vaccinations for cat owners in Sydney.

Feral cats

In 2023 in response to a proposed plan by Tanya Plibersek, Australia's Minister for the Environment and Water to aggressively reduce feral cats in the country, Cats Protection issued a statement urging to "declare peace on the environment rather than a 'war' on feral cats". They warned that the minister risked creating a "moral panic" about cats and "demonising a single species".
