Cat Protection Society of NSW


The Cat Protection Society of NSW is a not-for-profit charity operating in Newtown, New South Wales. The Society was created in 1958 as a means of reducing the street cat population through neutering and adoption. Their vision is "that every cat has a loving and responsible home".

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".
