New twitter feed

Please support us on twitter by helping champers … you simply log on to twitter and start your own account and then follow champers by going to @catprotection and clicking on follow. For this initiative to work best for us and help adopt more cats it would also be great if you could get your friends to become followers as well. Meantime Champers will keep you all updated with the latest goings on here at the shelter … a big meow! and lots of purrs.

Cats are our passion! We have been helping stray, wild and unwanted cats and kittens since 1947. Our services include re-homing cats and kittens, reuniting lost cats with their owners, trapping wild cats and operating a feline veterinary clinic.

Our society relies on community support through membership fees, donations and legacies to carry out our work.

Our Greensborough hostel can accommodate up to 300 cats and kittens and we are happy to help you with any feline questions.

Current opening hours are 10am - 4.00 pm weekdays and 11.00am - 2.00pm on weekends

All cats and kittens brought to the hostel get a veterinary examination before being offered for adoption. Our animals are all de-sexed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and defleaed prior to sale and come with a two week health cover.

Our veterinary clinic aims to provide a quality service to the public at welfare rates so that all cats in need of medical attention can be helped.

During “kitten season” the demands on our society are enormous so our resources are strained to the limit.

We work with government at all levels and other animal welfare agencies to promote the welfare of cats and responsible pet ownership.

The new CAT CRISIS COALITION website is now “live”. Visit catcrisis.com.au to find out more about the coalition’s mission to ensure all cats over the age of 12 weeks are desexed.

The CAT CRISIS COALITION is a unique alliance of leading Victorian animal welfare groups united through our commitment to urgently address the current cat crisis and improve the welfare of cats.
