Abolishing the absurd idea that ‘feeders’ are the ‘problem’

April 30, 2012Comments are closed.cats, resistance

“Have you ever fed a homeless cat ? Feeding homeless cats extends rather than helps the problem. More info here www.goodcatsa.com/homeless …” – RSPCA SA Facebook page Feeding homeless cats only ‘extends the problem’ in that it gives a hungry animal a meal. What is truly ‘extending the problem’ of homeless cats breeding unchecked, is [...]

‘Kitty Cam’ an internet sensation

April 27, 2012Comments are closed.adoptions, marketing

There is a pervasive and popular belief in Australian shelters that people don’t ‘like’ cats – that Australian’s are ‘anti-cat’ – or that people have no interest in their welfare. This thankfully, is nearly entirely incorrect. Not only do we know people have compassion for Community Cats, they love their pet cats too. And they [...]

A story of compassion

April 16, 2012Comments are closed.cats, resistance

Imagine for one moment you had a fan, who every week took around $100 that they could scarcely afford and used it directly to benefit your cause.

Joondalup cat ‘rescue’ update

April 15, 2012Comments are closed.cats, resistance

What a topsy-turvy world we live in, when someone who advocates for cat’s lives to be respected and protected is howled down by cat lovers – while the ‘cat welfare’ group advocating to use killing as a tool to manage their population is lauded for their efforts. It would be funny if the cats weren’t [...]

Save the Joondalup Community Cat colony from becoming just another statistic

April 14, 2012Comments are closed.cats, shelter procedure

Last night a call went out from the Cat Haven in Perth: “Abandoned” kittens in “distress” needing immediate help. Further updates told us the cats weren’t just in distress – they were also “diseased”. Of course the public (the irresponsible masses) were quick to rally in support. The kittens must be caught! But what no [...]

Could Instagram make your photos pop?

April 13, 2012Comments are closed.adoptions, new media

There was huge news this week when Facebook bought the app Instagram for one billion dollars. I’d been meaning to blog about the potential for rescue groups to use this tool, so with this news now seems like as good a time as any. One of the best things about getting a professional photographer in, [...]
