Byron Shire Council along with Pets for Life, RSPCA NSW, and NSW Government are pleased to supply free desexing for cats within the Byron Shire.
“As the weather warms up, cats start breeding, so now is a great time to desex your cat to avoid unwanted kittens. To encourage cat owners in the Shire to do this, we are happy to offer free desexing,” stated Sarah Nagel, Byron Shire Council Manager of Public and Environmental Services.
“We know that this has been useful in lowering undesirable kittens up to now.
“While there is a high rate of desexing in the Byron Shire, according to a recent consultation, RSPCA NSW are still having to take in approximately 13,000 cats, of which around 70 per cent are kittens, a year. This means there is still work to be done with getting cats desexed as soon as possible,” she stated.
Free desexing is being provided as a part of the Keeping Cats Safe at Home Project, which inspires accountable pet possession by desexing, microchipping and holding your cat protected at home.
If you’re a cat proprietor that’s all in favour of free desexing please go to Council’s web site for extra data. The program is particularly really helpful for anybody who has discovered a stray cat or kitten they want to undertake. This provide is restricted, so get in fast.
This challenge has been assisted by the NSW Government by way of its Environmental Trust.
