The factor cats use up a lot of the cumulative web space is due to the fact that they are so exceptionally charming – we enjoy them! But we don’t constantly keep them inside when they need to be.
To help raise awareness of the problem, Byron Shire Council is introducing the Keeping Cats at Home drawing competitors tomorrow and it is open to all kids 12 years or younger living in the Byron Shire.
The competitors is moneyed by RSPCA NSW with assistance from Byron Shire Council and intends to accentuate the Keeping Cats Safe at Home campaign.
Manager Public and Environmental Services, Sarah Nagel, said all the kids require to do is draw a gorgeous photo of themselves with their cat safe at home prior to the closing date of 30 June and they will enter the draw to win some excellent rewards.
Prizes to be won
Six reward loads that consist of a $200 cat enrichment pack, and a ‘Cam the Cat’ Squishmallow toy or a Mudpuppy Cat-tastic! parlor game, will be handed out in April, May, and June (there will be 2 winners revealed every month).
In addition, among the month-to-month winners will be picked as the general winner. They will get a check out to Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary on their own, plus their entire class.
‘The evidence shows us that cats do live longer and happier lives when they’re cared for inside our houses,’ said Ms Nagel.
‘Cats that roam, especially at night time, do have a devastating impact on our local wildlife causing injuries or even death, and that’s another factor we’re motivating everybody to get on board and keep cats securely in the home.
‘This competition is about raising our community’s awareness of these truths and the advantages of keeping cats happy and healthy in the home. We’ve got lots of handy pointers and info about how cat owners can make it occur on Council’s website.’
