The month of May has been all about dogs thanks to Million Paws Walk but our feline friends are set to change all that! They want the dog talk to end and prove once and for all that anything dogs can do they can do better.
That includes finding their forever homes!
The RSPCA ACT Shelter felines have decided enough is enough! Nothing will stand in their way to finding the purrfect forever homes! For the second time this year our cattery is full of loveable cats waiting for their second chance. To help them on their mission the RSPCA has reduced adoption prices for adult cats to $99 until SATURDAY 17th JUNE!

Speaking as someone who described himself as a “dog person” for most of his life, I relented a few years ago to the pressure imposed in this majority female household and agreed to buy a cat. I was so pleasantly surprised and happy with her that we now have two!
45 RSPCA felines have recently found their homes in Canberra but they have so many more ready to go and start their new lives. You don’t need to make an appointment but it’s worthwhile doing some research first if you have never owned a cat before. And the awesome staff at the RSPCA are always full of helpful advice. I would suggest going there and taking your time to meet a few of the cats when it is relatively quiet (weekends are usually busy). The more cats you meet, the more likely you will find one that you are happy to adopt and take home to be your forever pet.
$99 is such a small price to pay for never ending love.
We certainly love our two cats, both purchased from the RSPCA cattery in Weston Creek Canberra about five and six years ago. The reason we have two is the first one was so beautiful, friendly, and surprisingly easy to care for, that we thought we could find room for one more. Just be aware that you will need to be careful when housing a second cat in a home that already has one, as they are very territorial. It’s not particularly difficult, but you will need to keep them separated and introduce them to each other safely and slowly and it may take a few months before they start getting on. Just like people, cats will occasionally fight, so be prepared to separate them as required when that happens. Ours, both girls, are like sisters now and despite having very different personalities will happily share a bed or couch (or in the case below, the hoooman mummy’s lap) and eat together as well. But do seek advice first if you’re buying a second cat!
