A recent study estimates there to be somewhere between 2.1 and 6.3 million feral animals in Australia. PPVH is committed to helping decrease this number by working closely with organizations such as the Community Cat Carers and Cat Rescue 901. We vet check, desex, vaccinate and deworm the animals, with the intent of finding them all homes. 

Having never interacted with humans, the cats often come in to the clinic scared and shy, but we work diligently to get them used to the human touch. Sometimes you'll even see us carrying around small kittens in our scrub tops! This gets them used to the sound of human voices and our scent. 

Currently, we have a litter of three (previously four - one just got adopted!) very sweet, 4 month old kittens. They have turned into very well socialized and affectionate cats. 

Check Me-owt! I'm up for adoption (along with two siblings- see below!) at Potts Point Vet. Come and meet me today! 

Unfortunately, many people think "feral" or "stray" cats are inherently nasty or vicious. This simply is not the case - especially when they are trapped young and well-socialized from a young age!

In a recent article, Community Cat Carers President Michael Goldberg reports that this has been a particularly huge kitten season this year, due to the long summer and high temperatures. 

We are strongly urging anyone who is thinking of getting a cat, to consider adopting from a local shelter, rescue or veterinary clinic. If you're still unsure about rescuing a pet, check out our blog post on why we love shelter pets!

Here I am with my two beautiful rescue cats, Wesley and Trundle (despite how she may appear in this photo, she actually loves human interaction!)
