Help Us Do Something Magical Tonight

I’m writing to you with that nervous feeling. You know when you embark on something that is game changing but also trepidation with the fear that you may still fall short at the final hurdle. It’s our biggest project ever. We must do this for the cats and kitten that need us more than ever. It’s our duty. Our responsibility.

I was put on this earth to help kitties and cats in their time of need and to be honest we just have to expand. It’s been overwhelming for me and our team.

Over the last year, we’ve taken in double the average number of cats from the North West Coast. There just hasn’t been a Cat Management Facility since last February so we’ve had to answer the calls for help. 250 cats have arrived at our door step just in the last 6 months from this area which in turn has put loads of strain on our resources here in Launceston to accommodate the extra need.

The North West Coast is a very large area and after loads of research we have chosen to set up the shelter in Burnie - this is so more people in remote areas can access our help. It is very exciting but stressful. We have no choice.

Every year for the past 4 years, we’ve been disappointed that the government has not allocated any funds in the budgets for the project so we’ve just met and decided that we need to do it ourselves. We can’t wait any longer. We just can’t.
