Help RSPCA NSW this Kitten Season
Every summer, RSPCA NSW cares for thousands of unwanted cats and kittens. Feline intake increases by 400% and fills shelters across the state with homeless litters – often a result of owners not desexing their cats or letting them roam freely outside. To put into perspective how big of an issue Kitten Season is, over 18,000 kittens are requiring urgent care in RSPCA shelters across the country. To further paint the picture, a pair of undersexed cats can lead to over 20,000 kittens in just two years. To help this organisation’s amazing work, you can donate to RSPCA NSW or become a foster carer with all food, medication and kitty litter provided by RSPCA NSW.
