This week at Tamar Sunrise

At This week's meeting our guest speaker was Rachel Beech from Just Cats Tasmania.
Just Cats Tasmania is a registered Charity and totally survives off the generosity of the public, they care for 35 to 90 felines at a time and they are about to extend the shelter to accommodate more un homed felines .
Their primary goals are:

• To support and promote responsible cat ownership, including the Tasmanian Cat Legislation
• To give every cat who comes into their care the best chance at life
• To offer discount desexing to those in need 

And importantly, they are a true 'No Kill Shelter' which means they euthanise only in the most extreme circumstances, where severe injury or illness would prevent treatment or rehoming, or in cases where rehabilitation of a cat is not in the best interest of the animal due to extreme distress. They do not euthanise to 'make space' or if we are 'full'.

Some of the services they offer are:

Help with unplanned litters
They can take in mother cats either before or after they give birth, so that their kittens can be cared for and grow up to be rehomed at a later date once their vet work has been done, and also to desex Mother Cat before returning her home, or they can rehome her if needed.

Help with Desexing
They can help with discounted desexing for Male and Female cats - whether they are your own pets or feral cats.

Stray or Feral Cats and Kittens
Has a cat had kittens on your property and you would like them to have a chance at life?  Contact Rachel for help with catching them.  Once in Just Cat's care they will asses them and whenever possible rehabilitate them and place them into homes.
Rachel impressed us all with her passion and conviction and I urge anyone if you are either looking for a new cat or have a cat related problem please get in touch with Rachel at Just Cats.
