🧡 Business As Usual 👌🧡
Hillview Farm and 5 Star Boarding Cattery
We just want to reassure all of our valued customers that it is BUSINESS AS USUAL at Hillview. We hear silly things from time to time that we are closing shortly, or not opening at Christmas. This is FALSE.
We have not yet sold, so things continue as normal. Our expectations are that we will be here for some time to come. As much as we would love to retire, until the right person comes along we keep doing what we we do best. We are in no hurry.

We remain strongly committed to the local and wider community as we have for the past 10 years. Through our sponsorships of the Birre footy club, Netball club, cricket club, bowls club, the Birre Art show, and the Colac Rotary West Melbourne Cup function (supporting Anam Cara) we are proud to be putting back into the community. We have also been volunteers with Colac Area Health for many years helping with the Friday lunch programme at the Birre Community Centre as well as also providing job opportunities for local people.

All of this is only possible with the support of you, our valued customers.

Please be assured that as soon as anything changes here you will be the first to know.

In the meantime, it remains BUSINESS AS USUAL.

🚨 DESPERATE REHOMING 🚨
•~ Oreo is a beautiful 2yo female b&w cat with the cutest pink nose!
•~ Due to ill health of Oreo's Hooman Mumma, we are urgently looking for a forever home for this gorgeous shy but snuggly girl - or - if you could assist by being a Foster carer for a few weeks or possibly a few months, until we can find a forever home for Oreo.

💕 Oreo is based in Colac. She has been an Inside Only cat, so we will need to make sure you have an adequate setup for her inside. She has lived with other cats, but is probably better suited to being an Only Cat.

Please contact Colac Cat Rescue for more information🙏 TIME CRITICAL

Thank You 👏

There is no adoption Fee, but we do ask if you are able to, please consider donating what you can & when you can to our charity "Colac Cat Rescue Inc" (tax deductible). Thankyou 💕

Btw. There is 1 other adorable fluffy step-brother... 10 month old Bear! He is also needing urgent adoption or Foster care, altho Bear needs to be microchipped before we can officially advertise him 🤦‍♀️shh. Please ask if interested 🙏

💛Sunny Days Rescue & Rehab💛
Bonded brother Ragdolls available for adoption, Geelong!

4 year old Lucifer & Thor are needing a new home due to no fault of their own. They're looking for a loving family who will keep their beautiful coats brushed and give them back all the love they have to offer ♡

They're curious, cheeky and smoochy boys, enjoying playing with toys, sleeping in the sun, and snuggling their hoomans. Wiindow watching and scratching their post are also favourite activities.

They prefer to snuggle next to you than be held but will happily be picked up as needed.

They're used to kids of primary age and up, and fine with other cats. They are frightened of dogs so a home without resident or visiting dogs is a must. They are indoor only cats and would not be safe outdoors.

They are deeply bonded and will be going to a home together, not to be separated, so please don't ask about adopting one by himself 🙏

Location: Belmont
Desexed, freshly vaccinated, microchipped, parasite treated. Adoption: $800 total for both. Note their adoption fee is higher than our other cats so that we can recoup some of the costs associated with our high needs animals who are with us for long periods for medical and behavioural rehabilitation 💗🌸🐾

VICTORIAN CAT MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
Animal Welfare Victoria
Have your say in shaping Victoria’s first cat management strategy.

OPEN FOR FEEDBACK:
CLOSES 26 APRIL 2024

https://engage.vic.gov.au/cat-management-strategy

🐈 OVERVIEW

Cat management is a complex and challenging issue across Australia. For millions of Victorians, cats are a beloved family pet, while also being widely recognised as a significant threat to our native fauna.

The Victorian Government is committed to improving cat management outcomes and has drafted the state’s first long-term cat management strategy.

The draft strategy has been developed after extensive research, expert insights and engagement with a wide range of key stakeholders including local government, animal welfare organisations, land managers, conservation groups and veterinary professionals.

The strategy aims to provide an integrated and coordinated approach to cat management across all land tenures.

We invite those involved in cat management, cat owners and anyone else in the community with an interest in cats to review the draft strategy and provide their input.

Your feedback will assist us in developing a final strategy that is practical and realistic in its actions, aimed at improving cat management across Victoria.

🐈HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Please review the draft strategy and either complete the survey or make a written submission.

A summary of the key themes and actions in the draft strategy is also provided.

🐈 SURVEYS: 2 activities available

1. Victorian cat management strategy - complete the survey

2. Victorian cat management strategy - upload a written submission

** PLEASE ALSO REFER TO THE DOCUMENTS IN THE ATTACHED LINK *

https://engage.vic.gov.au/cat-management-strategy

The summary document outlines the seven key strategy themes and corresponding actions. The seven key themes are:

•Promote cat welfare and responsible cat ownership
•Increase cat desexing rates
•Expand cat containment
•Reduce the impacts of semi-owned and unowned cats
•Manage feral cat populations and impacts
•Improve collaboration and information sharing
•Improve laws and processes

Your feedback will be used to inform the development of the final cat management strategy.

A summary of stakeholder feedback will be published on Engage Victoria.

Seven Buck Sunday, on a Monday!
🙏🐈🙏🐈🙏

CCR would like to remind our beautiful cat lovers of our "Seven Buck Sunday" campaign. Supporting our campaign will allow us to say YES to more cats that need our care 🙏

At CCR, we provide rehabilitation & care to local cats brought in from the Community - and we desperately need to extend our support to locals who are in critical need for their own cats/kittens, but we can only continue to provide this support with adequate, ongoing funding 🙌💕

We would like to ask if you could please setup an ongoing, automatic payment of $7 every week or fortnight🙏

Ps. It doesn't have to be Sunday..
and it doesn't have to be $7 !! 🤗

Every dollar counts towards a positive outcome & does make a difference. This helps cover the cost of urgent vet treatment, desexing, microchipping and vaccinating. Eg. If donating $7 a fortnight, this will help towards the cost of vaccinating & desexing 1 x male cat per year💕

Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductable, where your bank statement can be used as proof of donation if needed.

Awww what a Smoochie difference!!
Fyi. Yes this process can often take a long time 🥴 especially for the cats that know exactly what you're up to 🧠 (and have witnessed cats before them being trapped!). Our Vols would have done things differently to this lady but she definitely made a great effort with good intentions + reached out for advice 💕

Is anyone missing this black male cat?

He's been found wandering every night near the Princess Hwy, Colac West. He isn't wearing a collar and is possibly desexed. He has allowed the occasional pat, but he is a little timid.

Please get in touch if you're missing your fur baby that looks just like this boy.
