It is NYE and undoubtedly there will be many calls for help to find missing pets tomorrow, after they manage to break out of yards and houses, fleeing the noise of fireworks and fire crackers.

Please consider the animals and do not engage in illegal pyrotechnic displays. If you want to enjoy fireworks, please head to town to see in the new year.

For those seeking advice on how to keep pets safe, Agriculture Victoria has some sensible tips:

It is important to be prepared for nights when fireworks are going to be let off or when there is about to be a thunderstorm.

Please desex your cats. I know we say it all the time, but it cannot be said enough.

Cats can breed from only 4 months of age - babies having babies. Sometimes adolescent bodies cannot cope with pregnancy, resulting in premature or still born kittens. Sometimes mum cat doesn't have the maturity to look after her offspring and abandons them. Sometimes kittens are stuck in the birthing canal and if a c section isn't performed, mum cat dies a slow and painful death.

This week we had an adolescent give birth prematurely to 4 kittens. 3 were still born and 1 was fighting for his life in an incubator, being tube fed 2-hourly until he lost his fight this evening.

None of this had to happen. Please, everyone, desex your cats. So much suffering and heartache is preventable.

These 4 fluey neonates came to us from another rescue. It is always wonderful when we can pool resources to save more lives. Rescues are so much stronger together!
