Please sign this e-petition to help ban puppy farms in Tasmania.

Your huge outpouring of support changed the lives of the 239 labradoodles we’ve saved from Tasmania’s largest puppy farm.

Now, we’re asking for your help to change the laws to ensure this can never happen again.

The e-petition is here, and is open until September 9: https://haepetitions.parliament.tas.gov.au/haepet/Home/PetitionDetails/119?title=Petition%20Details

***ADOPTED***

Little man Max has been with us for a few weeks now…brought in as a trapped stray with lots of cuts and scratches who had no vet work completed and we were unable to find his owner.

So now his vet work has all been done, Max is waiting for his forever home here at the Penna shelter…he is a sweet, cuddly boy who wants nothing but love and affection…but he is not coping here and has started to overgroom himself due to stress which has led to some bald patches which you can see in the photo.

We would dearly love for Max to be adopted but in the meantime we’d really love if someone could foster him so he gets some more one on one attention and give him a break from being in the cattery.

Max is probably best suited to a home with another friendly cat or he’d also be quite happy to be the king and be on his own.

Please inbox us if you might be able to help Max 🙏

Community Update on the Trapping of colony Cats
Please note that in the coming weeks we will stop trapping due to kitten season.

Here is another update from us to keep you up to date with how we are going with the colony cats at the Hill St Grocers in Longford and McDonald’s at Kingsmeadows…

We are pretty positive that we are on the tail end of both these locations and there are less cats in these areas - we can never clear the entire colony sadly but we always do our best.

So far 53 cats have been removed from the Mcdonalds colony and 33 from the Longford Hill St Grocer.

West Tamar Council have been trapping at the Tailrace recently and removed 16 cats from there who all arrived to our Facility.

Every Trapped cat who arrives at Just Cats are checked over - this is to make sure that
1. they are healthy and well
2. there are no injuries that need to be addressed
3. to check if they are microchipped or desexed

Just a reminder that -
WE ARE NOT FUNDED BY ANYONE TO DO THIS....

All of the above costs our Organisation between $350 - $550 per cat as long as they do not require extensive vet work such as dentals...

SO CAN YOU HELP US?

We need more foster carers to help us with the rehabilitation of these cats - if you can assist please fill out our form on our website at www.justcats.org.au and we will get back to you with more information.

Cats, like us, have distinctive qualities and traits. “Normal” cat behavior isn’t really a thing. You can assume that some behaviors will be found in many or even most cats, but each cat is still unique. Like us, their moods and environment affect their habits and behaviors. Our cats are attem...

Community Notice

Just Cats have an arrangement with a local property owner and together we are finally cleaning up the colony of cats located at McDonalds in Kingsmeadows that we have been aware of for over 3 years.

There are over 20 adult cats that are part of this colony and many kittens
We have currently removed 29 from this location.

If you live in this area please make sure your cats are in your home on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday night after 8pm - better still keep them confined 24/7 to keep them safe regardless.

If you have any concerns please email us at [email protected]
