CatRescue 901

CatRescue 901 is a Sydney based no kill organisation and registered not-for-profit, committed to rescuing, caring for and rehoming abandoned cats and kittens. Founded in 2006, originally as Catrescue NSW, our mission is to help combat and highlight the horrific number of cats and kittens abandoned on our streets and destroyed in council pounds each year. We not only care for helpless animals, but proactively tackle the source of the issue by campaigning for legislative change, providing low-cost desexing, microchipping and community education. We strongly believe that the terrible number of companion animals killed each year in NSW can be prevented through cultural and legislative change. CatRescue 901 is committed to rescuing and rehoming abandoned cats from the streets and sometimes council pounds. We do our best to help the most vulnerable, rescuing the very young, elderly, sick, injured, blind, disabled and abused while relying on the goodwill of the community and dedication of volunteers to achieve this vital work. Our network consists of approx 50 dedicated foster carers, a small team of coordinators and 20 veterinary practices across Sydney. We rehome our cats via our website and very fortunately through 5 PETstock stores. Our cats have all vetwork completed prior to adoption and in the event our adopters circumstances change and they can no longer care for their cats, we will always accept them back. DESEXING IS ABSOLUTELY VITAL TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ABANDONED/UNWANTED FELINES. As funds allow, we issue desexing vouchers to promote responsible pet ownership and assist members of public to do their part in controlling the cat population problem. Thanks to a generous bequest, in 2020 we issued over 800 vouchers. CatRescue 901 is a no kill organisation because every life is precious and every cat deserves a chance. This means that we are committed to doing the best for every cat in our care until their forever home is found. Their paws are in our hands.
