WHY DESEXING MATTERS
Look at our graph that shows the result and speed at which cats can and do breed. This is happening under our nose in all suburbs across Geelong.
- Imagine how many of these cats are not desexed and continue this breeding cycle.
- Imagine how many will need & rely on rescue groups or shelters for care then of course finding good homes for them.
- Imagine the impact caring for so many preventable cats have on the availability of space in these organisations.
- Imagine how many of these poor lives are euthanized, perish in the environment, are killed by predators, or ignored and left to survive while living a dangerous street life.
- Imagine the impact these numbers have on our precious wildlife due to being cats that are not contained & living outdoor lives wild or domestic.
- Cats left to overpopulate create a strain on so many resources. Desexing helps reduce this strain.
The health & behaviour benefits for desexing your cat
- For females Ovarian & uterine cancer risk is eliminated as is the risk of pyometra and complications associated with pregnancy & birth. Desexing also reduces the risk of mammary cancer.
- For males desexing eliminates the risk of testicular cancer.
- Both females & males they can avoid fighting injuries like a bite abscess, reduce risk of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), feline leukemia virus (FeLV) or being killed on roads as they seek breeding opportunities. Stresses involved with breeding diminish & your companion will have a healthier more relaxed existence.
Female cats desexing costs $200, Males $100 please consider funding a full procedure or donating just a portion. It is such a great feeling knowing what you have contributed to preventing. We are always incredibly grateful to have been able to offer another desexing procedure.
You do not need to be a cat lover to understand the importance of this desexing program.
“Love them or hate them we simply must desex them”

We believe Geelong can be the best managed cat community in Australia through our successful cat desexing program.

Small Donations Make A Big Impact!
In less than two years a female cat, her mate, and their offspring can create numbers that only continue to explode without the intervention of desexing. Imagine the consequences overpopulating brings to an area with multiple cats doing this.
Cats, their owners & our community rely on this program to help end the breeding cycle for cats. Cat breeding can happen extremely fast overpopulating areas right under our nose at home, in our own street, on our block or in our suburb.
This has an extremely negative effect on all local Wildlife, our Animal Welfare & Animal Rescue organisations including council Animal Management. With less cats living a wild street life we protect our wildlife. Keeping intake numbers to a minimum in our pound, shelters & rescue groups save those organisations precious resources and reserves safe space for those cats & animals in need of their care. It is sad to see so many preventable lives clogging up a system that has very little room to move.
Our Desexing Program supported by our Kitten Club Program HAVE the solution to reducing the cat population kindly, humanely & in a way that is supportive to the cat, our wildlife, the owner & our community.
There are not many easy answers or easily implemented plans to improve animal welfare in our community, but this program is certainly A KEY place to start. Desexing saves lives in more ways than you can imagine.
THERE IS SO MUCH VALUE TO WHAT WE DO. Raising money to fund OUR PROGRAM is a high priority for us to grow and succeed.
It takes a village & we would welcome you into ours. If you can support us in any way get in touch via email or phone.

The benefits of cat desexing
Cat desexing plays an important role in controlling population growth, which alleviates both pet overpopulation and the strain it puts on animal welfare organizations. Desexing a cat can also eliminate a range of physical and mental health risks that come with breeding and mating.
A “Free” Kitten?
Free Kittens are often the ones that are left with no vet care essentials or in the hands of the wrong people. Never give a kitten away to people you do not know or to people not in a position to pay the huge costs of the veterinary work that must be done. Choosing to...
