Cat owners urged to play safe, so everyone can win

At Council we’re animal lovers and with an estimated 50,000 domestic cats living on the Northern Beaches, there’s every reason to want to keep them safe (through all nine of their lives).

Yet according to RSPCA NSW, 2 out of 3 cat owners have lost a cat to a roaming-related accident, and 1 in 3 to a tragic car accident!

That’s why Council is encouraging cat owners to keep their pets indoors to protect wildlife and keep cats safe from motor vehicles hazards.

Council is partnering with RSPCA NSW on their Keeping Cats Safe at Home program.The innovative four-year education project  is funded by the NSW Government to encourage cat owners to adopt a safe-at-home lifestyle, protect their favourite feline from outdoor threats and reduce their impact on native wildlife.

If your furry friend is dear to you, then Council would love to see an image of him or her reclining in their natural environment (the lounge room of course).

To enter, all you have to do is to capture your cat or kitten living their best life at home in a great photograph.

Enter our competition to win one of ten $1,000 vouchers to spend at catnets.com.au. If you win, you can build your cat a dream enclosure at home, ensuring they’re a connoisseur of comfort for many years to come.
