Cats in Australia are responsible for the deaths of an estimated >2 billion animals per year. To protect wildlife, we must ensure stronger government action to reduce the impact of feral cats and roaming pet cats.
How To Help | Take Action
By this time tomorrow, an estimated 8 million animals would have been killed by the millions of feral and roaming pet cats in Australia. And the vast majority are our native Aussie battlers, some on the path to extinction.
To win government action, we need to show governments pet cat containment and effective action on feral cats is popular.

We want to ensure every state allows the full suite of feral cat control tools, so that land managers have the best chance of driving down feral cat numbers. Roaming pet cats are also diminishing local populations of birds, small mammals and reptiles. We need to ensure Australia’s 4.9 million pet cats are kept safe at home and not allowed to roam.
Please show your support by taking the pledge today. Your pledge will be one of many that shows widespread support for action on cats to protect our wildlife.
Cats have already driven 27 native animals to extinction since colonisation and now threaten at least 124 more native species at risk of extinction.
To save the surviving bilbies, numbats, night parrots, and all of the other native animals we love in this country, we must act urgently. We must ensure governments strengthen their efforts to protect wildlife from cats and we must build more support across Australia. Put your paw on the map by taking the pledge.
