Cat Rescue Service

Cat Haven employs a Cat Rescue Officer who is skilled in cat handling and available to assist members of the public and Local Government Authorities in rescuing stray animals. Our Cat Rescue Officer has assisted with trapping and collecting abandoned cats and kittens; rescuing cats and kittens caught in dangerous places such as drains and chimneys; collecting cats from hoarding situations; and providing advice to Rangers and the general public regarding cat handling to minimise the risk of injuries to people and the cats.

By using our Rescue Service we can reunite or rehome the cat to a loving home. We will check if the cat is microchipped and contact the owners if so, we have a large chance of finding owners of cats that are not microchipped through our lost and found page.

If no owner comes forward we will rehome the cat through our shelter to find them a new home.

I have found a stray cat

Stray animals are the responsibility of the local government. If you find a healthy and uninjured stray please contact your local government, click HERE to find their contact details.

If you find an injured, sick or cat that is in immediate danger, please contact us on 9442 3600 (our phone lines are open 10am-4pm daily) or email us at admin@cathaven.com.au to arrange for our professional cat rescue officer to come out to your property.

Residential Properties

If you have found a cat at your residential property please contact your local government first, as it is their responsibility to help stay animals in residential areas. If they are unable to help you please contact us on 9442 3600 (our phone lines are open 10am-4pm daily) or email us at admin@cathaven.com.au to arrange for our professional cat rescue officer to come out to your property.

Please note: This is a fee based service to cover the cost of this service as we are a charity - please check when you book the Cat Rescue Service with our reception staff.

Businesses

If you are a business looking for help with stray cat/s on your property please contact us, our Rescue Service pricing is lower than hiring pest control businesses to help you, the welfare of the cat is our number one priority. It's a much better outcome for the cat to be brought in to our shelter than to be left to fend of itself or cause ongoing problems in the area. This helps the feral cat population issue and means less cat fights, less kitten breeding and better feline disease control, and of course is a much better life for the cat.
