Cat Protection Society of Victoria is one of Australia's largest cat welfare organizations.
The Cat Protection Society of Victoria was established in 1947. Throughout its history, the society has had extensive and continuous experience in cat management and pound/shelter operation. In 1989, our Greensborough shelter was substantially renovated and upgraded and the facility is now of exceptionally high standard.
Our objective is promote responsible cat ownership, and to provide community education and information about cats, their value and benefits as a companion animal, and their needs.
SPECIALITY
We were instrumental in founding the Cat Crisis Coalition to lobby government at all levels to introduce compulsory de-sexing for cats as part of an holistic solution to the cat overpopulation problem which sees thousands of healthy cats and kittens put down across our country each year.
Our mission is support in principle appropriate cat welfare initiatives in other states, nationally and internationally.

Do Lilies pose a threat to my cats health?
Lilies are extremely poisonous to cats. Signs of poisoning cat include vomitting, blindness, paralysis, renal failure, coma and death. It is not only the ingestion of the plants that can cause problems, brushing past the flower and then grooming the pollen from the fur can result in the cat getting sick. It is wise to avoid lilies in cat households.
What is cat flu?
Two types of cat flu are vaccinated against (FHV-1) and feline herpes virus. These viruses are very common and vaccination will protect your cat against prolonged illness. There are however many different strains of cat flu viruses so even after your cat is vaccinated the threat will not be fully eradicated.
How do I stop my cat getting fleas?
Fleas often affect cats, even meticulously clean ones, because the eggs can survive in the environment for a very long time. Fleas can be present all year round especially in milder climates. The good news is that they are easily prevented and treated using the very effective flea treatments now available from vets.
What diet should I feed a cat?
Cats are carnivores (meat-eating animals) and should not be fed a vegetarian diet. Also avoid feeding a cat dog food as it doesn't contain the correct nutrients for felines. Nowadays, commercial cat foods are specially designed to meet a cat's dietary needs and provide all the nutrients they need. Kittens, pregnant and lactating queens have specific nutritional requirements.
How do I spot ear mites?
An infected cat or kitten will scratch his ears, shake his head and sometimes damage the skin on his ears and temples. Ear mites live on dead skin, inside the ear and brown wax will be seen in the outer ear. Treatment is required to eliminate them so it is one of the best to take your cat to the vet.
Can cats get sunburned?
Like humans cats will burn in strong sunshine and white and pale coloured cats are most at risk. If you have a pale coloured cat it will pay to sunblock his or her ears and nose, the two areas most likely to burn. Use a waterproof, no-toxic sunscreen which your cat cannot lick off and reapply the cream throughout the day. Always provide a shady retreat for your cats.
What vaccinations does my cat need?
Your cat will need protection against feline enteritis and cat flu. Depending on your circumstances he or she may also need vaccination against feline Leukeamia and chlamydiphilosis.
Will my cat get fat and lazy?
De-sexing your cat does not make it fat or lazy, only a lack of exercise or too much food will do that. De-sexed cats have longer, happier, healthier lives and do not roam. A de-sexed cat lives on average for 15 years compared with an the average life span of an entire cat of 3 years.
