The number of unwanted cats and kittens in Tasmania is growing.
We can attribute this to:
- the cost-of-living pressures people are facing,
- an aging population of people downsizing their properties and seeking supported care
which excludes companion animals, - the growing awareness about the differences between cat colonies and feral cats and the
opportunities for a positive impact on the reduction of colony cats by bringing them into care at an early age, - changes to legislation have restricted multiple cat ownership. As a result, more people are seeking assistance to comply with the new rules by surrendering their cats for rehoming.

Â
Here’s what you need to do:
- A person needing to surrender fills in a cat surrender form on our website.
- We operate a ‘managed intake’ model and will work with those needing assistance as we are able.
- We are not a Cat Management Facility, but hold a Multi-Cat Permit.Â
- Cats and kittens are surrendered to our Animal Care Centre at 108 Tarleton Road, Spreyton.Â
