For Perthies...
The Cat Haven is once again looking for foster carers, feel free to pass on to anyone who you think might be able to help:
"Although it seems strange with the sunny weather we've been having, Cat Haven is in the midst of yet another nasty cat flu outbreak and we are facing putting to sleep beautiful, re-homable cats just because they are sneezing! Cat flu is very much the same as human flu (though definitely not transmissable to us!) and simply requires a few weeks of TLC and a chance for some rest and receuperation, something we unfortunately just don't have the facilities for here. That's why our wonderful foster carers can actually save a life simply by caring for a cat for a month. You don't need a big house or any special facilities - the cats honestly won't mind spending all their time in a spare room or laundry if that's all you can offer - anything is better than the alternative! Consider the situation we were in yesterday; 29 cats showing flu symptoms and only 16 spaces in which to house them. It just doesn't add up. While you are fostering one of our beautiful kitties we provide everything you need including food, kitty litter and bedding, plus we have a vet on-site 7 days if you do have concerns at any point. We are really quite desperate at this point in time and anyone who can help will, without doubt, be saving an animal's life. If you are able to assist, please please contact Freedom on 0403 152 991 or 9442 3618."
