The cat distribution system



If you’ve recently found yourself with a new kitten – courtesy of a neighbour, a friend, Gumtree, or a mysterious meow under your house, you’re not alone.

The feline distribution system is alive and well, and cats have a funny way of choosing their people.

However your kitten arrived, we’re thrilled for you.

At Animal Aid, we don’t judge how a cat joins your life – we just want to help you give them the best future possible.

That starts with desexing.

Unplanned litters are one of the biggest reasons shelters like ours stay full.

We know most people don’t intend to contribute to the issue.

It’s just that without the behind-the-scenes view, it’s hard to grasp how serious and widespread it really is.

That’s where we come in – every time the community waits too long, we’re the ones caring for mums and kittens who shouldn’t have had to struggle.

Desexing your cat helps stop that cycle.

It prevents future litters and improves your cat’s health and behaviour.

Microchipping and registration also make sure your pet is safe and always finds their way home.

If you’ve been chosen by the feline distribution system, welcome to the club.

Now let’s work together to keep the system kind and sustainable – for every cat.

Call us a call on 8756 1300 if you are interested in making an appointment to give your cat or kitten the best future.
