Thanks to a grant from the Victorian State Government, Murrindindi Shire Council is offering a free desexing, microchipping, worming, vaccination and registration package for valid Pensioner Concession Card holders in our community who care for any cat, whether owned or stray.
Council's Purrfect Care Program aims to reduce cat overpopulation and address the issue of feral cats by making desexing services free to pet owners who need it most
Feral cats threaten the survival of native wildlife in Murrindindi Shire and are a major cause of decline for many land-based endangered animals across the country, including the bilby, bandicoot and numbat.
A major contributing factor to the feral cat overpopulation problem is people feeding unowned cats but not taking full ownership or responsibility for them. The Purrfect Care Program will help prevent unwanted litters, ensure lost cats can find their way back home, minimise diseases and promote responsible pet ownership.
Eligible Pensioner Concession Card holders are encouraged to submit an online application before 6 December 2024 through the form below.
