As the holidays approach caring for our pets goes hand in hand in caring for the local wildlife.
Bushland blocks can be a killer kitties fast-food service so if you’re filling a birdbath make sure you’re not filling your felines tummy as well.
According to the Australia Wildlife Conservancy a cat can take 5-30 animals a night. Keeping your cat in at night can reduce the number of kills it makes by half.
The LT Creek Sustainable Neighbourhood Group was concerned about the impact of carousing kitties on the local wildlife and has created a brochure to encourage residents to protect our fauna and responsibly care for their feline friends.
The brochure outlines the many benefits to keeping kitty under control; they avoid being road-kill, or stolen, getting into fights and remain healthier.
Also covered are general care tips, legal responsibilities, cat and wildlife management and desexing advice the brochure can be downloaded from the Sustainable Neighbourhoods website.
