At RSPCA NSW, we love cats! And we believe every cat deserves a safe and permanent home, away from the elements, with a family who loves and cherishes them.Â
2 in 3 cat owners have lost a cat to a roaming-related accident, which is why we created the Keeping Cats Safe at Home campaign, encouraging those who have a cat in their lives to keep them safe from harm at home.Â

Though many cat owners’ joke about feeling like they live to serve their feline friends, cats still rely on us to feed them correctly and ensure they’re cared for and safe at home.
Taking care of a canine companion is a huge responsibility. To maintain their happiness and health, dogs need a balanced diet, daily exercise, training and enrichment, and veterinary care.
Many rabbits enjoy being patted and handled, especially if they were introduced it to the feeling at a young age. Rabbits are sociable animals, so consider keeping more than one, but ensure they are both are desexed to avoid any unwanted litters.Â
As some of nature’s friendliest, quiet animals, many animal guardians find caring for a guinea pig to be an incredibly fulfilling experience.Â
Fish are very popular pets due to the sheer variety and colour they can bring to our homes. A finned forever friend can be an endlessly fascinating pet. However, it’s essential for potential guardians to do plenty of research to maintain and improve the longevity of their fish.

As a charity, we rely on a generous network of donors and supporters to provide any training, treatment, supplies, and rehabilitation our animals may require.

Your contribution, no matter how small, can provide our animals with ongoing support, giving them a better chance at enjoying a good quality of life.Â
Even if you aren’t in the position to donate money to RSPCA NSW, you can support our shelters and adoption centres by providing our teams with essential animal supplies. Our shelters keep a wish list of items such as bedding, towels, and toys – items like these are always in need and greatly appreciated by our animals and staff. Â
