A Rainbow Lorikeet attacked by a cat. | Safe Cat, Safe Wildlife The number of wild animals that cats kill is astronomical. We estimate 95% of animals we rescue have been injured or affected by cats. There is a simple solution, keep your cats indoors or in an outdoor enclosure. This will not only keep wildlife safe but keep cats safe as well while still allowing them play and explore. Cat owners can install barriers along their fences to stop them escaping for as little as $200. When outdoors, even when contained, use bell collars.

It is not wildlife safe if you can poke a small finger through the net. - Only use netting with a mesh aperture (hole size) of 5mm x 5mm or less |

Feeding adult wildlife bread means their young can be born with disabilities since they are not receiving the correct nutrition, alternatively, feeding the young bread could cause them health issues as they are not getting the correct meals from their parents. Mince meat does not contain protein or calcium and can cause serious deficiencies. |
