CatRescue NSW limited,
PO BOX 847, 1675 Gladesville

CatRescue is a network of normal every day people . . like you, from all walks of life, who give up space in our own homes to rescue and rehabilitate abandoned and neglected animals.

We are more than 100 foster carers who foster 2-4 cats through to a new home and through volunteers that feed, clean and transport animals from rescue situations through to a final home. We never overcrowd and we always focus on the wellbeing of the animals and humans.

CatRescue is no kill, but we understand that this also brings heightened responsibility for the number of animals and capacity to effectively manage. For that reason we say no often to people who wish to abandon an animal and try and assist them through the rehoming process.

We are just like you. Volunteers don't get paid or funded, we are all volunteers. Equally, we fund the rescues and treatment though our own pockets and donations. You can do this too. We don't exclude anyone.

We believe in engaging with the entire community, not just animal welfare, we do this by running innovative and interactive marketing and awareness programs throughout Sydney. We are 100% focused on this goal and we will change the world so that animals do not die needlessly through man's thoughtlessness.

How we are funded - Funding comes from the CatRescue management team and donations from the general public. We would like to thank our bosses in our real jobs for keeping us on despite all the cat hair and scratches. All CatRescue staff are voluntary. A further 10% comes from appeals and trees that grow in the yard.

Some of the key people who make up CatRescue.


Legal and Legislation
	CatRescue is assisted by the 3rd largest Law firm in Australia and the NSW Law Society Animal Rights group. This includes some of the finest legal minds in Australia from top law firms with a focus on animal rights and the law to provide better quality of life and standards of care for animals. As a group that has such a high public face and is driving legal and industry change it is prudent to have smart advice in this area. Rescuing crosses many areas of law, from commercial and consumer through to legislative. We are very grateful for this support.


Marketing, communications and logistics
	Rachel - Press, pet of the week and Media relations. Rachel works at a tier one Law firm by day and is a jazz singer by night in the Sydney circuit. She was first introduced to CatRescue when saving a cat from a "crowded house" in the 44 degree heatwave, and now has taken up the vital role of media and pet of the week program manager. Rachel rocks and has been extremely valuable in the groups image development.
	Jac - Video and Television expert. Jac is the managing director of JAC Production, and has worked on most commercial TV shows over the last 10 years as well as music videos, sport coverage and commercials. Now she also tries to point a video camera at any cat willing to stay moderately still enough to video, advertising adoptable cats for CatRescue on YouTube. She is barely in control of a household that includes two spoiled, once-rescued cats that quite frankly own the joint.
	Sarah Barratt - advertising and photography Sarah found CatRescue when she needed help with a number of stray cats in her area after keeping a pregnant one for herself. She stuck around and now helps with the taking of the impossible "get me at my best side" cat photos. In addition she updates our listings on Petrescue. Some of the most amazing cat photo's we have seen have been created by Sarah and her trusty Sony!
	Sonja Holness - Communications. One of the hardest roles at CatRescue is managing the sheer weight of public enquiry we receive every day. We could not do this without the daily support of Sonja, who takes the many calls we receive and works out what to do with them. Without Sonja, we would not be able to find homes for so many cats!
	Fern - Director of traffic and Figurehead. Much can be said about Fern, she's been assisting CatRescue in managing the day today distribution of food to animals and colony groups for over a year now. Fern has been the CatRescue figurehead for some time now, and Fern was a prime motivation to starting CatRescue in the first place. We love Fern, she has a big fan club and a lot of friends!
SuperCarers and Program Managers
	Joanne and Jarrod Holmes - SuperCarers, Joanne Holmes has been with CatRescue for "ages now" and has been a major carer, sponsor and help when we truly need it. We would not have this organisation without Joanne and Jarrod's help. Jarrod and Joanes fearless detirmination to rescue animals has led them into often risky situations, which they face head on. Nothing stops them from this mission. We are very grateful to have them onboard.
	Jackie - SuperCarer, corporate engagement manager and minder of the very weird cats. Jacquie works at a Tier one professional services firm and has been instrumental in growing our image in the corporate world. Jacquie has also taken in a number of the "Funky Cats" with cross eyes and other cool issues! "Mate, if I win $21m on the lotto, we'll have one hell of a shelter"
	Tracey - SuperCarer, Marketing, "posh" cat rehabilitation, keeper of all things google. Tracey runs her own very successful marketing and services firm and brings to CatRescue a raft of negotiation, management and marketing skills. Tracey is our lead rehomer. "He got into the roof and then we only knew he was here coz all the food kept going missing"
	Priscilla - SuperCarer, Wild Cat expert and organiser. Priscilla is a project manager at a global IT Organisation and has extensive experience in animal management, project management and wild cats. Priscilla has dedicated herself to saving animals. "It dont care if I eat noodles for a month, we will save that cat"
	Jo - SuperCarer, Angry cat manager, transporter, player of guitar on the coming CatRescue hit single. Jo recently joined the CatRescue management team and threw herself straight in by adopting and rehoming cats. Jo has been vital support through the hard yards of the Kirribilli cats. "Feeling a bit chuffed, the wild ones are starting to walk around and play"
	Cath - SuperCarer, Transport and Wild Cat person. Cath was one of the original CatRescue supporters and has helped with a number of our campaigns and projects over the year. Cath's network of friends have been of vast benefit to the welfare of wild cats in the local colonies. "I dont know about that mother, she turned out to be a dad!"
