CatRescue stall at PetFest

We'd like to thank Lyn Wilson, Jo Cunningham, Mandie Carter and Cath Martin THANK YOU!

CatRescue was very fortunate to have this stall, we were approached out of the blue a couple of months ago by amazing volunteers who wanted to run a stall for us. The volunteers organised our public indemnity and gift baskets to sell at the stall, raising over $1500 to help the many needy cats that we deal with.

Whilst we were on the stall, we helped birth a pregnant stray (never a dull moment!), fended off packs of dogs who loooooved the cat suit and got over 40 signatures for our petition for mandatory desexing.

Importantly, we got to talk to the general public about our programs and raise awareness of the issues facing cats. We also hung out with the girls at Cat Protection (who rock!), the guys at DoggieRescue (we are not worthy!!!), council people (salt of the earth!) and a few other rescue groups that seemed a little taken a back!! 

To everyone at PetFest 2006 Thank you!!
