CAT PROTECTION SOCIETY OF NSW

The Cat Protection Society of NSW is a non-profit organisation that has been dedicated to protecting and improving the welfare of cats since 1958. With a focus on promoting responsible pet ownership and providing care and shelter for cats in need, society has become a beacon of hope for feline lovers across the state.

Benefits of Spaying and Neutering Cats

There are many reasons to participate in feline desexing programmes from Cat Protection Society NSW. From improved health to fewer stray kittens on the street, desexing benefits everyone—especially the cats.

Desexed cats are often more settled, less aggressive, and easier to care for. They’re less likely to fight, escape, or develop hormone-related health problems. Neutered males are calmer and more affectionate, while spayed females won’t suffer the stress of repeated heat cycles.

The wider benefit, of course, is reducing the number of homeless cats. Every year, thousands of unwanted kittens are surrendered to shelters or abandoned. Desexing your cat ensures you’re not contributing to this growing problem.

By taking part in our programmes, you’re helping build a more humane and sustainable future for cats across NSW.

How Our Cat Desexing Scheme Works

Our feline desexing programmes from Cat Protection Society NSW are easy to access and designed to be as simple as possible. Here’s what to expect:

• Apply for assistance online or over the phone.
• Provide your details, including your location and income (if applying for subsidised desexing).
• We’ll refer you to one of our participating veterinary clinics.
• Book your appointment directly with the clinic.
• Take your cat in for their scheduled desexing.
• Receive follow-up advice and care tips from our team.

All cats must be microchipped before surgery. If your cat isn’t yet chipped, this can be arranged as part of the appointment. Vaccinations are also encouraged to ensure your pet stays healthy and protected during recovery.

We’re happy to guide you through any concerns, from preparation to aftercare. You’ll never feel alone in the process.

Why Early Desexing is Recommended

Early desexing is safe and effective. It’s often easier for young cats to recover, and they adapt quickly after surgery. Many vets now recommend desexing at four months old. Waiting too long increases the risk of unplanned pregnancies and behavioural problems.

Our feline desexing programmes from Cat Protection Society NSW strongly support early intervention. We also offer advice on timing and recovery, so you feel informed at every step.

Desexing at the right time helps you avoid unwanted behaviours like yowling, spraying, or aggressive play. It also keeps the community safer by reducing feral cat populations.

Supporting Responsible Cat Ownership in NSW

The Cat Protection Society NSW is committed to promoting responsible pet ownership across the state. Desexing is a vital part of that commitment. Through education, support, and action, we aim to reduce the number of cats in shelters and on the streets.

We understand that life can be unpredictable. If you’ve taken in a stray, found a litter, or need help with your own cat, we’re here for you. Our feline desexing programmes are backed by a team that genuinely cares about you and your pet.

By choosing to desex your cat, you’re doing more than protecting their health—you’re making a conscious choice to support animal welfare.

What Makes Our Programme Unique?

Many organisations offer desexing services, but feline desexing programmes from Cat Protection Society NSW stand apart. Our programme is built on decades of experience and a deep understanding of cat welfare.

Here’s what makes us different:

• We focus solely on feline welfare.
• We work with vets who share our values.
• Our services are ethical, caring, and community-focused.
• We assist low-income households without judgement.
• Our advice is practical, honest, and based on real experience.
• We support each adopter and carer, before and after surgery.

Our work isn’t motivated by profit. Every programme we offer is part of our mission to give all cats a better life.

We’re Helping Communities Statewide

We support individuals, families, and community groups throughout NSW. Our desexing programme reaches both urban and regional areas, and we continually work to expand access.

In some rural communities, access to affordable veterinary care is limited. That’s why we collaborate with local councils and clinics to bring services to those who need them most.

If you’re part of a rescue group, school, or community organisation, get in touch. We can help set up group bookings or provide educational materials for schools and public events.

What to Expect After Surgery

• Your cat may be drowsy for a few hours
• Provide a warm, quiet space for recovery
• Avoid rough handling or play for a few days
• Keep the wound clean and dry
• Prevent licking or scratching of stitches
• Contact us if you notice anything unusual
