Cat carers wanted

Coastal Paws Rescue is looking for foster carers on the Peninsula for cats and dogs.

"The Peninsula foster carers are overrun with cats and kittens at the moment," said carer Ms Christine Pirie.

"There are so many cats and kittens being killed every week and the breeding season doesn't seem to be over yet with more kittens being born every week.

"We currently have two adult cats, four half-grown kittens and 10 little kittens all requiring homes."

A female cat and her kitten were rescued recently when they were abandoned after a family vacated a rental property in Palm St, Ettalong.

The kitten and its mother were treated for fleas.

"Our organisation needs foster carers for cats and dogs," said Ms Pine.

"If you are an animal lover and have room in your family for an extra animal or two on a short or long-term basis, please get in touch with us so we can save more lives," said Ms Pirie.

"As a carer, all you have to provide is love and a home environment.

"We reimburse for any food or veterinary expenses."

With inquiries, phone Christine on 0414 868 185.
