About Us

A joint initiative between ZAA and RSPCA Australia

The Zoo and Aquarium Association (ZAA) has teamed up with RSPCA Australia to help you keep your cat safe and happy. ZAA represents zoos, aquariums, sanctuaries, and wildlife parks across Australasia, who operate at the highest standards of animal welfare. Animal welfare is a key focus for all zoos, and that extends to the millions of cats in the households of our visitors and their communities.

ZAA works alongside several animal welfare accredited zoos and aquariums to bring you Safe Cat, Safe Wildlife:

  • Adelaide Zoo
  • Alice Springs Desert Park
  • Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
  • David Fleay Wildlife Park
  • Monarto Safari Park
  • National Zoo and Aquarium
  • Perth Zoo
  • Taronga Zoo
  • Territory Wildlife Park
  • WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo

With your help, we're building a community of cat owners who can provide their cats with long and happy lives by keeping them safe and enriched at home.

 

Expert advice, direct to you

ZAA and RSPCA Australia are experts at providing care and enrichment for all animals, including cats. We use science-based research to curate and deliver the best tips for you to create a happy, healthy life for your feline friends. 

A cat that has an enriched life and is kept at home is a safe and happy cat.

Keeping cats safely at home helps by giving our native wildlife more opportunity to thrive.

Around 46% of Australia’s endangered wildlife can be found in towns and cities (Ives et al. 2015).

Keeping cats at home helps by allowing our native wildlife to grow. Our beloved pet cats deserve the best chance at life – so does our local wildlife.

With the help of Safe Cat, Safe Wildlife, providing a safe space at home for a cat to thrive can be simple, fun and rewarding.
