About Safe Cat, Safe Wildlife

A join initiative between ZAA and RSPCA Australia

The Zoo and Aquarium Association (ZAA) has teamed up with RSPCA Australia and vets 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 an over-riding focus for all zoos, and that extends to the millions of cats in the households of our visitors and their communities.

ZAA is pleased to work alongside several of our animal welfare accredited members 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

We care about cats, big and small.

ZAA welfare accredited zoos, aquariums, and RSPCA Australia are experts at providing care and enrichment for cats big and small. Let us guide you in providing the best care for your feline friend.

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.

More than 60% of cat owners that we surveyed already keep their cats safe at home. Join them now and receive all the cat caring information you need – including secret tips – delivered direct to your inbox every other month.
