Invasive Species

Feral Cats

Feral cats threaten the survival of over 100 native species in Australia.

They have caused the extinction of some ground-dwelling birds and small to medium-sized mammals.
They are a major cause of decline for many land-based endangered animals such as the bilby, bandicoot, bettong and numbat.
Pet cats kill 30–50 times more animals per square kilometre around towns than feral cats do in the bush.

Solution? Keep your cat in an outdoor run and/or indoors.
