Cats, community and environment
We love cats. We want every cat to be safe, healthy and loved, with a home where their needs are understood and met.
Ten Lives works with cat owners, residents, councils and community organisations to create practical solutions that improve the lives of cats while supporting communities and protecting the environment.
How We Work
Ten Lives’ approach has developed through years of working with communities. We’ve developed a model and a suite of tools to support the communities that want to address cat management.
Community Projects
Every community is different.
See how Ten Lives is working with residents, councils and community organisations in Richmond, Sandford and Dodges Ferry.
Get Involved
Does your community have concerns about roaming or unowned cats?
Successful projects start with local knowledge, community involvement and partners willing to work together.
Safe Cat, Safe Wildlife
Learn about containment, enrichment and simple steps that can help your cat live a safe and fulfilling life.
Cats are an important part of thousands of Tasmanian families and communities. Helping cats live safely at home protects them from many of the risks of roaming and gives them the security, enrichment and care they need to thrive.
It also helps reduce unwanted breeding, neighbourhood concerns and opportunities to hunt native wildlife, creating better outcomes for cats, communities and the environment.
