For Sorell Council residents living in Midway Point and surrounds
Sorell Council, TassieCat, Ten Lives and Hobart Community Veterinary Hospital are partnering for a Free Cat Desexing Program for Midway Point residents who live near the Pitt Water-Orielton Lagoon Ramsar site. Priority will be given to residents who live in close proximity to this area, with residents of other areas within the Sorell Municipality considered based on availability.
Background of the Midway Point Project: TassieCat, Ten Lives and Sorell Council have collaborated on the Midway Point Project to gather essential baseline data on cats within the community. The project aims to promote responsible cat ownership, enhance cat welfare, protect native wildlife and reduce the intake of unwanted animals into Ten Lives.
The survey conducted in Midway Point pleasingly revealed a high rate of cat desexing but also highlighted a critical gap in access to desexing services due to financial hardships. This desexing program aims to assist financially burdened families and mitigate the animal welfare, social and environmental impacts of uncontrolled cat populations.
