Tasmanian Cat Management Project is an initiative to support the implementation of the Tasmanian Cat Management Plan and improve domestic and stray cat management across Tasmania. Key to the project is a network of three regional cat management coordinators hosted at Cradle Coast NRM, NRM North and NRM South. The coordinators deliver long-term goals for the project, which are to improve responsible cat ownership and management and minimise the impacts of cats on priority environmental, agricultural, and social assets. 

To increase public awareness the project has established an educational and entertaining marketing campaign called TassieCat. TassieCat provides all the necessary information on how to improve the happiness and welfare of your cat, whilst also protecting our local wildlife and community. There are a few key steps to becoming a responsible cat owner:

  • Microchipping your cat and identifying it as a pet using a collar and ID tag.
  • Desexing your cat to prevent unwanted litters.
  • Keeping your cat safe at home to prevent nuisance and predation of wildlife.
  • Keeping your cat healthy by annual vet visits and providing lots of enrichment.
  • No abandoning any unwanted cats but surrendering them to a cat management facility.
  • Not feeding any unowned cats.

To find out more about how you can keep your cat safe and happy visit the TassieCat website or the TassieCat Facebook page.
