“Rescuing Cats from the Perils of the Streets” was the original aim of the Cat Welfare Society when it was established in 1961. Thanks to the efforts of dedicated staff and volunteers over many years, it has grown to become Western Australia’s primary cat welfare organisation.

Cat Haven, WA’s largest shelter for homeless, lost and abused cats, shares the vision that every WA cat should be well-cared for and loved.

It works towards achieving this by providing:

• shelter facilities for lost, abandoned and stray cats;
• a foster care program that allows sick, injured and shy animals to recover in volunteers’ homes until they are ready for adoption; and
• a re-homing program at the Cat Haven campus as well as through a network of 23 external adoption centers across the metropolitan area.

Cat Haven takes in 7,000-9,000 cats and kittens every year and has a zero euthanasia rate for treatable, re-homeable cats. It has over 700 members, employs 55 staff and is supported by 71 volunteers who assist at the shelter and over 800 volunteer foster carers.
