25.01.2022 We'd love to say a huge thank you to Linda and Keithia for their continued support and donations! We had this amazing donation of enrichment, recycling, toys, treats, food and much more brought to us here today! Donations such as these really help us provide tip top care and fun enrichment for our animals! Thank you to everyone in our community for continually supporting and donating to us! We really appreciate all the help :)

25.01.2022 STORM WARNING As we move further into summer, storms are becoming increasingly common. It's a great idea to prepare a storm plan for both yourself and your pets. Read the below article for more information on storm preparation: https://www.rspcaqld.org.au//storm-phobia-among-dogs-and-o... Your pets may suffer from 'Storm Phobia', "Some pets can sense coming storms long before humans can, which means they can go from placid and comfortable to agitated and timid very quickly." Which is why it's important to have a plan ready to keep yourself and your pets safe and comfortable.

23.01.2022 A fabulous blep from Tallulah AID 1239834

23.01.2022 UPDATED ADOPTION PROGRAM FOR IPSWICH As you may have noticed in recent months, our adoption page has been filled with lots of wonderful adoption cats, but none of our dog and puppy friends. After many months of evaluation, we have made the decision in the interest of animal welfare to move dog adoptions from our Ipswich location. All public services including the intake of stray dogs, cruelty cases and holds, remain the same. ... Our Ipswich facility cares for an incredible number of cats and in comparison only a handful of dogs at any one time. Even before this decision, every dog in care at Ipswich requires transfer to our Wacol facility for veterinary treatment and behavioural testing before finally being returned to Ipswich for adoption. Sadly, due to the low number of dog adoptions in Ipswich, many of these dogs wait for far too long in our care and are subsequently are transferred back to Wacol once again for a better chance at a happy home. By making the decision to have Ipswich dogs move to and stay at our Wacol facility, the dogs are being provided a better shelter experience with lowered stress levels and they're finding happy homes faster. Meanwhile, in Ipswich we can increase and better the care of our cats as a result of this reduced movement, nose and stress. We will continue to care for all animals in the best way we can. *Edited 13/11/2020 to provide further insight into this decision and its impact on the animals in our care.

10.01.2022 ENRICHMENT TIME Did you know the RSPCA recommends that cats, like little Tallulah here, stay ‘Safe and Happy at Home’? The idea that all cats need to roam outdoors has changed; many owners now provide a safe and suitable environment for their cat at home all day, every day. This keeps them safe from outside dangers like accidents, harm to wildlife, illness, impoundment and more. ... ‘Safe and Happy at Home’ means providing your fabulous feline friend with all the essentials like food, water and a nice bed to sleep on, but also enrichment! Enrichment is a great way to keep your kitties entertained and engaging in their natural behaviours. There’s lots of different ways to enrich their indoor lives, whether that be with a food game like the one Tallulah is partaking in, or even just having a good play session with toys! To read more about our ‘Safe and Happy at Home’ recommendations, have a peek through this website! It’s super helpful: https://safeandhappycats.com.au/
