About Us

The Campus Cat Coalition is a non-profit organisation dedicated to caring for the homeless cats living on The University of NSW property. The Coalition comprises UNSW staff, students, residents and community volunteers. Our mission is to carry out a maintenance program, which will allow managing and reducing the stray cat population on campus in the most humane way.

The Campus Cat Coalition provides a viable alternative to euthanasia by spay/neuter, vaccination, release, feeding and adoption of tame cats and kittens.

Cats and kittens are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated and either rehomed wherever possible or released back into their Campus territory where they are fed and monitored by UNSWCCC volunteers.

Unclaimed tame strays and any kittens are boarded or fostered until homes are found. No cats are euthanised, except as warranted by a veterinarian to relieve suffering.

Studies have proven that this method of control to trap/spay-neuter/vaccinate/ release is the single most effective and successful method of stabilizing, maintaining and eventually reducing the healthy feral cat colonies that live on Campus.

We endeavour to promote community awareness of the responsible care and treatment of animals.
