Donating or Bequeathing? Why us?

Neonatal Kitten Rescue Hobart was started in 2019 by a small group of passionate people who discovered that kittens under 400g were routinely euthanaised at intake by RSPCA and Cat management. At this time there was no specialised neonate rescue in Tasmania for companion animals.

It wasn’t just that a job that needed doing wasn’t being done, it was that the community was being lied to that activated us. Most people assumed that if they found a tiny kitten and took it to a rescue it would in fact be rescued. They were led to believe that was the case when it wasn’t.

Honesty, integrity, transparency and caring for the most vulnerable animals became the things that forged Neonatal Kitten Rescue’s mission.

We are totally volunteer run. No money goes to pay wages or rent.

We publish our figures annually at changepath.com.au

Every single animal that comes to us gets an intake post on our facebook page so you know who they are and can follow their journey. Every single animal who dies or is euthanaised by our vet because their condition is deemed untreatable is shared on our facebook page so that you know exactly what happened.

We are a No Kill Shelter. We are the only No kill Shelter in Southern Tasmania that publishes animal numbers. No kill means that every animal receives the vet care they need no matter the cost. That means that all issues are investigated by a vet, difficult surgeries are performed and lifesaving treatments are administered. No kitten is refused treatment if they need it.

Once we discovered all the issues that caused neonates to need our help we set about preventing them or solving them. Read more here

We receive no government funding, and although adoption fees cover some of our costs we work hard to fundraise and rely heavily on the generous support of the community who donate time, money, supplies, equipment and property that we can always put to good use for the sake of the kittens.

We believe that we work for the community to care for the animals. We are answerable to you and to them.

All our financial information is published on the ACNC website where you can search any charity before you donate.
