WISH Kitties has been advocating for the humane treatment of cats and companion animals across the Sydney metropolitan area for over 20 years — through rescue, rehoming, education, and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs.
WISH Kitties is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of stray, abandoned, and vulnerable cats. We provide localised TNR community programs and support services to improve feline welfare across Sydney's eastern suburbs and surrounds.
We work across the full spectrum of animal welfare — from street to home — with a focus on humane, evidence-based approaches that make a lasting difference for cats and the communities they live alongside.
Six interconnected programs make up our work, each supporting the others to give cats the best possible outcome.
We rescue cats and other animals in need across Sydney, providing veterinary care, foster homes, and the love they need to recover and thrive.
We actively facilitate and promote the desexing of owned pet cats and community cats — the single most effective way to reduce overpopulation humanely.
We match cats with loving forever homes, supporting both animals and adopters to ensure successful, lasting placements.
We educate the public on responsible pet ownership, the benefits of desexing, and the humane treatment of stray and community animals.
Our dedicated network of foster carers provides temporary homes for cats awaiting adoption — no experience necessary, just love.
We advocate at the community level for policies that reflect the humane treatment of all companion and community animals.
WISH Kitties is a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). You can view our full charity register profile, including governing documents and annual reporting, on the ACNC Charity Register.
Whether you're looking to adopt, foster, volunteer, or donate, there are plenty of ways to help cats in need across Sydney.
