‘Kitty Cam’ an internet sensation

There is a pervasive and popular belief in Australian shelters that people don’t ‘like’ cats – that Australian’s are ‘anti-cat’ – or that people have no interest in their welfare. This thankfully, is nearly entirely incorrect.

Not only do we know people have compassion for Community Cats, they love their pet cats too. And they don’t only want to see happy and playful shelter cats – but they are almost pathological in their love of them

The Kitty Cam site has been visited over 20,000 times and has been trending on Twitter all day. It was featured in the Sydney Morning Herald for going ‘viral’. Unfortunately they’ve neglected to put a big fat donate button on it to turn these visitors into supporters, but regardless, it is a lesson to us all – it doesn’t need to be complicated; it just needs to be about people’s love of pets.
