We can have pet cats and native birds…
There is a lot of concern about cats harming our wildlife; our focus is on domestic cats.
Cat Owners Education NZ – COEdNZ
We want to do something effective about cat management. Something that engages with our young eco-warriors; something that will make a difference. Something that might help communities work towards a peaceful solution to a common problem.
NO ONE likes being lectured or told what to do.
Let our cats TELL US what THEY need to lead happy lives, without posing a threat to our wildlife.
How about a cheery little song???
COEdNZ is developing resources for community-based cat owner education campaigns.
Our resources will be available FREE to community conservation groups and schools for education campaigns on domestic cat behaviour management. If this is you, we want to hear from you NOW!
If you are a cat owner, find out what our cats think you need to know by clicking on the link below. Maybe a local community group might like to support a campaign? Maybe you can run it?? It is probably the easiest conservation work you can do!
our cats
Our cats are being created by Jenny Cooper, a talented award-winning book illustrator. Jenny is now working on finished art work. Our first cat is now fully rendered, Jeff, graphic designer, has produced a flyer, poster and newspaper ad layout.
