Sunny Days began in 2017 and runs a self funded rehab shelter for stray cats in Lara, halfway between Melbourne and Geelong, Victoria.

90% of the animals rehomed through Sunny Days are rescued and rehabilitated ‘true stray’ cats; cats who’ve grown up wild, with very little or no experience with humans. To our knowledge there is no other rescue group or shelter in Australia specialising solely in the medical and psychological rehabilitation of stray and feral cats, and we hope to show it can be done :)

Our aim is to rescue, humanely rehabilitate and appropriately rehome cats and kittens who would otherwise be ignored, hit by cars, baited, euthanised or die alone of illness or hunger. We see each cat as an individual, requiring it's own individualised rehoming program and the right type of home for their level of rehab and temperament. We also provide support to local cat owners who require assistance to desex and provide a safe home for their cat, and actively work with the community, vet clinics and other industry professionals to decrease the stray cat problem.

Why cats?

The domestic and stray cat breeding problem is a gap in the companion animal welfare system that is under-resourced, under-educated, and not being addressed at a pace that can keep up with the numbers of cats being born. What little current methods of managing the issue there are, are a bandaid to an ever growing and ever concerning community issue that has a negative impact on responsible cat ownership, native wildlife, over-full shelters, shelter and vet performed euthanasia, and perpetuates the giving away of animals online. We feel if cat owners are provided adequate resources, education and advice, the cat breeding problem can be dramatically reduced. We believe animal welfare and government organisations have a responsibility to create and deliver tools to make this happen.

Please support us in our important work. We are currently registered as company limited by guarantee and in the process of getting our our Not for Profit status so we can apply for philanthropic funding, along with a Domestic Animals Business permit to make our facility a registered pound/shelter. Although we don’t officially have non profit status we actually run at a loss due to the type of animals we take in - mostly terrified cats who need months if not years of care, and often hundreds more in medical treatment than we can adopt them out for. And that’s not including our shelter running costs of about $1600 p/month. We fund this excess out of our own pockets because we believe the cats deserve a chance. If you could help us cover some of these costs we’d be hugely grateful! Please see below for ways you can contribute <3
