Kindness. Compassion. Action.

Our Mission

At Project Meow, our mission is to reduce cat overpopulation through desexing, education, and ethical, community-based solutions.
We believe that real change starts before cats end up in crisis, and that every cat, whether owned or stray, deserves compassion and care.

The health & behavior benefits for desexing your cat

• For females Ovarian & uterine cancer risk is eliminated as is the risk of pyometra and complications associated with pregnancy & birth. Desexing also reduces the risk of mammary cancer.
• For males desexing eliminates the risk of testicular cancer.
• Both females & males they can avoid fighting injuries like a bite abscess, reduce risk of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), feline leukemia virus (FeLV) or being killed on roads as they seek breeding opportunities.   Stresses involved with breeding diminish & your companion will have a healthier more relaxed existence.                                                                                                                                                                          It

It is such a great feeling knowing what you have helped prevent.  Every female desexed means a litter that will never struggle for food, safety, or a home — and that matters more than ever when finding homes for companion animals is harder than it’s ever been.

And let’s not forget him — the roaming tom. He can sire dozens more kittens than any one female could ever have in a year… he just doesn’t have to bring them home. Desexing him stops the cycle before it spreads.

Every cat we desex creates a ripple of change across Geelong’s feline landscape — fewer kittens born into hardship, more space and care for those already waiting.

We’re deeply grateful each time we can fund another desexing procedure — but we can’t do it alone.
Desexing costs are $260 for females and $150 for males, including a free microchip if needed.

Please consider donating — whether it’s a small amount, the cost of a full procedure, or simply by sharing our mission.

You don’t have to be a cat lover to see the truth: desexing is the simplest, kindest, and most humane solution.

In less than two years a female cat, her mate, and their offspring can create numbers that only continue to explode without the intervention of desexing. Imagine the consequences overpopulating brings to an area with multiple cats doing this.

Cats, their owners & our community rely on this program to help end the breeding cycle for cats.  Cat breeding can happen extremely fast overpopulating areas right under our nose at home, in our own street, on our block or in our suburb.

This has an extremely negative effect on all local Wildlife, our Animal Welfare & Animal Rescue organisations including council Animal Management. With less cats living a wild street life we protect our wildlife. Keeping intake numbers to a minimum in our pound, shelters & rescue groups save those organisations precious resources and reserves safe space for those cats & animals in need of their care. It is sad to see so many preventable lives clogging up a system that has very little room to move.

Our Desexing Program is supported by our Kitten Club Program, we HAVE the solution to reducing the cat population kindly, humanely & in a way that is supportive to the cat, our wildlife, the owner & our community.

The implementation of desexing programs is a key place to start.  We need to see more of them, and more support for the desexing clinics and programs like ours motivated by the problem we have all been exposed to.  

THERE IS SO MUCH VALUE TO WHAT WE DO. Raising money to fund OUR PROGRAM is a high priority for us to grow and succeed.  If you would like to get involved with our fundraising team or support us in any way, please get in touch via email.  It takes a village & we would welcome you into ours.
