Organisation Summary

Maneki Neko Cat Rescue believe that improving the lives of cats goes hand in hand with strengthening the communities in which they live. While rescue and rehoming remain at the heart of their work, they recognise that many people face barriers in accessing affordable veterinary care, desexing services and practical support for their companion animals. They also understand the important role cats play in providing comfort, companionship and connection for individuals and families.

Maneki Neko Cat Rescue’s long-term vision extends beyond rescue alone. They are committed to exploring opportunities to work alongside veterinary professionals, animal welfare organisations and community agencies to develop collaborative, evidence-based approaches that improve access to care and support responsible cat ownership. By fostering partnerships, sharing knowledge and advocating for innovative solutions, Maneki Neko Cat Rescue hope to contribute to healthier communities, reduce unnecessary surrender, and help people and their cats remain together wherever possible.

Maneki Neko Cat Rescue believe that lasting change is achieved through collaboration, compassion and a commitment to addressing the underlying causes of cat overpopulation and vulnerability. Through this approach, they aspire to create better outcomes for both people and animals across Victoria.
