National Feral Cat & Fox Management Coordination

Working together to effectively manage the impacts of feral cats & foxes on Australia's unique wildlife, lifestock & human health.

The Perfect Storm: irresponsible pet owners dump kittens they can't give away. Kittens turn feral. Seen on camera at possible bilby burrow where threatened numbats, woylies, chuditch, stone-curlews also seen. WA Councils can't bring in containment laws.

Happy International🐈Day! We want to celebrate all the responsible #petcats owners. Desexing, microchipping, providing toys, play, love, spots to rest, litter trays & stopping roaming is best for cats, keeps them close to enjoy & reduces angst & costs. Here's to good pet owners!

In May our National Coordinator lead a feral cat session with Southern Gulf NRM in Cloncurry as part of their Feathered Futures project, helping protect threatened birds in NW QLD.

🎧While there Gill spoke with ABC NW QLD about feral cat impacts.

Habitat restoration is a great way of protecting wildlife, increasing native vegetation and reducing hunting by introduced predators like feral cats and foxes. It is important to not plant weedy species, and for greater success control rabbits (deer, pigs, goats) and weeds.

🌳 It’s #NationalTreeDay! Before you plant, consider:
🌱 Are the trees truly local & native?
🌿Have you prepared the site for success and controlled weeds and rabbits 🐇
Effective revegetation starts with smart prep. https://t.co/NJmMZ93GoH

After great effort, Phillip Is. was declared #fox free in 2017, protecting the island's wildlife e.g. penguins & bandicoots. In April, 40 yrs after going extinct, a cool critter with extreme camouflage & eerie call was reintroduced, the bush stone-curlew.

Happy National Tree Day 🌱🌳 Help us protect our native wildlife from hunting introduced #feralcats & #foxes by planting shelter. Planting local natives, mixed trees, shrubs, grasses & understory species provides habitat for our native animals & insects.

A recent paper by NSW DPIRD & a Nth NSW farmer reported local high fox numbers in response to lambing. 21 foxes shot in 1hr in 1.4 km² & 11 over next 5 days highlights strong attraction lambs are to foxes. Effective fox management protects lambs & wildlife

Introduced #feralcats & #foxes impacts 33 X native predators! @AridRecovery show native animals ⬆ after rain, spread out & repopulate areas where they ⬇ in drought. Cats & foxes stop booms & recolonisation. We must manage 🦊😾to protect our wildlife.

Pet cat containment isn't about demonising cats, they make great pets, or singling out cat owners. It is about protecting pet cats from disease & injury, protecting urban native wildlife, & bringing cat ownership into line with all other domestic animals.

[National Feral Cat & Fox Management Coordination @NFCFMC]

Impact on native wildlife & pets of urban foxes is trickiest to manage. Fox numbers are highest in cities like Perth, Melbourne & Sydney. Perth councils are getting together to try a coordinated management approach to protect native urban wildlife like turtles, bandicoots & birds

[Adin Lang @lang_adin]

As Chair, I'm hopeful this unprecedent approach from Perth South West will create a framework for the entire Swan Coastal Plain and give our unique fauna a fighting chance.

@Eco_JourneyN We are focusing more on what people are or can do, rather than the impacts of feral cats and foxes, if that is what you mean? We will have some case studies from different parts of Australia, and how to use management tools effectively.
