The Feline Health Research Fund has funded research every year since July 2007.
It relies on tax-deductible donations from clubs and associations, breeders, professionals and cat lovers to provide its research grants.
Donations fund grants for research that will materially improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cat diseases in Australia now and into the future.
Fund Trustees are industry professionals and cat lovers who contribute their time to improving the health and lifespan of Australia’s domestic cats.
Our government-registered charity was originally set up by associations and cat lovers to promote domestic cat health in Australia and we need your help to continue the good work.
If you can help by publicising our work, making a small regualar donation or starting a collection., we would love to hear from you and acknoweldge your assistance.
