Purr-fect upgrades

Cats looking for their forever home will be waiting in greater comfort after an upgrade to the enclosures at the wat djerring Animal Facility.

The upgrade replaced the facility’s old wooden laminate cat enclosures with 150 new PVC foamed panel enclosures, which are easier to clean and more comfortable for their occupants.

City of Whittlesea CEO Craig Lloyd said the transition to more modern cat enclosures was an important investment.

Located at 20 Companion Place, Epping, the wat djerring Animal Facility is managed by the City of Whittlesea in partnership with the Darebin and Merri-bek councils.

Every animal that enters the facility is scanned for a microchip and each council’s animal registration database is checked to help identify the animal and reunite it with its owner.

The facility also offers animal adoptions and welcomes inquiries on 03 8401 6200 or at wat djerring Animal Facility.
