Supporting people to provide safe, healthy homes for their pets delivers social and economic benefits for animals, their caregivers, the housing sector and the wider community.

When families have access to the right information, early support, and practical assistance, issues can be addressed before they escalate and ultimately strengthen outcomes for people and pets.

Easter is a joyful time filled with family, food, and fun 🐰

For our furry friends, it can be unexpectedly dangerous time. So as tempting as it may be to include your pets in the hunt for Easter eggs, please keep chocolate eggs and other hazards well out of reach 👋

Enrichment supports an animal’s wellbeing by allowing them to express natural behaviours while staying mentally and physically stimulated. This can include cognitive, dietary, physical, sensory and social enrichment, and mixing things up is important.

When enrichment is limited or repetitive, it can lead to boredom and behaviour challenges such as anxiety, aggression, depression, excessive vocalisation, loss of appetite and isolation.

For more enrichment ideas and DIY guides, visit our cat resources section on our website below 👇
