Sick and injured cats given voice by Paul Capsis in Cat Protection Society campaign

The Cat Protection Society is highlighting how much cats who are given a second chance can thrive in a social campaign dubbed with Australian singer Paul Capsis’ voice.

The one-minute video shows Bella, Jaffa, Johnny and Zac’s lives once they were a part of the Cat Protection Society as “special needs” cats.

#NineLivesNewtown is the hashtag associated with the fundraising campaign, encouraging people to buy a brooch for $39 over the counter at Cat Protection Society or $50 including postage.

Kristina Vesk, CEO at Cat Protection, said: “Every year we take in about 1,000 cats and kittens, but some really stand out.

“The stories of the cats featured on the brooches all end well because the cats have been adopted by loving people, but these cats have all had difficult times.

“Jaffa had a leg amputated, Husky had arthritis and Bella’s eye disease was so severe that both her eyes had to be surgically removed. But Bella bounced back and now shares her life on Facebook and Instagram. She and the other cats have all recovered from their challenges and gone on to enjoy full and happy lives.”
