Toxoplasmosis, a parasitic disease spread by #cats, not only causes abortions in women but can reduce male fertility. These impacts have been seen in humans, rams, mice & rats. Implications of cats (feral & "farm") on sheep might be higher than thought. theconversation.com/a-common-paras…

Sometimes non-food lures work better than food to bring #feralcats into traps.

The May edition of the National Foxy Cat newsletter is out. Yet another jam packed edition of news, events, tools, & info. This month's Project Snapshot is in the Grampians with Project Platypus & out & about with Southern Gulf NRM.🦊😼🦜 mailchi.mp/invasives/fera… Photo: Agvocate_Au

Foxes are tough & determined. Chicken coups & pet runs/hutches need to be strong. Remember #foxes dig. 🦊numbers are highest in urban areas. ⬇️access to food to ⬇🦊 populations & impacts. Secure bins/compost, bring in pet/bird food, pick up fruit, provide shelter for wildlife.

😾🦊 Feral cats & foxes are driving Australia’s extinction crisis—threatening 120+ species & causing 28 mammal extinctions. We're taking action with science & citizen tools like #FeralScan 🌐 Get involved 🔗 loom.ly/n_es__E 🔗 loom.ly/Jnmh6vw #PredatorControl

Something Landcare means to us too! Managing weeds has always been on Landcare's agenda. Managing pests is more & more common, which is fantastic for our env & ag. Over 367 of our native animals are highly susceptible to #feralcats & diseases impact sheep, goat & poultry farmers

Foxes dig up nests, eat eggs & baby turtles & even adults if they can. This means that many of our turtle species don't have enough young to replenish populations. Effective #fox mgmt is key! Find out how:🐢 feralcatandfox.com.au pestsmart.org.au 1millionturtles.com/fox-management…

Many of our native animals are 👎impacted by #totalpredationpressure, combined hunting by introduced & native predators. Species like bandicoots are more able to avoid native predators, because they evolved together. But less so with introduced ones, like cats, #foxes & dingoes.

Canid Pest Ejectors are a useful device for fox mgmt. The trigger allows for a more targeted delivery of a lethal dose of 1080 or PAPP. They are secured to the ground & the toxin is in a capsule so it doesn't break down like baits. Click on Agvocate link below to see it in action

Predation pressure on lambs and adult sheep has also seen farmers forced out of sheep grazing into cropping.

Desexing, microchipping & keeping #petcats safe at home means your loved pet is likely happier, healthier & lives longer. In SA the Dog & Cat Mgmt Board has provided funding to help those in need desex & microchip pets. Safe pets, safe families, safe wildlife & happier neighbours

Lisette Mill found feathers & a scent lure distracts off-target species from interacting with Canid Pest Ejectors. While #feralcats activating a CPE might be ok, stopping roos, wallabies, ravens activating them (without harm) means they are there for foxes youtu.be/P86jjtxz9ZA?si…

Out feral cat trapping with Lilydale Landcare. First thing caught… a devil 😍 Competition between introduced predators like #feralcats and native predators such devils and quolls can be an issue for native predators.

Just because you don't see #foxes, doesn't mean they aren't there. 1 paddock of ewes & lambs 6 foxes shot in 1 walk with thermal gear. Thermal equipment is a game changer & helps remove foxes that avoid eating baits in broad scale mgmt programs or in areas that can't be baited.

Carnaby's, Baudin's & Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos are endangered. A study by Mawson et al. found #feralcats killed Carnaby adults, chicks & eggs in nest hollows/boxes. In 2024, during drought & low prey almost 25% of breeding attempts were impacted publish.csiro.au/pc/pdf/PC25019

🌱💼 Job alert 💼🌱 We are seeking Field Officer to join our incredible the southeast team. This position supports the day-to-day management and overall operation of our Scottsdale and Tarcutta Reserves in NSW. This is an exceptional opportunity to make a very real contribution

These feisty cuties are 1 of our native carnivores. Weighing in at 60g they should be hunting for insects & birds throughout Sth Oz woodland. Loss of hollows, habitat & predation by #foxes (ground) & #feralcats (trees & ground) mean few are left. #thisiswhywemanagecatsfoxes

Feral cat poo 101. They don't bury it. It's a territory marker. Usually grey & polished. Finger lengths with fur, wool, feathers, teeth of prey & crushed bone sometimes seen. Carrier of toxoplasmosis & tapeworms. If able, bury it deep & set cat control near.

Great news! This will help Northern & Yorke Landscape Board’s Marna Banggara project where they are having great success working with SA Department for Environment & Water, Landcare Association of SA, farmers, & community to manage #feralcats & #foxes impacts on threatened species such as the #malleefowl. 🦆🦜🦎🐸🦘
