Perth's Cat Haven in overcrowding crisis

Perth's Cat Haven is in crisis after being overcrowded with unwanted and stray felines.

The charity has more than 320 cats on site and another 550 in foster care that will soon return to the shelter.

Spokeswoman Chandra Woodley said Cat Haven was running out of options.

"We are asking people to postpone surrendering their cat as we just don't have room," she said.

It comes as two hungry kittens and their mother were dumped in a rubbish bag at a lake in Atwell.

Cat Haven is caring for the pets and hopes to adopt them out when they are old enough.

"Sadly at this time of year, the height of kitten season, many poor mother cats and kittens are dumped all over the Perth metro area in parks, industrial areas, laneways, et cetera and they nearly all end up at our shelter," she said.
