Who is ACA?

ACA is a national incorporated association representing the interests of all animal hobbyists. Led by a strong committee composed of representatives for each major animal group – as pictured and outlined above. To find out more about how ACA is representing your favourite animals simply follow the links above.

Why ACA

ACA was established as an independant animal welfare organisation, by uniting experienced animal keepers, carers and breeders. Extreme animal rights and animal liberationist ideologies have been influencing government legislation, regulation and policy development & implementation, without proper consultation, at the expense of you and your animals. We are here to provide a trustworthy, balanced voice – protecting you and your animals.

Lilies can kill catsDid you know Lilies are toxic to cats? Ingestion of the lily flower is very serious and can be fatal. All parts of the lily are toxic. This means any small amount of the stem, flower, leaves, or pollen ingested can potentially cause lily toxicity in cats. Cats can even ingest this unintentionally by brushing against a lily flower and causing traces of pollen to fall on the cat’s coat, only to be ingested later through grooming.If you think your cat has ingested lilies or you witness your cat chewing or licking on any part of the plant (including pollen), go straight to your vet regardless of whether your cat shows signs of illness. Initially your cat may vomit and then appear normal but it can take 24-72 hours for lily toxicity, which causes severe renal failure, to develop. This will be fatal if untreated or if treatment is delayed.Many florists and cat owners are unaware of the toxicity of lilies.For a full list of flowers that are not toxic you can go here: catprotection.org.au/cat-care-factsheets/factsheet-cat-friendly-flowers/?Animal Care Australia supports responsible pet ownership: www.animalcareaustralia.org.au/structure/responsible-pet-ownership/Join us today: www.animalcareaustralia.org.au/join/You can donate to us here:www.animalcareaustralia.org.au/donate-to-aca/#AnimalCareAustralia #EducateNotRegulate #AnimalWelfareIsAnimalCare #WelfareIsNotAboutNumbers #AnimalRightsIsNotAnimalWelfare #AnimalsMatter #PuttingAnimalsFirst #HumanAnimalBond #PetsAreFamily #CareForAnimals #ResponsiblePetOwnership #ResponsiblePetBuyer ...

I’m not an Easter present.You are all of my lifetime.Looking for a new pet? Be a responsible pet owner!When considering a new pet always research the needs of the animal you’re interested in.• Consider the cost – purchase price, ongoing feed, vet care, health needs and more.• Will they be breeding? • How should they be housed? • Does your Council allow them to be kept in your area? Ensure you know the laws and regulations in your state or territory including keeping & breeding codes that may apply to your pet. If you are going to breed them – be a responsible breeder. Remember responsible pet ownership is not just about feeding them. It’s about recognising that you are responsible for them for the rest of their lives. Be a responsible pet owner and enjoy your pets. Make their lives a part of your life!
