Kittens grow rapidly, so monitoring their body condition is important for optimal health.

A healthy kitten should have ribs that are able to be felt but not prominent, a slight waist when viewed from above, and a small amount of tummy fat. They should feel firm and muscular, not bony or with a swollen belly.

Regular weigh-ins at home or at the clinic are a great way to track their development during those crucial early months. 🐾

💡 Keep an eye on your kitten's body condition as they grow. Contact our clinic if you'd like help assessing your kitten’s body condition.

⚠️Toxic blue-green algae bloom confirmed in Mareeba (near Emerald Creek & Biboohra).

Sharing this information, to make sure everyone is aware before the long-weekend. As the authorities have only just been notified yesterday.

Following a series of unexplained illnesses and deaths in animals, environmental samples were submitted for testing. Results have confirmed the presence of cyanobacteria (Phormidium species) in affected areas.

* Fatal Dose: A tiny amount, such as a single teaspoon of toxic Phormidium mat, is sufficient to kill a 25 kg dog, often within 30 minutes to a few hours of consumption.

* Attractive Smell: The mats have a musty odor that is highly attractive to dogs.

* Mechanism of Death: Anatoxins act as neuromuscular blocking agents, causing paralysis, respiratory failure, muscle tremors, convulsions, and foaming at the mouth.

It can appear as a green or blue-green paint-like film on the ground or in shallow water, or as algae mats with water sitting over the top.

As a precaution, keep pets and livestock away from any suspicious algae or water sources. Avoid direct contact where possible.

When there is an abundance of warm, stagnant water and high amounts of phosphorus and nitrogen from sources like agricultural runoff or untreated sewage, cyanobacteria blooms can take place. The frequency of extreme weather events may make these blooms more likely. This Phormidium species has previously been detected in Millaa Millaa, but this is a first for Mareeba.

Relevant authorities and local veterinary clinics have been notified. But please make sure to let any friends & family know if they’re travelling to the area over Easter with their pets.

URGENT: Cat/Kitten Carer Needed Mareeba (Animal Rescue Tablelands)

Animal Rescue Tablelands Inc in Mareeba is urgently seeking a new cat/kitten foster carer to take over from our current carer who had dedicated her time over the past few years. This is a volunteer position, and we provide absolutely everything you need to get started.

You will receive:

Outdoor enclosures

Litter trays

Carriers

Cat toys

Scratching poles

All supplies needed for fostering ready to go

There is no cost to you. ART covers:

All food

All vet work

Ongoing flea, tick, heartworm and worm treatments

At the moment, we have 6 kittens and 1 adult cat needing care. They are fed twice a day, and litter trays are cleaned twice a day. You can also spend time sitting with them, talking to them, and helping them socialise, they absolutely love the company.

Sadly, if we are unable to find a new cat/kitten carer by the 30th of April 2026, we will have no choice but to pause all cat and kitten rescues and temporarily remove cats from our Last Litter Program, as we cannot continue these services without a dedicated carer in place.

All you need is some time and a big heart.

If you can help, please message our page or call Sandy on 0487 430 443.
