Long-time Erstwildians will know our longstanding love affair for all animals big and small, with cats no exception!
These furry little friends enrich our lives with so much joy, along with being a constant source of inspiration for us – so much so, we brought back five iconic Cat designs for our first ever range of Erstwilder Mini Brooches!
This new collection also presented the perfect opportunity to give back, which is why we are officially partnering with RSPCA Victoria. We’ll be donating $2 from every Minis Cat design sold on launch day Tuesday 16 February, in a bid to raise awareness and funds for cat adoptions, and help more cats find a forever home.
That’s why together with the RSPCA Victoria, we’re committed to addressing this and improving outcomes for our feline friends.
- Adaptable – cats fit into almost any lifestyle and make great mates.
- Perfect for apartments – cats will happily sprawl in almost any spot in a home.
- Children who have cats as a part of the family learn responsibility and experience empathy, assisting in their development.
- At less than $2.00 a day* including healthcare, food and accessories, they are an affordable friend
- The purr of a cat has a calming effect on humans – making them great for mental health.
All RSPCA adoption animals are health and behaviour checked, de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date with flea and worm treatments, which is all included in their adoption fee.
