Chrissie Swan is one of Australia's best-loved media personalities, and a self-confessed crazy cat lady. Her very first pet was a jet-black cat called Louie, adopted from Lort Smith.
"I love animals, especially cats. To be honest I'm a bit of a crazy cat lady! Animals just bring so much joy into your life and it makes me sad to think of animals that don't have loving homes or can't get the treatment they need because their carers can't afford it," says Chrissie.
Pet Protector
In 2017, Chrissie helped launch Pet Protector, our regular giving program.
Animals just bring so much joy into your life.

"That's what the Pet Protector program is about – protecting sick, injured and vulnerable animals. The program is amazing because even if you can't have a pet of your own, the ability to help someone else keep their pet, or provide treatment when they have run into trouble, is extraordinarily appealing. Becoming a Pet Protector is such an awesome idea, and I'm thrilled to be an Ambassador for the program," she says.
Regular gifts help us plan ahead, so we can be there for pets and their people all year round.
