Did you know cats account for a heartbreaking 70% of the 100,000 healthy, rehomable pets euthanised each year in Australia, with outcomes for cats being four times poorer than for dogs? Sadly, black cats face the steepest odds at being adopted — waiting twice as long as ginger and tortie cats, with black kittens waiting 10 times longer to find homes. That’s why we’ve partnered with PetRescue Ltd for their 12 Cats of Christmas campaign, giving 12 long-stay black cats the second chance to find a home this festive season🎄😻 Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll introduce you to these beautiful black cats on our Instagram and Facebook pages. Each one adopted will go home with a Pet Circle gift pack valued at $225, including a Paws for Life bed, scratcher, bowl, and toys, plus Open Farm and Weruva food, and Instinctive Bite dental treats. Follow along, spread the word, and help these beautiful cats find the loving homes they deserve. For more details visit https://lnkd.in/gUPPZaX3

It takes a village to support the work that we do which is what makes this most recent collaboration between two of our existing community partners all the more special. Containers for Change QLD (COEX) have teamed up with Pet Circle to create the ultimate opportunity in recycling and fundraising all in support of Animal Welfare League Queensland. As a participating charity in the Containers for Change scheme, our organisation is fortunate to receive lots of tokens of support throughout the community and businesses who nominate AWLQ as the recipient for the donations from their containers. On the back of this and with the help of CoEx (Container Exchange) the wonderful Pet Circle team set up their own recycling collection points throughout their Queensland warehouse to encourage and allow their staff to donate their bottles and containers with all proceeds from the recycling being donated directly to AWLQ. When news of this collaboration reached the team at Browns Plains Bottles & Cans they generously offered to supply bins and facilitate collections of all the containers from Pet Circle ensuring the donations are allocated to Animal Welfare League Queensland. In addition to supplying all of these resources, a generous donation was also made to AWLQ on behalf of their recycling centre. Thank you to Pet Circle, Containers for Change and Browns Plains Bottles and Cans for being so generous with your support and appreciate the difference this will make to the animals in our care. #ThankYouThursday #CommunityCollaboration #AWLQ

Today Pet Circle held our yearly Technology Town Hall for our Engineering, Data and Product teams. It's a chance for the teams to come together, take a break from their daily routine and learn something new. A great day was had by all with lots of new ideas already forming and tools ready to be used. This year had a (not so subtle) theme of AI running throughout kicking off with an incredibly practical and eye opening AI Masterclass with Kelly Slessor, and in the afternoon we heard from our amazing partners and vendors commercetools, Vercel and Neo4j. A massive thank you to our sponsors Katana1, JumpCloud and CrowdStrike and to all those that presented and helped make it a fantastic day - Piotr Bukala Robert McColl Nick Coster Richard Zhang 🇦🇺 Emil Pastor Darren Wood.
