A Promise to Catbury tells the moving true story of Catbury — a six-month-old chocolate-brown kitten from Ulverstone with a purr like an outboard motor and personality to match — who fell victim to an act of cruelty that's hard to believe anyone could commit. RSPCA Tasmania inspector Frank Bingham made a solemn promise to Catbury's family that this cat would never be forgotten.
Written by Frank Bingham, this is a deeply personal account of animal welfare work in Tasmania — part memoir, part call to action — and a testament to what one person's care and commitment can mean for the animals in our community.
An out-of-print Tasmanian title with genuine local significance. The story of Catbury still resonates today: in 2021 the Tasmanian cat welfare organisation Ten Lives named a sponsored vet care program in Catbury's memory.
Ideal for: animal lovers, RSPCA supporters, Tasmanian history collectors, anyone who works in animal welfare.
