This bundle of fur is among 200 cats searching for a new home.

RSPCA Victoria is attempting to find forever homes for 200 cats to make room at its shelters.

The animal welfare organisation is expecting thousands of homeless kittens to arrive at its shelters in coming months, with cats able to breed up to five litters during spring, summer and autumn.

In the past financial year, 4000 kittens
arived at the RSPCA, with most of the animals arriving between November and April.

To encourage as many people as possible to adopt a cat, the RSPCA will reduce adoption fees from $120 to $39 from Thursday, November 23, until Sunday, November 26.

Kittens under four months old will still cost $195.

Every cat available for adoption has been desexed, microchipped and vaccinated and had veterinary checks.

Cats will be available for adoption at the Epping Animal Welfare Facility, 20 Companion Place, and Sunbury Petbarn, 17 Horne Street.
