Thylation Information

Thylation enables conservation through innovation. Feral cats represent the greatest threat to many Australian wildlife species. They have been implicated in at least 27 mammal extinctions across Australia and currently threaten more than 100 native species, including mammals, lizards and ground nesting birds. They not only prey on endangered wildlife but transmit diseases to pet cats, wildlife and humans, where the annual health cost of cat-borne diseases are estimated at over $8B a year in Australia. Ubiquitous across most Australian habitats feral cats are often indistinguishable from ranging pet cats which complicates control options. Feral cats are notoriously difficult to control as they are reluctant to take baits or enter traps, particularly when prey, such as small native mammals, are abundant. All cats are fastidious cleaners that groom regularly. Thylation took advantage of this natural grooming behaviour by developing and patenting the Felixer, a novel, humane and automated tool to help control feral cats and foxes. Thylation group of companies consists of Thylation Foundation (charity registered with ACNC), and Thylation Commercial (Operations and R&D).
