Janeen Treweek is by her own admission an avid dog lover – an unexpected revelation for someone who’s co-founded a successful Sunraysia cat rescue organisation. Mallee Cats was born from a sheer passion for animal welfare and a desire to help the ever increasing population of stray cats in the region. Danielle Wilcock spoke with Janeen about the organisation she founded more than two years ago alongside her niece, Kerry Hawkes. Picture: Ben Gross

JANEEN, a nurse of 20 years, and her niece Kerry are without question animal lovers.
