Require a licence to breed and sell cats and introduce statutory guidance

Petition Details

Introduce a licence for cat breeding and provide additional funding to councils to investigate unlicensed cat breeders. We also think there should be statutory guidance about breeding cats, as with dogs.

Additional Information

Currently cat breeders only need a licence if they have a commercial business. Breeders can sell kittens for over £1,000 each. Some have several litters each year and could be making huge amounts of undeclared income. We are also concerned that local authorities don't have the resources they need to investigate cat breeders.
