Introduce the mandatory neutering of cats by 6 months of age.

Petition Details

We are calling on the government to introduce the mandatory neutering of cats by 6 months of age unless they are registered as licensed breeding cats. Some animal charities are being overwhelmed with abandoned cats and kittens.

Additional Information

I am a volunteer Neutering Officer and see first-hand the problem the uncontrolled breeding of cats’ causes. Our branch is continually taking in unwanted cats and kittens because their owners can no longer afford to care for them. This can place a large financial burden on charities having to provide interim care and cover veterinary costs before rehoming. I believe that mandatory neutering before six months is the only way to tackle the current problem.
