Mandate neutering of free roaming pet Cats

Petition Details

Many cats live outdoors unneutered, making it difficult to trace ownership or determine whether a cat has been lost or abandoned. This lack of identification can leave cats vulnerable to neglect, suffering, and uncontrolled breeding.

Additional Information

Mandatory neutering of free roaming pet cats would reduce unwanted litters, improve welfare, and support responsible ownership by ensuring cats can be identified and protected.

Every signature helps strengthen the call for a more humane and accountable approach to cat welfare in the UK.
