Protect cats from the cold: require owners to ensure access to shelter indoors

This neglect can lead to avoidable illness, distress, and in some cases, death. Animal welfare charities including the RSPCA warn that cold weather can pose serious risks to cats.

Require all owned cats to be neutered
We call on the Government to introduce mandatory neutering for owned cats and to create legal protections and enforcement options to safeguard cat welfare. Cats are one of the most common pets in the UK, yet we feel they have far fewer legal protections than other animals.
