Protect cats from the cold: require owners to ensure access to shelter indoors
We are concerned that every winter, many cats are left out overnight, exposed to freezing temperatures, frost, and snow.

Require shelters & temporary housing providers to allow pets for homeless people
An estimated one in four people experiencing homeless has a pet – not just a companion, but a lifeline. Yet many hostels exclude them, shutting out people who may rely on them most.
Introduce mandatory neutering of non-breeding cats
Introduce legislation requiring neutering of non-breeding domestic cats, with exemptions for licensed breeders and cats with certified medical reasons.
Pets need protection during emergency evacuations
An animal welfare advocate is calling for government legislation to create an Emergency Pet Evacuation Protocol allowing people to bring their pets when fleeing danger.
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.
