Animal rescues across the country are overwhelmed, with many unable to take in more cats and kittens. We believe the Government should introduce a national strategy to reduce cat overpopulation by expanding access to affordable neutering, supporting rescue organisations, improving public education on responsible pet ownership, and reviewing measures to reduce irresponsible breeding and abandonment, helping to improve cat welfare nationwide.
