Petitsioon on adresseeritud: Minister For Local Government, Hon. Ron Hoenig MP, Jenny Aitchison MP (Member for Maitland), Kate Washington MP (Member for Port Stephens)

We call on the NSW Government to change the law and:

· Recognise stray cats as distinct from feral or owned cats

· Allow and support councils to hold, assess, desex, and rehome unowned cats

· Provide clear guidelines for humane, evidence-based cat management

· Stop the automatic release of cats back onto the street

Selgitus

In NSW, councils are interpreting current legislation to mean there is “no such thing as a stray cat.” As a result, unowned and often undesexed cats brought intopounds, vet clinics, or rescue services are being released straight back onto the streets.

This practice increases feral cat populations, contributes to wildlife predation, and leaves vulnerable animals without care or a chance at rehoming. It also confuses the public and forces vets and rescues into impossible ethical positions.

Täname teid toetuse eest, MyVets Irrawang and Thornton, Raymond Terrace NSW

It's animal neglect, they are not cared for on the street and create so much damage to the native wildlife. Undesexed animals released on the streets is not very smart!

Feral cat control, impact on native wildlife, more chance of cats being reunited with owners, chance to microchip and rehome strays.

Because stray cat numbers need to be reduced and controlled. This will help protect native fauna. Also a more humane method of controlling the cats.

I think it’s ridiculous to release cats back out into the environment. Like dogs they should be microchipped and released to owners. Also there is a huge risk with releasing into environment that they will become feral and destroy wildlife. This is already a huge problem with cats.

There shouldn’t be “strays” around, full stop! Animals were domesticated by humans, therefore we NEED to protect and care for these animals. For no fault of their own, they are also doing damage to our native flora and fauna, we need to protect them as well!
