Petition background

Introduce stronger legal protections for all cats across the UK, including clearer duties to help injured cats, scan for microchips when cats are found injured or deceased, and ensure deceased cats are handled responsibly and owners are notified where possible.

Additional details

Cats are beloved family members,yet gaps in the law can leave them without adequate protection when injured,killed or found deceased.Owners deserve a fair chance of being reunited with their cats or informed of their fate.All cats deserve protection,whether indoors,roaming outdoors or walked on a lead&harness.If stronger protection means introducing stricter laws for cat owners,including responsible ownership requirements or roaming restrictions,then so be it.Cats safety&welfare must come first.
