G2Z National Cat Action Plan
This G2Z Discussion Paper proposes a way forward to achieve national consistency in effective domestic cat management and welfare strategies in Australia. (Feral cat management will be addressed in a separate process).
It aims to generate feedback for the development of effective common approaches to domestic cat management and welfare across Australia, acknowledging some differences in approaches may be needed between urban and rural or remote communities. As states and local governments managing companion animal legislation are at different stages, it is not anticipated that commonality can be achieved simultaneously. However the benefits of achieving agreement across stakeholders nationally on a common direction should help reduce inconsistencies over time. This paper therefore offers a proposed way forward as a starting point for response and constructive suggestions from all stakeholders.
The objectives of this National Cat Action Plan are:
1. To seek agreement on the need for common legislation which make it easier for communities to understand and is better for the welfare and management of domestic cats.
2. To work towards effective breeding legislation and policies in line with an ethical approach that improves the well-being of domestic cats, other animals, and communities.
