🐾 NSW Companion Animals Act Review – Have Your Say! 🐾

🐾 NSW Companion Animals Act Review – Have Your Say! 🐾

🚨 Submissions close Sunday, May 4, 2025 🚨

After years of advocacy, the NSW Government is finally reviewing the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998 β€” and your voice is urgently needed to help protect our native wildlife from the impacts of free-roaming pet cats.

🦘 Why it matters:
This outdated law currently prevents local Councils from setting and enforcing cat containment policies, leaving cats to roam, kill native wildlife, and spread diseases like toxoplasmosis. It’s time for a law that reflects modern expectations of responsible pet ownership.

πŸ’₯ Make a difference – three easy options:
βœ… Option A (quick & easy):
Use the Invasive Species Council’s free writing kit – they’ll send you a ready-to-go email template.
πŸ”— Register here

✍️ Option B (most impactful):
Write a short email in your own words explaining why you believe cat containment is essential.
πŸ“§ Email: ca.review@olg.nsw.gov.au
πŸ“ Subject: Companion Animals Act Review

πŸ’‘ Ask for:

  • Statewide 24/7 cat containment laws
  • Mandatory desexing by 4 months
  • $9 million+ in support for Councils and education campaigns


πŸ“„ Option C (official form):
Review the discussion paper and submit feedback via the online submission form on the Office of Local Government site.
πŸ”— Submit here

🌿 Every submission helps push for change! Let’s keep native wildlife safe, support responsible pet ownership, and empower Councils to act. Please share this widely. πŸ¨πŸ¦‰πŸΎ
