🐾 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 — 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This outdated law currently prevents local Councils from setting and enforcing cat containment policies, leaving cats to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.
💥 Make a difference – three easy options:
✅ Option A (quick & easy):
Use the Invasive Species Council’s free writing kit – they’ll send you a ready-to-go email template. 🔗
Register here
✍️ Option B (most impactful):
Write a short email in your own words explaining why you believe cat containment is essential.
📧 Email: ca.review@olg.nsw.gov.au
📝 Subject: Companion Animals Act Review
💡 Ask for:
Statewide 24/7 cat containment laws
Mandatory desexing by 4 months
$9 million+ in support for Councils and education campaigns
📄 Option C (official form):
Review the discussion paper and submit feedback via the online submission form on the Office of Local Government site. 🔗 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. 🐨🦉🐾
