Legislative News
*** Update --- 31/12/2022
 
* Proposed Puppy Farm Amendment to Companion Animals Act (AJP) 
Breeders dodged a bullet on this one as it was voted through to the Lower House with days to spare before NSW Parliament closed. The Bill will need to be reintroduced after the NSW Election in March 2023, and then it starts all over again. 
 
** DPI Breeder Licence Scheme **
Outcome is that a report has been issued but no decision has been made about the next steps. 
 
** Proposed Animal Welfare Policy 2021 **
Current outcome is that the Proposed Animal Welfare Policy is not tabled again until the Draft Regulations have been issued & stakeholder consultation has been completed.
 
NSWCFA members can get involved in discussions via our Members Only Facebook page.

Responsible Cat Ownership

NSWCFA promotes responsible pet ownership and all members are required to adhere to State legislation when homing their cats or kittens. It is important that cats are not overbred and that kittens born be selectively placed into caring, permanent homes.
