* 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.

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.
