Have your say on cat management

The City of Onkaparinga is undertaking a survey to learn how many cat owners are currently containing their cats, and the extent to which respondents are experiencing issues with uncontained cats.
 
The council is also keen to hear the community's views on the best way to manage cats, considering the effectiveness and cost of regulation versus education. The survey covers:
  • containment of owned cats
  • limits on cats
  • registration fees for cats
  • preferred approach to cat management.

You can have your say at the council's Your Say page until Sunday 13 October, where you'll also find important information about the roles of governments in managing cats, the City of Onkaparinga's current approach and advocacy to the state government for a statewide approach to cat management, and the challenges involved with tackling the issues of roaming cats.

If you need support transitioning your roaming cats and kittens to be safe, comfortable, and happy indoors, please visit the Roam to home website for a step-by-step guide.
