Cats and the Law - A Plain English Guide
The collaborative group of animals charities and organisations working on cat health and welfare, The Cat Group, has recently published a new booklet entitled 'Cats and the Law - a plain English guide'.
The guide is a summary of current law relating to cats, primarily the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and its introduction of a positive obligation to promote and observe animal welfare in companion animals. The guide also summarises the law on the keeping and care of a cat, issues relating to the sale or theft of cats and damage either caused by or caused to a cat.
