Cat Management Plan 2023 A4 - v3 - SPREADS (002) - Flipbook - Page 5
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Cat Plan is to guide the
responsible management of cats in the
Camden local government area (LGA).
The Plan recognises the different roles and
impacts cats have in the community, ranging
from the benefits they provide as much-loved
companions to an introduced animal that can
pose a risk to wildlife.
1
All cats are the same species (Felis catus)
and for the purpose of this Plan are defined as
per the definitions from the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).
The RSPCA defines cats as either feral or
domestic and further separates domestic
cats into three sub-categories (owned,
semi-owned and unowned) based on a cat’s
relationship with humans 1.
