Acting at the Source
Five Measures to Prevent Feline Overpopulation
In Québec, feline overpopulation is now visible across all regions and affects animals, shelters, and communities alike.
Solutions already exist and have proven effective in many contexts.
All Together for Our Community Cats highlights five simple and complementary measures to address the problem at its source, prevent abandonment, and support the work of shelters and organizations working on the front lines.
These proposals are part of a responsible and sustainable approach based on collaboration between citizens, municipalities, and governments.
Mandatory Spaying and Neutering of Owned Cats
Spaying and neutering owned cats is one of the most effective ways to prevent feline overpopulation. A clear framework across Québec, combined with affordable options, would help address the problem at its source.
Free Spaying and Neutering of Stray and Community Cats
Cats living outdoors continue to reproduce unchecked. Providing free spaying and neutering for stray and community cats across Québec would sustainably reduce births and improve their well-being.
Financial Support for Municipalities
Municipalities play an essential role in managing feline populations. Financial support from the provincial government would help implement effective and sustainable spay-neuter and responsible adoption programs.
Sign the Petition
A Formal and Structured Approach
The provincial petition accompanies The Great Walk. Signing the petition supports concrete measures to address feline overpopulation at its source in Québec and brings this citizen mobilization directly to public decision-makers.
Petition closing date: April 11, 2026
Public Awareness and Collective Responsibility
Prevention also begins with information. Public awareness campaigns can help people better understand the causes of feline overpopulation and remind everyone of the responsibilities that come with adopting and caring for a companion animal.
Mandatory Identification of Cats
Microchip identification makes it possible to quickly trace owners and helps reduce abandonment. Making this measure mandatory would strengthen accountability and make it easier for animals to be returned to their homes.
Five cities. One voice.
