Stop air gun attacks on cats

If an air gun attack on a cat has happened near where you live in recent weeks, you’ll be directed to an email to contact your MP to let them know about it. If there hasn’t been an incident near you, you’ll be directed to our petition to encourage licensing on air guns.

Every year, a shocking number of cats are killed or suffer serious, life-changing injuries after being shot by an air gun. These attacks are random, cruel and can happen anywhere, from quiet villages to busy city centres.

In the wrong hands, air guns are lethal weapons. Yet in England and Wales, anyone over 18 can buy and own one without a licence. This is no longer the case in Scotland and Northern Ireland, where strict regulations ensure ownership of air guns is controlled. We now see around 90% of attacks on cats reported in the media have happened in England or Wales. We must protect cats and put an end to this.

We need your help to protect cats in England and Wales from being injured or killed after being shot with an air gun.

Enter your details to find out how you can demand an end to the needless deaths and injury inflicted on cats by air guns.

Please fill in your details below and if an air gun attack has taken place recently to a cat in your area, you will be directed to an email to send to your MP. If there hasn't been an incident near you, you'll be directed to our petition.
