Madison Rogers appointed for advocacy, campaigns and government relations.
Cats Protection has announced its new head of advocacy, campaigns and government relations as Madison Rogers.
A key member of the cat welfare charity since 2017, Madison was an essential part of the successful campaign to introduce compulsory microchipping of cats, a measure which the Government announced would be introduced in England.
Madison discussed the work Cats Protection does: “There are 10.8 million owned cats in the UK, with just over a quarter of all households owning one, and it is Cats Protection’s role to speak up for all of them.”
Helping to launch the organisation's Purrfect Landlords campaign, Madison has been an integral part of Cats Protections' current work, and is greatly passionate about its mission.
She continued: “We campaign on a large number of issues, from giving renters the right to own cats to banning snares and calling for licensing of air guns.
“As an animal-loving, modern society, it is important that animal welfare features highly on the political agenda.
“Over the past few years, we have seen a lot of encouraging developments, especially in relation to compulsory microchipping of pet cats, and we are inching closing to renters being given better rights over pet ownership.
“However, there is much more that can and should be done, and I’m looking forward to continuing our work with politicians and stakeholders on important issues affecting cats and the people who care for them.”
Alongside her Cats Protection role, Madison is an executive committee member of the Women in Public Affairs Network, which empowers women to apply for senior roles within the industry.
Outside of work, Madison looks after Moodles, a former Cats Protection rescue cat that she adopted, and is a Girl Guide leader.
