About ICAM

ICAM (International Companion Animal Management) Coalition

ICAM supports the development and use of humane and effective companion animal population management worldwide.

As a coalition of international animal welfare organisations, we are committed to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of humane companion animal population management globally by exchanging views, experiences and evidence on the basis of accountability, confidentiality, trust and mutual respect.

Our Vision

A world where companion animal and human populations live together harmoniously.

Our Mission

To act as one voice providing effective and evidence-based guidance to promote the humane management of companion animal populations worldwide.

Background

ICAM was formed in 2006 as a forum for discussion on global dog and cat management issues. It is a registered charity (CIO Association) with the Charity Commission of England and Wales (Charity number 1192921).

The motivation to form a coalition came from the realisation that several of the main organisations working on companion animal management had similar views and ways of working, but no forum where arising issues could be discussed.

Management team

ICAM’s management team is comprised of the main funding bodies for companion animal population management globally and key specialist groups. The team is kept at a restricted size for efficiency.
