Cats Act Information
In accordance with the Cat Act 2011, all cats that have reached 6 months of age must be:
- Microchipped;
- Sterilised; and
- Registered with the relevant local government.
Cats will be required to wear a collar and registration tag to ensure that owned cats can be easily identified and returned to their owner.
The Shire encourages responsible cat ownership and where possible, keep your cat confined to your property, especially at night.
The legislation requires that a person who chooses to breed cats must apply to their local government for a permit.
When a cat is sold, the seller must ensure the cat is microchipped and sterilised prior to transfer. If the cat cannot be sterilised due to its young age, a voucher must be issued to the new owner.
Cat traps are available to hire from the Shire free of charge. Please do not use your own cat traps. Please contact the Shire for more information.
