Cats

On the 1 November 2013, the full Cat Act 2011 took effect and requires all cats that have reached six (6) months of age to be:

  • Microchipped; (proof required)
  • Sterilised (Proof required, unless approved by local government as a Cat Breeder, conditions apply)
  • Registered with the relevant local government.  Download an application for Cat Registration

Cats are required to wear a collar and registration tag to ensure that owned cats can be easily identified and returned to their owner.

The Cat Act 2011 requires the identification, registration and sterilisation of domestic cats, and gives local governments the power to administer and enforce the legislation

Please be advised the City is currently drafting a Control of Cats local law, for more information, please contact Community Safety- Rangers during Office hours.
