Complete the Cat Registration Form
Under the Cat Act (2011), cats six months and over must be registered with the relevant local government where the cat will ordinarily be kept, microchipped and sterilised. If a cat is found unregistered you could be fined $5,000.
Cats must wear a collar and their registration tag at all times in order to ensure that the cat can be easily identified, and we can contact you to return your cat.
The owner of a registered cat must ensure that when the cat is in a public place the cat is wearing its Local Government Authority registration tag or you could be fined $5,000.
Households are limited to three cats per property in the Town. Cat registration renewal notices are forwarded to cat owners in October each year.
