Is your cat de-sexed?
If your cat is four months or older, it is a good idea to get them de-sexed. De-sexing will help your pet stay healthy and avoid unwanted litters.
Starting from 1 July 2020, cats older than four months and not de-sexed will need an annual permit obtained from Council, Service NSW or online at www.petregistry.nsw.gov.au
This is a new requirement under the Companion Animals Act 1998.
If you have a pensioner or healthcare card, subsidised de-sexing is available. The fee includes free microchipping and vaccination. For more information about subsidised de-sexing, call 0417 223 556.
The Companion Animals Act requires residents to have their dogs and cats microchipped, and pay the lifetime registration fee. Microchipping and registering your pet helps protect your pet if it's lost, hurt or stolen.
For all companion animal microchipping and registration details, including payment options, please refer to the Office of Local Governments website.
You must change the registration details of your pet if you move house.
Local vets and animal welfare organisations may offer discount rates, so shop around for the best price on microchipping. Council also holds special days where you can get your pet chipped.
