Cat Registration
As per The Cat Act 2013 (The Act) your cats must be micro chipped after they have reached the age of 6 months. The Act specifies that all cats must be registered; wear a collar with owner’s name, address, phone number and have a current registration tag. Should you require micro chipping prior to reregistering the cost to microchip your cat at any GEOvet Branch is $45.00.
This law aims to:
- Promote responsible cat ownership
- Reduce the nuisance to the community caused by cats
- Limit the damage to and the loss of wildlife caused by cats
All cats over the age three months must be registered with the Shire of Nannup. All registrations are due on November 1 each year and are current for either one year or three years.
Upon producing a pension card, pensioners may register their cat for half the normal fee. Registration helps you to recover your cat if it is lost and assists the Shire to encourage responsible cat ownership.
