In Western Australia, all cats that have reached six months of age must be registered with a Local Government.
The City promotes responsible ownership of cats in our community and our Rangers ensure cats are registered, microchipped, and sterilized. All cat owners must comply with the Cat Act 2011.
Please note, cat registration period ends on October 31 of the year of expiry.
