CatsOur objectives are set out in the Companion Animal Management Plan 2004 (833 kb pdf).

Dogs and cats must wear a tag that states name, address and phone number or any combination of the three.

Registration
It is a requirement that dogs and cats are registered. Council registers dogs and cats. You may also register your cat at our local pound or the RSPCA.
