LAKE MACQUARIE CITY COUNCIL | RANGERS ACTIVITIES | Companion Animals | Permits for Non-Desexed Cats and Dangerous / Restricted Dogs

From 1 July 2020 the State Government introduced annual permits for owners of non-desexed cats, restricted dog breeds, and dogs declared to be dangerous.

This means that owners of cats not desexed by four months of age will be required to pay an annual permit in addition to their one-off lifetime pet registration fee.

Owners of dogs of a restricted breed or declared to be dangerous will be required to pay an annual permit in addition to their one-off lifetime pet registration fee. This applies to dogs that are already registered.

Exemptions will be in place for cats that are registered by 1 July 2020, cats kept for breeding purposes by members of recognised breeding bodies, and cats which cannot be desexed for medical reasons.
