Canberra and different laws

As we have had more increased interest in Canberra and the ACT (we are luckily only 2 hours away for anyone wanting a kitten living here!) We also want to recommend considering local cat laws, as the ACT has passed some much-needed legislation to help protect native wildlife and decrease the number of feral cats in set areas.

We always recommend our cats to be indoors, as even in the country and Riverina area, people will often still try and take cats , and we often hear stories of cats disappearing. If you do want your cat to go outdoors, it may be worth considering either harness training or buying a suitable enclosure so they can safely do so.

Different parts of the ACT can vary with how the new legislation work, so it is important to ensure that anyone wanting a cat also complies with their local state laws. We also recommend owners living in apartments to be checking with their strata to ensure they can have a pet.

If there are further questions, please reach out.
