Cats

Wyndham City Council requires every cat and dog to be registered from three months old, annual fees range from $19 for a concession-card holder’s desexed cat to $265 for a dangerous, menacing or restricted breed dog, and cats must be contained on their owner’s property around the clock, with fines for breaching the new 24-hour rule due to start in December 2026. This guide pulls together the council’s pet registration, cat containment, desexing, off-leash and lost animal pages, read on 9 November 2026.
