Adopting a Registered Cat?

Cat registrations are interchangeable across the state. To transfer your registration please complete our registration form.

You will need to provide proof of registration by advising the name of the local government at which the cat is currently registered as well as its existing registration tag number.

If your cat is already registered with the Shire of Murray, please complete our change of details form.

You can either email, post or bring the completed form into our Administration Office for processing.

No additional fees apply.

Remember, you will also need to update the details associated with your pet’s microchip. Contact the relevant microchip company.  A microchip is only as useful as its contact details!

Moving to Murray with an Already Registered Cat?

Cat registrations are interchangeable across the state. To transfer your registration complete our registration form and return the form to us by mail, email or in person. No additional fees apply.

Remember to alert the other local government in writing of your change of details and to update the details associated with your pet’s microchip by contacting your vet or the respective registry.

Can’t Attain a Sterilisation Certificate?

Please provide a statutory declaration in lieu of the required certificate.
