    A new bylaw means Far North cat owners will be expected to microchip and desex pets

    A new bylaw means Far North cat owners will be expected to microchip and desex pets


    The Council voted to approve the new animal control legislation last Thursday - including cats for the first time.

    It'll apply to cats older than four months - unless a cat's being bred, or the owner has a certificate stating desexing will adversely affect its welfare.
