    More local councils are getting on board with cat regulations

    More local councils are getting on board with cat regulations


    The Far North District Council's the most recent to consult on a mandatory desexing and microchips by-law.

    De-sexing can prevent unwanted breeding, while microchips make it easier to return lost pets.

    Companion Animals NZ general manager David Lloyd says when a by-law was announced in Wellington, there was a big spike in microchipping.

    He says the conversation about a generational change is really important.
