· It is a Queensland Government requirement that all kittens/cats must be microchipped prior to sale, gift or transfer.

This is the seller’s legal responsibility.

The following Gold Coast City Council laws are applicable:

· Obtaining a breeder permit and/or an excess animal permit is compulsory where applicable

· Desexing of kittens is compulsory prior to sale unless sold to a registered breeder (or if desexing the animal is likely to be a serious risk to the animal’s health).

See here for a Comprehensive copy of the document outlining the discussions.

Any questions may be directed to Barbara or Susan (see Contacts page).
