Claiming your impounded pet

Before you can claim your pet, you need to:
 

• Pay all outstanding impound fees;
• Pay any outstanding infringements related to the impounded animal;
• Pay for or prove current registration;
• Have your pet microchipped if not already done – the facility will arrange for a chip to be implanted, which is mandatory under the Dog Act 1976 and the Cat Act 2011.

Cats must also be sterilised. If not, the facility will work with City Rangers to make suitable arrangements. This is mandatory under the Cat Act 2011.
