New law limits households to two cats

An Adelaide council has moved to limit the number of cats residents can own to two and insist on desexing and microchipping.

Burnside council last night voted to adopt a bylaw capping the number of cats any households can own.

Those wanting to keep more will need to apply for a permit.

Cr Jane Davey led the charge for the law, saying the issue had been "bubbling along" for a long time.

The bylaw, which would have to be ratified by the State Government and which will also go through a period of public consultation, will also include fines for the owners of “nuisance cats”.
