Cairns Pets impounded by council need their owners now!

Cairns Pets which are found straying are caught and impounded by Cairns Regional Council animal control officers.  If they are microchipped or have a registration tag, finding their owner is easy, but otherwise they face an uncertain futures.

Cairns Regional Council aims to rehome unclaimed pets through shelters like the RSPCA and YAPS.  At times like now when shelters are full to overflowing, not all animals can be rehomed.

Make sure your pet has a microchip and and your contact details are up to date with the microchip registry.  Register your pet with council: there are big discounts for desexed pets.

Cairns Vets can scan your pet to check the number and your registry if required.
