Supporting cat owners with low-cost desexing


July 3, 2025

Mandatory desexing is one of the cat management measures the Future Melbourne Committee endorsed as a result of the feedback we heard during this consultation.

The new measures come into effect from 1 October 2025. To support cat owners during this time, we are offering a low-cost desexing program, where registered owners will pay only $50 for the procedure. We’re also offering $50 vet appointments for registered owners who are unsure if their cat has been desexed or can’t find proof (e.g. a desexing certificate).

Find out more about this program and the benefits of desexing your cat.
