Council is committed to reducing the number of unwanted cats and dogs within the Livingstone Shire Council area.
Council has partnered with Four Paws Adoption and Education Inc. and participating vets to provide approved eligible persons with a voucher valued at $200 to contribute towards the cost of desexing procedures for registered dogs and cats.
The objectives of the Program are to support the Livingstone Shire community in responsible pet ownership, and to reduce the cost to the community of desexing a cat or dog.
Eligibility
To be eligible for a voucher:
- Your animal must be identified (by way of a microchip) in accordance with the Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008
- You must be a resident of Livingstone Shire;
- You must be the owner of the animal; and
- The animal must be currently registered with Livingstone Shire Council.
Vouchers expire within 30 days from the issue date and are limited to a maximum of two per household.
Approved Participating Vets
The Program involves the distribution by Council of desexing vouchers to members of the public, which in turn will only be able to be used for the desexing services of veterinary practices included in the Program, as listed below:
- Quality Veterinary Care Centre
- Acacia Veterinary Surgery
Making an Application
- You may apply for vouchers for up to two (2) animals for which you are the registered owner.
- Approval of applications is at the absolute discretion of Council. Successful applicants will be notified via email or in writing by the Council.
To apply, complete the Desexing Voucher Application Form below.
Remember to update your pet's registration details once they're desexed, to take advantage of the reduced registration fees. This can be done via Council's Online Services portal or by completing the Application to Amend Cat and Dog Registration Details Form.
