COVID-19 Information
Even indoor pets can slip away and get lost. That's what a licence is for. A pet licence is a unique ID that tells us your pet belongs to you. It allows us to reunite the two of you more quickly if your pet ever gets lost or displaced in an emergency. It may even get your companion one free ride home each year. Your pet safe and sound — to us, that peace-of-mind is priceless.
In 2020, cats who are licenced are eligible to receive a microchip. Please call 311 to make an appointment to get your cat’s microchip.
