City of Darwin - City of Darwin desexed 60 owned pet cats in May and June 2026 in high-roaming suburbs.

What happened

City of Darwin says 60 owned pet cats were desexed in May and June 2026.

The council said high-roaming suburbs were identified through its Cat Tracking Program.

Why it matters

What to watch

The follow-up question is how cat tracking, registration checks, desexing support and roaming reports are joined after the initial program ends.
