Cat licensing scheme to take effect on Sept 1; up to 2 allowed in each HDB flat

A BFF Rescue Cats volunteer with a cat at a December 2023 event in Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park. It will be an offence to keep unlicensed pet cats from Sept 1, 2026.

Licensing will be free during the two-year transition period — which will run from Sept 1, 2024, to Aug 31, 2026 — but will subsequently cost $15 for a one-year licence for a sterilised cat and $90 for an unsterilised cat, same as the cost of licensing pet dogs.Licences issued during the transition period will have lifetime validity for sterilised cats, while for unsterilised cats, these licences will be valid only during the transition period.

A ban on pet cats in HDB flats has been in place since 1989, with offenders facing fines of up to $4,000. Owners will also have to place their cats in a harness or carrier when in public areas to prevent them from roaming. From Sept 1, cat fosterers can also apply to license their existing fostered cats through the Pet Animal Licensing System, as long as they are able to ensure that the cats' health and welfare are taken care of.
