What a cat ad must show, by state
From each state’s law or regulator, checked 10 Oct 2026. Not legal advice.
How to check a seller’s number- Victoria
- Almost every ad shows the seller’s source number and each animal’s full microchip number, owners rehoming and rescues included.
- NSW
- The NSW Government says every cat ad must include identification details, such as a microchip number. The law requires a microchip number, a breeder identification number (BIN) or a rehoming organisation number on ads for cats held by a council, a pound or one of three welfare groups. By our own rule, every NSW cat listing on Pet Sales Australia shows the cat’s full microchip number.
- Queensland
- Queensland’s supply number rules cover dogs, not cats.
- South Australia
- The seller’s name and phone, and each breeder’s name and phone, plus the breeder’s Dogs and Cats Online (DACO) number if they’re registered.
- Western Australia
- WA law doesn’t currently say which numbers an ad must show.
- Tasmania
- The Tasmanian Government says breeders whose State breeder registration was issued before 1 March 2022 must put their registration certificate number on cat ads.
- ACT
- Licensed breeders: their breeding licence number. Anyone else: the animal’s microchip number or an identifier for the seller. The ACT Government asks for both.
- Northern Territory
- We found no territory law on what a dog or cat ad must show. We haven’t checked council by-laws.

Before you buy any kitten
Meet the kitten and its mother first
Visit where it was raised before you pay anything, including a deposit. A video is a first look. Seeing the parents is the best way to avoid a puppy or kitten farm.

Questions
How old must a kitten be before it goes home?
At least 8 weeks. It’s the law in Tasmania and our rule in every state.
What must a kitten ad show in my state?
It depends on the state. The rules for each state are on this page.
Should I pay a deposit before I see the kitten?
Not until you’ve visited where the kitten was raised and met it and its mother. A video is a first look. Then pay only into an account in the seller’s name. Once listings open here, that’s the checked name you see after the seller replies.
Is it free to message a seller?
Yes. When listings open, messaging sellers will be free for buyers.
How do I find kittens near me?
When listings open, press Use My Location or type your suburb.
Selling or rehoming a pet?
Free to list. A one-off $9.95 ID check before your first listing.
