If you keep a pet cat in Ahmedabad city, then this is important news for you. Following the long-standing rules already in place for pet dogs, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has now officially made registration mandatory for pet cats as well. According to a notification issued by the Cattle Nuisance Control Department (CNCD) of the AMC, all pet parents living within the limits of Ahmedabad city will have to complete this registration by September 30, 2026.
To ensure maximum convenience for the public, the entire registration process has been shifted completely online. Citizens can easily complete the application without visiting government offices by logging the official website of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation. The corporation has introduced this process in strict compliance with the Supreme Court's guidance, ‘Animal Welfare Board’ of India guidelines, and existing animal welfare rules.
Registration Fees and Important Deadlines
The timeline for registering pets varies slightly depending on whether you own a dog or a cat. The online registration window for pets opens from:
Pet Type | Registration Window | Registration Fee |
Dog | July 1 to September 30, 2026 | ₹2,000 |
Cat | July 9 to September 30, 2026 | ₹200 |
To finish the application smoothly, citizens must keep their legal documents ready before applying on the municipal portal.
Pet parents will need to upload specific proofs:
- Aadhaar card or voter ID card of the applicant
- Latest property tax bill or electricity bill of the residence
- A clear photograph of the applicant
- A photograph of the pet cat
- A photograph of the specific place where the cat is kept at home
Where to Get Help and Legal Compliance
According to the municipal corporation, this public notice has been issued to encourage citizens to act as responsible pet parents. If any citizen faces technical issues with the portal or needs more details regarding the guidelines, they can directly contact the veterinary department of the AMC for assistance.
Local authorities advise all cat owners not to wait for the final date and to complete the online formal process well within the time limit. Registering your pet on time ensures compliance with court orders and directly contributes to building a rabies-free, safe, and responsible Ahmedabad.
