The Brisbane City Council has committed $55,000 in the 2018-19 financial year for cat desexing.

This subsidised service will be introduced to 30 Brisbane vets to reduce the amount of stray cats. Under the proposal, the owner will pay $35 to desex a male cat and $55 for a female.

Lifestyle and Community Services chairman Peter Matic has commited to one financial year, however is open to extending it. This funding will subsidise an estimated 850 cats.
