Do I need to license my cat or other pet?

Domestic pets such as cats, ferrets, reptiles, and birds do not require a license in Connecticut.  People who have a dog must obtain a license and tag for the dog, though. 

The Town Clerk's Office issues dog licenses upon receipt of proof of Rabies vaccination from a veterinarian.

Cats must receive Rabies vaccinations, also.  Cick here to find out more about Rabies, Animal Control Division, Department of Agriculture.
