If you have recently purchased or adopted an American Shorthair cat then you should check with your local vet to find out how you should register your cat. Many regions require a specific registration process for all pets. For instance, some states in general require all cats to be registered with their local town and/or county. Registration may include simply going to the town clerk’s office and completing a form or having your vet mail in a certificate stating your cat is compliant with all required vaccinations. In some counties and towns, your cat receives a registration application or certificate when he receives his rabies shot. A copy of that certificate or completed registration is then sent to the appropriate office. A fee may or may not be required. In addition, your cat may be required to wear county or town issued ID and registration tags. Talk with your vet Thousand Oaks, CA for more details.
