Cat Enclosures Melbourne

Since 1 October 2025, cats in the City of Melbourne have to stay on their owner's property from 6pm to 8am, and many other Victorian councils have their own curfews.

We sell the netting and portable enclosures that do the job, and if you'd rather have it built, local installers around Melbourne use our netting.

Melbourne's cat rules

In the City of Melbourne, cats must stay on their owner's property from 6pm to 8am, must be desexed, and aren't allowed in waterways and parks such as Fitzroy Gardens and Royal Park unless they're on a leash or in a carrier (City of Melbourne).

Across Victoria, cats three months and older must be registered with your council and microchipped first, and each council can set its own curfew (Agriculture Victoria). In Merri-bek, cats registered after 1 April 2027 will have to stay home 24 hours a day (Merri-bek City Council).

Questions we get from Melbourne

Can I use a portable enclosure in a rental?

Yes. Our portable enclosures stand on their own and need no drilling, so nothing is fixed to the property.

How much netting do I need?

Measure the space and put the sizes into the DIY cat run builder, which works out the netting and fixings.

Will a portable enclosure stand up to wind?

A portable enclosure shouldn't blow over. If you live in a windy spot, you can peg the frame to the ground, or weigh it down with sand bags if it sits on a hard surface. Read the help article.
