Advice from Parks Australia which has jurisdiction over the import of animals, plants, etc to the island is that NO PERMITS WILL BE ISSUED to bring animals and pets to the island. This is due to the unique native fauna that has been significantly disturbed by earlier importation of domestic animals. Having said that, if you are someone who cannot live without a pet, there are often cats and kittens looking for homes and you will also be able to get chooks to keep in a pen, if you are interested. The laws regarding domestic cats are quite strict and you will be required to have your cat desexed and microchipped, when the vet comes to the island.
