🌺POPPY STREET SIGNS🌺

In case you missed it, check out last week's story in the Yorke Peninsula Country Times 👇

It's pleasing to see how these new street signs, featuring a poppy and the words "Lest We Forget", have touched members of the community ❤️

We thank the Council staff who have made this possible and the Federal Government for the $3810 received from the Saluting Their Service Grants Program 👏

There will be 127 of these street signs spread across the Copper Coast, honouring the former Copper Coast residents who served our country 🇦🇺 ... See moreSee less

😻WIN A CAT PAMPER PACK😻

Cat owners who register their cats from May until November will have a chance to win 1 of 20 prize packs (valued at $70 each) each month! 🙀

In South Australia, microchipping and desexing your cat is mandatory, and owners must register this information in Dogs and Cats Online (DACO) 💻

DACO is a State-wide database used by all councils, the RSPCA, Animal Welfare League and most vets as the number one tool for identifying lost pets to find their owners 🔍

While your breeder, shelter, vet or previous owner gives you a microchip number and creates a DACO record, you need to complete the registration with your personal details 📝

Copper Coast Council does not charge a cat registration fee, so what are you waiting for! 🏃

Head to the DACO website and register your cat here 👉 www.dogsandcatsonline.com.au

Once completed, don't forget to complete the entry form at dogandcatboard.com.au/catprize 🖱️ ... See moreSee less
