Cats

Some members of the public become confused with regards to Animal Control's role regarding cat control. The only jurisdiction Animal Control has over cats is to ensure that there is compliance with the bylaw regarding cat numbers.

The bylaw prohibits the keeping of more than four cats over the age of three months on a property. If you wish to have more than four cats over the age of three months, you will need to apply for a Multiple Cat Licence by completing the application form.

Animal Control does not deal with stray or pest cats. Pest cats are like any other pest (rabbits, rats, ants etc); they are the responsibility of the landowner or person bothered by them.
