Sec. B31-51. Maximum number of cats or litters thereof.

(a) Unless a permit is obtained for a private kennel, commercial kennel, animal menagerie, or animal shelter, on parcels of less than five acres, the maximum number of cats or litters shall be five cats over four months of age and the parturition, rearing or harboring of not more than one litter of kittens per calendar year. In addition, of the animals legally permitted on the property, not more than one female cat may be unspayed. A female cat shall be rebuttably presumed to be unspayed unless the owner/guardian provides evidence of spaying. Written certification from a licensed veterinarian that an animal cannot be spayed for health reasons or is incapable of breeding shall be deemed a satisfactory substitution for a certificate showing that an animal is spayed.

(b) These provisions shall not apply to premises maintained by a veterinarian licensed by the State for the practice of veterinary medicine.

(Ord. No. NS-300.745, § 1, 5-2-06)
