Stray Cat Colony Ordinance Amendment Introduced By Township Council

August 13, 2025 Township Council

**OPPOSES AMENDMENT –** *Stockton resident Danielle Rice tells the Township Council that the proposed ordinance amendment will not solve the feral cat problem at the August 12 meeting.*

Residents who feed stray cats without registering them with the Township face fines of up to $500 under an ordinance amendment introduced at the August 12 Township Council meeting.

The amendment, if adopted, would also require those taking care of stray cat “colonies” to have them spayed or neutered, given veterinary care when needed, given rabies vaccinations, and, if they move, find someone to take care of them.
