Please Do Not Feed Feral Cats

The Mandatory Cat Vaccination Ordinance was developed when rabies entered the community. It is written to prevent people from feeding strays and increasing the population of stray, uncared for cats and cats that are not vaccinated against rabies. Nobody should be feeding animals outside and leaving food. Any food, even pet food should be removed from the area immediately after feeding. It is best to feed pets indoors. 

If Animal Control Solutions (ACS) is called to assess a cat situation, it is important to note that if a person has been feeding a cat outside, and the cat is used to being fed there, then it is considered to be the caller’s cat, in accordance with the Mandatory Cat Vaccination Ordinance.

To make a complaint or to request information regarding feral cats, please contact the Hillsborough Township Health Department. Please don’t report a feral cat situation on Facebook as the Health Department and ACS aren’t monitoring social media for complaints.
