The proposed rules would allow registered sponsors to manage feral cat colonies through humane trapping, sterilization, vaccination, ear-tipping, microchipping, and return. Registered TNR cats generally would not be treated as animals running at large, but Animal Control could intervene when cats pose health or safety risks, are unsterilized or unvaccinated, or create unresolved nuisances. The Council did not adopt the ordinance; staff will bring it forward for consideration at a future meeting.
