Cat ownership

The City of Airdrie's ANIMAL CONTROL BYLAWS outlines the responsibilities of cat ownership.  Please refer to the bylaw for more information.

The bylaw states that cat owners:

• purchase a cat licence once their cat is three months old
•  ensure the licence tag is worn by the cat when it is outside of the home
• adhere to three cats or less per household
• do not allow cats to run at large

The City of Airdrie has partnered with Tails to Tell Animal Rescue Shelter in Crossfield to provide cat traps to Airdrie residents when needed. To enquire about borrowing a cat trap, you can contact Tails to Tell at 403.946.0040.

Please be aware of procedures and guidelines in Schedule "E" for cat trapping in the ANIMAL CONTROL BYLAW.

If you have any questions or concerns about a cat running at large, please contact the Municipal Enforcement 24-hour complaint line at 403.948.8888.
