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

Municipal Enforcement has partnered with Alberta Pound and Rescue Centres, APARC, to provide our community with services to improve local animal welfare.

APARC can provide cat traps when needed. Make an appointment to rent a cat trap by calling 403.768.0274.

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 Municipal Enforcement at 403.948.8892. 

To make a complaint about cat running at large, please call the Municipal Enforcement bylaw complaint line at 403-948-8888.
