The Village Board of Trustees finds that harboring
of large numbers of cats within a single household poses problems
to the public health, order, comfort, safety and well-being. Accordingly,
this article is enacted to prevent such concentrations of cats within
a single household.
As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
CAT
Male or female cats, i.e., that animal known as felis domesticus.
HOUSEHOLD
A single apartment, a single-family occupancy house or single-occupancy
unit within a multiple-occupancy habitation.
A violation of this article shall be a violation punishable by a fine of not more than $25 nor less than $10. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, the maximum fine provided herein for the violation for which the person is sentenced may be increased by an additional $50 if the conviction is for a second violation of §
81-17 of this article, and the maximum fine provided herein for the violation for which the person is sentenced may be increased by an additional $100 if the conviction is for a third or subsequent violation of §
81-17 of this article.
