Broward
County is home to thousands of Community Cats--unowned cats that live outdoors.
Some of these cats are part of a cat colony and are cared for by a Colony Caregiver. Other cats roam freely throughout neighborhoods and communities.
In 2015, the Broward County Chapter 4 Animal Care Ordinance was amended to allow for Community Cat Management Programs. The goal is to reduce the overpopulation of Community Cats within Broward County through two sterilization programs:
- Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)
- Return to Field (RTF)
We will not be accepting community cats for sterilization services during these upcoming dates in 2025:
- Friday, January 10th
- Saturday, January 18th through Monday, January 20th
- Tuesday, January 28th and Wednesday, January 29th
- Saturday, February 15th through Monday, February 17th
- Saturday, May 24th through Monday, May 26th
- Tuesday, June 17th through Thursday, June 19th
- Wednesday, July 2nd through Friday, July 4th
- Saturday, August 30th through Monday, September 1st
- Sunday, November 9th through Tuesday, November 11th
- Tuesday, November 25th through Friday, November 28th
