9.0 Keeping of Cats
9.1 No person shall keep more than four cats over the age of six months on any section. Where two or more dwellinghouses are contained on one section no person shall keep more than two cats over the age of six months in any household. For three or more dwellinghouses on one section no person shall keep more than one cat over the age of six months in any dwellinghouse.
9.2 In the event of a nuisance caused by cats, it shall be the duty of the owner to do such work or reduce the number of cats to abate any nuisance, upon notice being served upon him or her by the Council. In the case of neglect or refusal on the part of such owner to comply with, execute, or do such work or reduce the number of cats, such owner commits an offence against this Part of this Bylaw. In such a case Council may remove such cats as an Animal Control Officer deems necessary to abate the nuisance.
9.3 No person shall establish or maintain any hospital, boarding or breeding establishment for cats except on a site approved by a resource consent from the Council issued under the Resource Management Act 1991 and subject to such conditions as it may think fit to impose.
