Aurora City Code Chapter 14 requires cats over four months to be licensed and current on rabies, addresses at-large cats through impoundment and trap-neuter-return options, and limits households to four cats absent a multiple-animal permit.
Cats in Aurora must be licensed annually and vaccinated against rabies under Chapter 14. While Aurora does not impose a strict leash law for cats, at-large cats causing nuisance, depredation on wildlife, or property damage may be impounded by Aurora Animal Services. The city supports community cat programs and trap-neuter-return through partnerships with regional rescues. Owned cats found at-large repeatedly may be subject to confinement orders. Households are capped at four cats over four months without a multiple-animal permit. Cats reclaimed from the shelter may be required to be sterilized as a condition of release.
At-large cats causing nuisance can be impounded with reclaim fees; unlicensed cats trigger Chapter 14 fines; exceeding four cats without permit risks animal removal.
