Riverside County Ordinance 630 requires owned cats over four months old to wear ID, be vaccinated against rabies, and discourages free-roaming through nuisance provisions enforced by RCDAS.
Under Riverside County Ordinance 630, cat owners in unincorporated areas must rabies-vaccinate cats older than four months and provide identifying tags or microchips. While voluntary cat licensing is offered through the Riverside County Department of Animal Services (RCDAS), free-roaming cats damaging neighbor property, defecating in gardens, or hunting protected wildlife may be impounded as nuisance animals. Multiple-cat households exceeding limits require a kennel permit. Trap-neuter-return colonies operate under Best Friends partnerships in select unincorporated zones.
Unvaccinated cats, untagged strays, and nuisance free-roamers may be impounded by RCDAS, with reclaim fees and citations starting at $100 per animal.
