Galloway Township focuses licensing and at-large rules on dogs; cats are not required to be licensed the way dogs are. New Jersey encourages but does not mandate cat licensing. Cats still fall under the Township's general nuisance and animals-at-large provisions, and rabies-vaccination clinics are offered locally.
Galloway Township's Ch. 107 dog-licensing and running-at-large provisions apply to dogs; New Jersey requires dog licensing (N.J.S.A. 4:19-15.2) but only authorizes optional cat licensing at municipal discretion. Galloway does not run a mandatory cat-license program. Cats are, however, covered by the Township's general animal, nuisance, and 'any other animal at large' provisions, so a cat that becomes a nuisance to neighbors can be addressed. New Jersey requires rabies vaccination for cats over specific ages, and the Township/County periodically hold free rabies clinics. Responsible outdoor-cat owners should keep pets from creating a nuisance on neighboring properties.
No cat-license penalty exists. Nuisance or at-large enforcement against a cat proceeds under the general Township animal code, with fines up to $2,000 for serious animal-code violations. Rabies non-vaccination is a state health violation.
