Greensboro and Guilford County require cats over four months old to be vaccinated against rabies and to wear current tags, with Animal Services enforcing impoundment and rabies-related quarantine rules.
Cats kept in Greensboro must be vaccinated against rabies by four months of age and revaccinated on the schedule shown on the rabies certificate, per Guilford County animal regulations and NCGS 130A-185. Cats are not generally subject to a leash law but must wear a current rabies tag when off the owner's property. Free-roaming cats that bite humans or domestic animals are subject to ten-day quarantine, and feral colony caretakers face additional rules under any community cat program adopted by Guilford County.
Civil penalties for unvaccinated or untagged cats, mandatory quarantine after a bite incident, and impoundment fees for cats picked up by Animal Services.
