Under Oklahoma City Municipal Code Chapter 8, cats four months and older must be licensed yearly with proof of rabies vaccination from a licensed veterinarian. Owned cats must wear visible identification when off the owner's property. Cats running at large or repeatedly trespassing onto neighbor property may be impounded by Oklahoma City Animal Welfare. Feral colony caretakers should coordinate with OKC Animal Welfare's TNR program. Reduced license fees apply to spayed and neutered cats.
