Cat licensing, rabies vaccination and any feral-cat or trap-neuter-return programs in Middlesex County are handled by each municipality. Several towns require cats to be licensed and vaccinated against rabies, mirroring dog rules.
New Jersey does not mandate statewide cat licensing, but many Middlesex County municipalities require it by local ordinance, typically for cats over seven months old and conditioned on proof of a current rabies vaccination. Municipal health departments also run the free rabies clinics that Middlesex County publicizes each year, and some towns operate or sanction trap-neuter-return programs for community cats. Because these rules are municipal, requirements differ from town to town; residents should check their local code for cat licensing, vaccination and any restrictions on free-roaming or feral cats.
Municipal fines for unlicensed or unvaccinated cats where a local ordinance requires cat licensing.
