Montgomery County has no cat licensing or leash requirement, and Pennsylvania does not license cats statewide. Free-roaming cats, feral colonies and TNR are handled by municipalities and the Montgomery County SPCA rather than by any county ordinance.
Pennsylvania's Dog Law covers dogs, not cats, so there is no state cat-license or cat-confinement mandate, and Montgomery County issues no cat ordinance. Rules that do exist — restrictions on the number of cats, nuisance provisions for free-roaming or feral cats, and trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs — are established at the municipal level or run by nonprofits and the Montgomery County SPCA. Some boroughs and townships include cats in general animal-nuisance or pet-limit ordinances; others are silent. Rabies vaccination, however, is required statewide: Pennsylvania's Rabies Prevention and Control Act requires all cats three months and older to be vaccinated against rabies. Stray and injured cats are typically routed to the county SPCA.
Failure to vaccinate a cat against rabies is a state violation. Municipal cat-nuisance or limit violations carry local fines.
