Anderson has no flat pet cap, but Sec. 91.01 deems anyone keeping four or more dogs and/or cats (six months or older) a 'kennel operator,' triggering kennel regulation. Altered cats confined to the owner's property are excluded from the count.
Chapter 91 does not set a simple household maximum, but the definition of 'Kennel' in Sec. 91.01 functions as the effective limit: 'Anyone keeping more than a total of four or more dogs and/or cats six months of age shall be deemed a kennel operator.' Reaching that threshold pulls the household into the code's kennel/commercial-animal-establishment framework, which involves licensing and additional regulation rather than casual pet ownership. The definition specifically excludes groups of cats that are all altered and all confined to the owner's premises. All kept animals, regardless of number, must still be under restraint (Sec. 91.51) and licensed as required.
Operating as an unlicensed kennel or exceeding the four-animal threshold without meeting kennel requirements is enforced by the Senior Humane Officer. With no specific penalty stated, Sec. 91.999 imposes a fine of up to $500, each day a separate offense.
