Englewood prohibits feeding unconfined wildlife in any public park or City-owned property, plus feeding stray unlicensed cats anywhere in town.
Englewood's wildlife feeding ordinance bars any person from feeding unconfined wildlife in a public park or on any property owned or operated by the City, with an exception for confined wildlife at facilities such as Flat Rock Brook environmental center. The Police Department and Health Department jointly enforce the rule, and a first response is typically an order to cease feeding immediately. Separately, no person, firm or corporation may knowingly feed, harbor, or maintain a stray and unlicensed cat within the City; violations can carry fines up to $1,000, up to 90 days in jail, or both.
Feeding ducks, geese, or other unconfined wildlife in a City park, or feeding stray unlicensed cats in Englewood, both violate the ordinance and trigger enforcement action.
