Warner Robins, GA Animal Ordinances: Wildlife Feeding (2026)

Section 5-26 sits in Chapter 5's general animal-control article and targets stray and feral cat feeding specifically; the chapter does not separately regulate feeding deer, geese or other wildlife. The prohibition is conditional: feeding itself is legal until it produces a nuisance to neighbors or businesses, or a condition the city considers contrary to public health, safety or welfare, such as accumulated food attracting pests or unsanitary buildup. ' That means a habitual feeder can be held to the same duties as any pet owner under this chapter, including rabies inoculation once the animal is kept past three months of age under Section 5-18, daily waste removal under Section 5-16, and the restraint and nuisance rules elsewhere in Article I.

Warner Robins Animal Control investigates complaints and determines whether the feeding has crossed into nuisance territory before issuing a citation, rather than treating every act of feeding as automatically unlawful.
