§ 6-121. Rabies vaccination; tags for cats.

Latest version.

(a)

Every person who owns or has in his possession or who keeps or harbors any cat within the corporate limits of the city shall have and keep such cat inoculated (vaccinated) against rabies, as provided by the laws of the state and as provided by the rules and regulations prescribed and promulgated by the state board of health. It shall be unlawful for any person to own, possess, keep or harbor any cat within the corporate limits of the city unless such cat has been so inoculated against rabies.

(b)

Every cat so vaccinated must bear a suitable metal tag approved by the state board of health, which shall be braided to the collar or harness of such cat and shall have stamped thereon the serial number of the vaccination and the year in which such cat was vaccinated. If any such cat should be without such tag at any time, such action shall be prima facie evidence that the owner has failed to have such cat vaccinated as provided by law and such action shall be a violation of this article.
