Cat/Kitten Policy

Saving...

Chapter 5 of the City of San Antonio Animal Care Code allows cats to roam free within city limits. However, all outdoor cats must be spayed or neutered.

Animal Care Services has a variety of resources pertaining to cats including:

  • ACS Community Cat Program- ACS will loan you a trap and provide FREE spay/neuter services for roaming cats in your community. *This program is ONLY for healthy cats/kittens to be brought in for spay/neuter services where the resident drops off AND picks the cat up from surgery. The cats/kittens are then returned to the area by the resident who trapped them. Residents of City of San Antonio only. Appointments may be made here.
  • Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) - is a program in which community cats are humanely trapped, evaluated, vaccinated, sterilized, and marked by an identifying notch in the left ear, all administered by a veterinarian, and returned to the trap location.
  • Barn Cats- ACS offers free adoption of Barn Cats who assist with controlling rodents and pests.

To report a sick or injured cat or for more information, please call 311 Customer Service, at 311 or (210) 207-6000. 311 is available seven days a week from 7am-7pm and on holidays from 8am-5pm.
