​​​​​​​​​​​​Broward County is home to thousands of Community Cats--unowned cats that live outdoors.

Some of these cats are part of a cat colony and are cared for by a Colony Caregiver. Other cats simply roam freely throughout neighborhoods and communities.

In 2015, the Broward County Chapter 4 Animal Care Ordinance was amended to allow for Community Cat Management Programs. The goal is to reduce the overpopulation of Community Cats within Broward County through two sterilization programs:

• Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)
• Return to Field (RTF)
  

We will not be accepting community cats for sterilization services during the following dates for 2024: 

• Saturday, February 3rd 
• Saturday, February 17th through Monday, February 19th 
  
• Saturday, March 23 and Sunday, March 24th
  
• Tuesday, April 9th and Wednesday, April 10th
• Thursday, April 18th through Saturday, April 20th
• Saturday, May 25th through Monday, May 27th 
• Monday, June 17th through Wednesday, June 19th 
• Monday, July 1st through Thursday, July 4th 
• Tuesday, July 16th and Wednesday, July 17th 
• Saturday, August 31st through Monday, September 2nd
