Does your city have a limit on the number of dogs/cats you may own?

We have our Bijou, and three cats. Out of curiosity, I recently looked online to review the city ordinances/codes regarding pet ownership where we live and discovered the following:

"Number of Dogs and Cats Limited. In order to protect the public health and public sanitation, no more than two dogs and two cats or three animals (three dogs or three cats) of any one of the two species, shall be kept in or upon one residential unit or by one or more persons constituting one residential unit, unless the premises be licensed as a kennel."

So -- am I being noncompliant by having one dog and three cats? Aaaaaack!

What does your city specify (or does it?)?

I'm not sure what our city specification is. I'll have to look.

However, I do believe YOU are in compliance with the code. It says 'three animals' in the code. Just because it gives an example of three dogs or three cats doesn't mean you can't mix or match. One dog and two cats like you have, or two dogs and one cat.

I wouldn't worry.
