There is no leashe law for cats, therefore, the owners are not breaking any laws and Animal Control does not pick up cats. If you want to keep cats out of our yard or garden you can try a repellant around the area. They can be purchased at farm & garden stores and pet shops. There are also repellants you can make yourself and try. Animal Control can give you some ideas or you can check online. If the cat is no someone's pet and is a feral (wild) cat, you can trait and take it to the Humane Society at Lollypop Farm. Animal Control can load you a trap for this.
