We have a stray cat in the neighborhood. Does the Police Department pick up cats?

The NSPPD does not pick up stray cats. Based on the ordinances, if an animal is running at large/a threat to the public, the NSPPD will become involved. By City Ordinance cats, like dogs, must be leashed if not on the owner’s private property.
