(A) Nuisance. The keeping of an unlimited number of dogs and cats in the city for a considerable period of time detracts from and, in many instances, is detrimental to the healthful and comfortable life for which such areas were created. The keeping of an unlimited number of dogs and cats is, therefore, declared to be a public nuisance. The terms "dog" and "cat" shall be construed as provided in § 90.02.
(B) Limitation; exception.
(1) Absent special permission granted by the Grayville City Council, it shall be unlawful for any person or persons residing within the corporate limits to keep more than five dogs and/or five cats within the city, with the exception that a litter of pups, a litter of kittens or a portion of a litter may be kept for a period of time not exceeding five months from birth.
2021 S-10
(2) The provisions of this section shall not apply to any establishment wherein dogs or cats are kept for sporting purposes or boarding.
