(A) Nuisance.
(1) Keeping. The keeping of an unlimited number of domesticated animals and cats in the village for a considerable period of time detracts from and, in many instances, is detrimental to the healthful and comfortable life for which the areas were created. The keeping of an unlimited number of domesticated animals and cats is, therefore, declared to be a public nuisance.
(2) Definitions. For the purpose of this subchapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
CAT. Any feline, regardless of age or sex.
DOMESTICATED ANIMAL. Any canine, regardless of age or sex.
(B) Number of domesticated animals and/or cats limited. It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to keep more than three domesticated animals and/or three cats within the village, with the exception that a litter of pups, or a litter of kittens, or a portion of a litter may be kept for a period of time not exceeding five months from birth. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any establishment wherein domesticated animals or cats are kept for breeding, sale, sporting purposes or boarding.
