The City Council finds and declares that a program for the encouragement of spaying/neutering of cats and dogs combined with a certification system for unaltered cats and dogs owned, harbored or kept within the City of Tulare is a reasonable and effective means of reducing the population of homeless or stray cats and dogs, reducing the need to euthanize healthy cats and dogs, and providing for the health, safety and welfare of the public.
