Did you know that every parish has different animal laws? Are you familiar with the animal laws in your parish?
For example: in Orleans Parish it’s against the law to have an intact pet — a pet that has not been spayed or neutered. If you decided not to spay or neuter your pet, you must obtain an intact permit. But this law does not apply to other parishes like Jefferson or Plaquemines.
Another example in Orleans Parish is the law concerning community cats. Community cats are feral cats that have been spayed or neutered and vaccinated. Community cats have an identified caretaker in the community and are protected under the law.
