Animal Control |

To learn how to care for the health and safety of your animal, read our Animal Control Bylaw. Animal control factsFort Saskatchewan’s Animal Control Bylaw regulates the ownership of dogs, cats, domestic pigeons and domestic rabbits.
Cat controlOwners or care-givers of cats are not permitted to release cats to the outdoors off-leash. Should that occur, the animal may be seized and the owner or care-giver fined. Property owners can take steps to humanely deter unwanted cats from their yards and flower beds. Suggestions include: Choose plants and herbs that naturally deter cats by giving off smells cats dislike, such as Citronella, Coleus, Lavender, Lemongrass, Pennyroyal, and Rue.
While property owners can take steps to deter cats from their yards, remember you cannot do anything to harm the animal.
