The Norfolk City law states: "Section 6.1-8 of the Norfolk City Code allows no more than four (4) adult dogs and four (4) adult cats in any one dwelling unit or premises within the city limits."


Meaning no matter how much money you have, no matter how well you care for them, and no matter how loved they are the city will STILL take your cats from you if you have one more than the law says you can have. Norfolk also requires that you pay as much as $25.00 a month per cat (more for dogs) to get a city license for your cat. These laws a ridiculous and need to be removed or rewritten to stop good people from being punished as if they were animal abusers just because they have one cat or dog more than they're supposed to by norfolk law. Make your statements short, polite and free of cuss words. Do not sign this with little statements made to your friends on here. This is a serious petition. Please do all you can to help.

I believe there should be a clause inacted within this law allowing responsible owners with whom spay/neuter their animals to keep more than 4 animals within the city limits.

I support this petition. It is detrimental to animal rescuers. If you want to stop so-called hoarders, find a better way. Do not destroy the entire barrel of apples because one or two have a spot. This will not stop hoarders, who disregard the law anyway. It will only hamper genuine rescue and humane feral population control efforts. A society is only as good as its treatment of animals. Laws such as this don't say very good things about society ...

This is disgusting. I have multipl pets in my home as well and I'll tell you one thing. If they ever came to my home to snatch my babies from me it'll be over MY DEAD BODY! And maybe even theirs TO!

Well I am glad I found out about this law. We are at this time considering moving to Virginia.. lets just say Norfolk will not be one of the options anymore! This is rediculous to take animals away from someone that cares for them and loves them just to stick them into one of the many kill shelters or sell them to be fed to snakes ( if that is what happened). All I can say is SHAME ON YOU. You politicians and Animal Control people need to remember who we are. We are Americans, last I checked we lived in a free Country. I am not saying someone that neglects or abuses Animals should be allowed to keep them. Lets be honest though, those people that neglect and abuse animals don't get the kind of punishment they deserve! Why is it you want to punish those that want to take care of their animals by putting a licence fee on keeping them? If you instead figured out a way to make castration free it would solve the over population problem. Sometimes I wonder who ever makes laws like these - and how the hell they got in a position to make them. Here I thought it takes some sorta brain to pass highschool -aperantly it takes none to run the City of Norfolk. I am seriously disapointed. D. Hayward

I can't believe the city is punishing this woman for giving her love to "too many" pets. GIVE HER BELOVED PETS BACK TO HER NOW!!!

ok i cant see taking the animals and rats away from her. the rats risk being eaten by pet snakes> How is that better? i can see making her get a special license for being a rescue or even to forbid any more animals but to take the ones she has is outragous

How is this helping these animals to take them from a family where they are loved and cared for just to stick them with strangers. I mean come on this is a no briner question

This woman's much-loved rats were sold by animal control to a store that fed them to snakes, and SHE was abusive to the animals?!?! This is an outrage! Hold animal control accountable for this sadistic form of injustice! THEY committed criminal acts of animal abuse by willingly sending these innocent rats off to be eaten alive, despite receiving numerous inquiries from fellow rat lovers who were willing to adopt them! If this behavior reflects how the city of Norfolk is run, you can be assured that my vacation dollars will be spent elsewhere.
