btw.. Milton By-law.Cats do not require registration or a license, however; every owner of a cat must have a collar with the owner's name and address permanently inscribed. Cat owners must ensure that their pets do not run at large and follow all other guidelines according to the Animal Control By-law.
No owner shall permit his or her animal to trespass or to be at large in any public place or on private property without the consent of the property owner.
I've lived in the Milton area for years and to the best of my recollection this has never been enforced in town. We have bylaw officers and I have nieghbours with cats wandering around all the time and have for years. No issue here since I have large dogs.
now if we could figure out how to get the raccoons, opossums , and the crop of skunks out of town , that would be helpful
