That's the kind of trap Sumter county uses.
Many counties in Florida have a TNR (Trap, Neuter and Release) program designed to comply with Florida law and regulate the feral cat population more humanely.
Abandonment laws such as FL. Statute 828.13, state "Any person who willingly abandons an animal and allows it to suffer injury or malnutrition is guilty of a 1st degree misdemeanor and may be fined up to $5000 in addition to imprisonment.
TNR programs are in Gainesville, Orlando, Seminole county and Tampa, in this area.
Most counties, such as Sumter, have leash laws that apply to all domestic animals allowed in the home. Sumter Code 4-10 states the animal must be confined on the owners propery at all times or under control or on a leash when off the owners property, otherwise a citation will be issued for the animal running free.
Our Villages Deed Restrictions state "when not within the confines of the home, shall be restrained by a leash."
