[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't just show up at the pound and drop off an animal. Even if you do it without speaking to anyone, you're on camera.

The one I volunteer at always tracks down anyone who drops off an animal afterhours as it's a crime in our city.

When you come to drop the animals, you have to provide ID. You'll be able to say you found the cats once but not twice. There will be a record. No one finds the same cat twice - it just doesn't happen. Also, once they have your address from your ID and they scan the cats for a microchip, they'll have your neighbor's address (hopefully) and know what's up.

If this is VA, cats and dogs are considered personal property. [b]It's illegal for you to take them to relocate them or turn them in. You can call an animal control officer to get an animal on your property, but detaining the animal until they get there is illegal and considered an unlawful detention. [/b]

LOL. No.[/quote]

+1. Check earlier on the thread. MoCo and Fairfax specifically allow OP to trap a cat and bring it up in. Other counties probably do too, but I don’t have the time to check. [/quote]

MoCo will even lend OP a humane trap. [/quote]

They do this for TNR purposes, not so that a bitter neighbor can trap an owned cat and bring them to the shelter. Are you insane?[/quote]

Nope. You’re insane. They do this for “nuisance animals” according to the statute. [/quote]

a neighbor’s pet behaving normally is not a nuisance animal. [/quote]

MoCo has regulations about cats pooping outside the owner’s yard. It’s actually illegal and and subject to a $100 fine. Also, a cat can’t “trespass” on someone else’s property without permission. Other counties have regs too.  So yes, the cat is a go***mn nuisance. Your cat is not as cute as you think.[/quote]

So call animal control and ask them to fine the neighbor! Then the problem is solved, right?

You could also ask your neighbor to clean up any cat sh**. [/quote]
