Stray Cats
It has been brought to the attention of the Breitung Town Board that there is an issue with stray/feral cats in town. Please do not feed stray/feral cats; we will consult with local animal assistance companies for removal of the cats. If you notice a large population of the cats in your area, please notify the clerk by emailing clerk@breitungtownshipmn.gov or stopping in during office hours. Thank you.
Animal Ordinance
Breitung Township encourages you to license your pets! It is within our ordinances that dogs and cats must be licensed; it is for your benefit and your pets to purchase a license – if your pet is loose, a license can help easily identify your furry friend and get them back home safely! Licenses last the lifetime of the animal and cost $20 for a spayed/neutered animal or $30 for non-spayed/non-neutered. You can review the animal ordinances here: Breitung » Township Ordinances
