City of Mühlheim implements a comprehensive cat protection ordinance for its entire jurisdiction
The Municipal Council of Mühlheim am Main has taken a significant step towards addressing the issue of stray cats by adopting the "Ordinance on the Protection of Free-Roaming Cats" on August 4, 2025. This new regulation, set to come into force on November 9, 2025, aims to curb uncontrolled reproduction of cats to prevent significant animal welfare problems.
The new regulations apply to all domestic cats aged five months and older that have access to the outdoors. This means that even registered breeding operations and those with serious veterinary medical reasons may be exempted from the sterilization requirement in specific cases.
Owners of such cats are required to have them sterilized, microchipped, and registered in a free pet registry such as Tasso or FINDEFIX. If a cat cannot be clearly assigned to an owner, it may be taken into custody and presented to a veterinarian within 24 hours for sterilization and identification.
In cases where an exemption is sought, a veterinary certificate must be provided. It's worth noting that an additional tattoo is possible for identification purposes. Upon request by the local authority, appropriate evidence must be provided.
After treatment, the animal will be released at its original location. It's important to note that the costs of these measures will be borne by the responsible parties.
