Animal Control in Avalon
A few residents have commented on or noted the stray cats which seem to wander throughout the neighborhood and have either made note of the concern for the health and well being of those animals or noted that some of them are pests in the neighborhood, shedding on porches and harassing pets or wild life on their property. In response to these concerns, the Board would like to share the following guidance.
Our Local Position: The Covenants
The Avalon HOA Board acts in alignment with our covenants in so far as they do not conflict with local, state, or federal law. Specifically as it concerns the maintenance and care of pets, the covenants note the following in Article 11, Section 9:
County Ordinance
What can I do about an animal running loose around my property?
Cats:
Cats are no longer subject to the restraint and confine portion of the new County Ordinance. Lexington County has changed the ordinance regarding cats and has entered a partnership with Pawmetto Lifeline to address the stray cat population and reduce the euthanasia rate. All Lexington County residents are being referred to Pawmetto Lifeline for more information on the community cat program and how to participate in trap, neuter, and release.
