Missing/Stray Cats
The City of Lynn does not have a leash law with respect to cats and generally the ACO will not pick up stray cats due to lack of facilities. However, there may be extenuating circumstances- such as a very sick or injured cat, or abandoned kittens. Under normal circumstances the ACO can provide information about rescues and/or shelters that accept surrendered cats.
If you find a stray cat or lose your cat, you should contact the ACO who may know of someone looking for their cat or holding yours.
Missing/Stray Dogs
If your dog is missing, please contact the ACO as soon as possible. Your dog may have been picked up and kenneled temporarily at the North Shore Animal Hospital. You must demonstrate proof of an active City of Lynn dog license, and all outstanding fines and charges related to kenneling must be paid before the dog will be released.
If you find a stray dog or lose your dog, you should contact the ACO who may know of someone looking for their dog or holding yours.
