California, Court Action No. 30-2014-00736691, concerning Orange County Animal Care's
("OCAC") policies and practices relating to impounded animals.
The parties desire to enter into this Settlement Agreement in full settlement and discharge
ofall claims which are, or might have been, the subject matter ofthe Complaint, upon the terms
and conditions set forth below.
1. EUTHANIZATION WITHIN HOLDING PERIOD

in California Food and Agricultural Code section 17006, to any statutorily authorized rescue
group under section 501(c)(3) ofthe Internal Revenue Code, that has requested and is able to
take the stray animal prior to the scheduled euthanasia date. Nothing in this provision is meant
to preclude OCAC from enacting any policy that does not restrict existing law.
3. DEPARTMENT POLICIES
After review and discussion by all parties of OCAC policies and procedures, OCAC will
amend policy sections 400.07,400.12,400.13,400.27,400.29, and 600.14 as agreed upon by the

1. PURPOSE
In an effort to be in compliance with the ASV Guidelines for Standardsof Care in
Animal Shelters (ASV GSCAS) the following Policy and Procedure has been
written and will be adhered to by all staffofDC Animal Care, Shelter Services.
The Five Freedoms - Freedom from Hunger and Thirst, Freedom from
Discomfort, Freedom from Pain, Injury or Disease, Freedom to Express Normal
Behavior, and Freedom from Fear and Distress will be at the root of every Policy
and Procedure and the core of the works done at OC Animal Care.
The Guidelines are setup with categories of "Must", "Should" and "Ideal". OCAC
will strive to maintain or achieve the "Must "category in all aspects ofthe Shelter
by adhering to the Policy and Procedures written to follow the Guidelines.
To establish guidelines for the spaying and neutering of Feral Cats
II. POLICY
Per the ASV GSCAS topic Managementand Record Keeping, Establishmentof
Policies and Procedures every Shelter Must:
o Develop and document protocols in sufficient detail to achieve and
maintain the standards described in this document, and update them as
needed to ensure that they reflect current information and pertinent
legislation.
Per the ASV GSCAS topic Animal Handling, Feral Cats, every Shelter Should:
o When capturing or transporting feral cats, squeeze cages, feral cat boxes
or humane box traps with dividers should be used for the most humane
restraint and for administering tranquilizing injections prior to handling.
Per California Code 31752.5:
(a) The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(1) Domestic cats' temperaments range from completely docile
indoor pets to completely unsocialized outdoor cats that avoid
all contact with humans.
(2) "Feral cats" are cats with temperaments that are
completely unsocialized, although frightened or injured tame pet
cats may appear to be feral.
(3) Some people care for or own feral cats.
(4) Feral cats pose particular safety hazards for shelter
employees,

(5) It is cruel to keep feral cats caged for long periods of
time; however, it is not always easy to distinguish a feral cat
from a frightened tame cat.
(b) For the purposes of this section, a "feral cat" is defined as a
cat without owner identification of any kind whose usual and consistent
temperament is extreme fear and resistance to contact with people. A
feral cat is totally unsocialized to people.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 31752, if an apparently feral cat has not
been reclaimed by its owner or caretaker within the first three days of
the required holding period, shelter personnel qualified to verify the
temperament of the animal shall verify whether it is feral or tame by
using a standardized protocol. If the cat is determined to be docile or
a frightened or difficult tame cat, the cat shall be held for the
entire required holding period specified in Section 31752. If the cat
is determined to be truly feral, the cat may be euthanized or
relinquished to a nonprofit, as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code, animal adoption organization that agrees to the
spaying or neutering of the cat if it has not already been spayed or
neutered. In addition to any required spay or neuter deposit, the pound
or shelter, at its discretion, may assess a fee, not to exceed the
standard adoption fee, for the animal released.
It is the policyof OCACto save the livesof healthycommunity cats.
