               It shall be unlawful for any person, without the consent of the owner or keeper, knowingly
               and intentionally to harbor, keep in possession by confinement or otherwise any dog
               or cat that does not belong to him/her. Any person in possession of a stray dog or
               cat shall contact the animal control unit within three days to arrange for impoundment
               or advertise such stray animal in the local media for three consecutive days. Should
               the harborer of the stray animal select to advertise the animal, and the owner of
               such animal does not respond by the tenth day following the initial appearance of
               such stray dog or cat, the individual who has advertised shall be deemed the legal
               owner and shall abide by rules set forth within this chapter and the general statutes.
