open #210432

Animal Control & Neglected Pets:

Other: I am reporting a suspected violation of Bloomington Municipal Code (Title 7, including Chapter 7.23 regarding feral cat colonies). At 401 W Watson Street, a resident appears to be harboring a feral cat colony, as defined by allowing animals to remain and be fed on the property. The number of cats has increased significantly, indicating the colony is not being properly managed. This has been reported multiple times on uReport but never properly dealt with. Google Maps imagery shows a large collection of outdoor shelters within a fenced enclosure, suggesting the presence of a substantial number of cats being harbored. The cats regularly roam onto neighboring properties and are creating a nuisance, including noise, sanitation issues, and repeated intrusion. Many appear to be in poor health. Please have Animal Care and Control investigate and take appropriate action to ensure compliance with city ordinances.
