Feral Cat Trap, Neuter & Return (TNR) Program
The Village of Bellevue has created a feral cat trap, neuter, and return (TNR) program in conjunction with Cats Anonymous. The TNR program is a humane way to control the feral cat population. In this program, cats are humanely trapped, spayed/neutered, given a rabies shot and returned to their original location under the care of an individual called a caretaker. Feral cats that have been spayed or neutered have a cropped ear like the cat pictured at left. If you are caring for a feral/semi-feral, outdoor or barn cat and would like to participate in the TNR program, please contact the Animal Control/Humane Officer, Monica Hoff at the phone number listed below. The veterinarians at Cats Anonymous are volunteer veterinarians. To assist in covering the cost of medicine and anesthetics, Cats Anonymous suggests, but does not require, a $50 donation for cats participating in the TNR program.

Checklist for dog owners:
- Does your dog (and cat too) have a license? This is not your rabies tag; it is a license you obtain from the Village.
- When you walk your dog off your property; it needs to be on a leash and pick up the waste.
- Please keep the dog waste in your yard to minimum
- Please make sure your dog is not greeting all people walking by the yard. Remember, some people are fearful, allergic or just do not care for a strange dog approaching them. Additionally, if they are walking a dog, the two may not get along. NO DOG or CAT should be loose while off their owners property.
- Do you keep your dog and/or cat from creating a disturbance in the neighborhood?
- Every dog (and cats too) should wear a collar with owners id on it. Cats should wear a breakaway collar to prevent injury from snagging.
