Dozens of cats running loose, creating nuisance
Woman living in an RV in the back yard is operating an open air cat kennel without a permit. She also provides food, water or shelter to a colony of feral cats without being registered with the City of Bloomington Animal Care and Control Department or its designee. There are 3 walk in cages housing cats in the back yard. I have a video illustrating this if you will contact me I can share it. I am an Environmental Health Specialist with the Monroe County Health Department.
Larry Williams called into Elizabeth Walter at the Mayor's office to complain about the property at 612 N. Monroe being over run with cats (around 10) and trash. He owns four neighboring properties: 623, 631, 635, 639 N. Monroe. He filed a uReport about this himself over a month ago and said there hasn't been any progress on the matter. I filed this for Animal Control but HAND and Public Works may be interested as well since there is an abundance of trash as well.

While walking our dog, the neighbors (5910 S Foxwood Ln) dog (large fluffy yellow) came charging across the street, jumped and took our 80lb lab down by the neck. The neighbors dog never barked or growled, just attacked. I never heard him approaching, even with my hearing aids. My husband saw the dog charging and started yelling since this particular dog has attacked other dogs in the neighborhood. My husband jumped on the dogs, removing the neighbors dog from ours and holding it onto the ground. I ran to our dog and crouched over him in case the other managed to get free. Our son ran to the neighbors door to alert them of their dog. Amber, our neighbor, came out to get her dog and was apologetic. She is having a party and someone opened the door and the dog got out. However, this extremely aggressive and unprovoked behavior by her dog has happened before so I want this on record. I will speak to my neighbor when I calm down. We checked our dog for injuries when we got home and he seems guarded but uninjured.
I am a teacher at Binford Elementary. I work with a student who lives in this home. While over winter break, our school skills development instructor went into the home. This individual stated there is a dog with a "visibly broken leg." When our skills instructor requested information on the dog, the family changed the subject. In the home are two parents, three sons and one daughter. All three sons have autism that result in physically abusive explosions. I am the teacher of the oldest son who is unhealthily obsessed with his cat. He makes disturbing comments about the cat and students have said he has made sexual advances towards the animal. I have never heard anything directly from this student about the advances, but he does make comments that are concerning about his love for the cat. The skills instructor stated the house was very messy and had a terrible odor from the inside, possibly due to the animals inside the home. I am unsure as to how many pets there are.
