Thank you Hilary for reporting this. I have been calling the number and have left several messages since we discovered the cat, to no avail. My son finally moved it tonight because I was getting very upset about it. Diana

Hi Diana, I appreciate you trying! I walk past there several days a week and it’s upsetting that it’s still there. This is the third time I’ve reported it on Renton Responds (they keep closing the request as if it’s resolved). It used to be a great system, but recently has been horrible. Thanks to your son for moving it! I’ll swing by again tomorrow and report again (please encourage your neighbs to do the same).

Just my opinion. When I see a dead animal, has happened several times, I move it myself, wearing gloves, not a big deal. Quickly get rid of hazard and bad appearance. Give the animal some dignity and respect. I admit moving a dead body is not a pleasant task for many people, so understandable you would ask for help.

Control Officers will respond and address the concern. Please note that not all concerns or complaints will result in a citation and you also may not be able to visibly see that we have responded. Animal Control does not work a 24/7 schedule. If this concern requires an immediate response please call 911 and an officer will respond when available.
