Dead Animal Pick-Up

To request dead animal pick-up in the City of Beverly Hills and on public property, please phone the City of Beverly Hills at (310) 285-PETS (7387).  If you have a dead animal on private property you may contact an independent licensed animal trapper or extermination company for service. or phone the PETS number for referral. 

Feral Cat TNR Program

Feral cats live permanently outside of a domestic home and are not owned as companion animals or pets. The City of Beverly Hills City Council adopted the Beverly Hills Feral Cat TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) Program to humanely manage the feral cat population.

The Community Preservation Division regulates the Feral Cat TNR Program. Those interested in participating may submit an application for a TNR Partner or Individual Permit by contacting the Community Preservation Division at (310) 285-1119.

Tips and Resources 

There are two ways to help keep unwanted wildlife away from your property: 

  1. Property maintenance: This includes well maintained fences and perimeter walls, intact screens on sub-floor and roof vents, and a clean trash bin area where bins are kept tightly closed at all times.
  1. Do not feed your pets outside, or feed wildlife at any time; this includes birds, squirrels, etc. In fact, the feeding of urban wildlife is prohibited.

For more information on dealing with stray, feral, or outdoor pets visit the Humane Society web page.
