Wisconsin requires cats, like dogs, to be vaccinated against rabies. Rock County does not license cats countywide, and at-large or nuisance cat rules are set by each municipality. Owners remain responsible for damage or nuisance their cats cause.
Wisconsin's rabies law (Wis. Stat. 95.21) requires owners to have both dogs and cats vaccinated against rabies by the deadlines in the statute. Rock County licenses dogs through the County Clerk but does not run a countywide cat-licensing program; cat confinement, at-large, and nuisance rules are adopted by individual cities, villages, and towns. Some municipalities require cats to be kept on the owner's property or restrained, and impose limits on the number of cats. Free-roaming, unvaccinated, or nuisance cats can be impounded under local codes. Check your municipal ordinance for cat-specific confinement and licensing rules where you live.
Failing to vaccinate a cat against rabies violates Wis. Stat. 95.21; nuisance or at-large cats may be impounded and the owner cited under municipal code.
