Moorpark follows Ventura County rules requiring rabies vaccination for cats and encouraging indoor housing or supervised outdoor access, particularly given coyote activity in foothill neighborhoods near Moorpark Country Club.
Cats in Moorpark are subject to Ventura County animal control rules administered through Conejo Valley Animal Control. Rabies vaccination is required, and licensing is encouraged for owner identification. While cats are not subject to leash laws, owners are responsible for nuisance behavior such as roaming onto neighbor properties or hunting protected wildlife. Foothill residents are urged to keep cats indoors due to coyote predation risk along open space corridors near COSCA-managed land. Trap-neuter-return programs operate for community cats with Animal Services oversight.
Unvaccinated cats, repeat trespass nuisance complaints, and abandoned colonies can result in citations and impoundment fees from Animal Services.
