Does Animal Services provide cat and dog traps?
Cat traps are provided on a first come/first served basis at the shelter. There are a limited number and recommend citizens call first to see if one is available. The traps can kept for 10 days. Field Officers may deliver cat traps to the elderly or handicap if they are unable to come to the shelter. Dog traps are set by the Field Division in problem areas at the discretion of the Field Supervisor and due to the large size of the traps. There are a limited number and recommend citizens call first to see if one is available. All animals caught in traps need to be reported immediately and officers will pick up the animal. The person trapping, must be present for officers if the area is not accessible, such as enclosed areas (backyards).
