City of Las Cruces offers cat traps and deterrents

LAS CRUCES – The Las Cruces Police Department Animal Control Division will have cat traps ready for collection beginning Thursday, January 20 in support of the Community Cat Division of the revised Animal Code.

These traps can be picked up at the East Mesa Public Safety Building, 550 N. Sonoma Ranch Blvd, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Traps are loaned for a week and must be returned the following Thursday.

A trap agreement must be signed upon collection. Traps can be delivered by an animal control officer to the elderly and/or disabled. The number of traps is limited, so they are rented on a first come, first served basis.
