Las Vegas shelter offers cat traps to valley residents

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) - Outdoor, free-roaming cats can be anywhere from socialized to feral but the Animal Foundation says without intervention, they can quickly reproduce.

The Animal Foundation also says that these cats are at risk of being unwanted and ignored. As a result, the organization has what it calls, the “Trap-Neuter-Return” services.

As part of the program, residents can help outdoor cats by renting a trap from the Animal Foundation, then the shelter will spay, neuter, and vaccinate the cats for free.

According to The Animal Foundation, as part of the Community Cat Program, residents can rent out a trap for a $50 refundable deposit. Once the trap is returned, the shelter will refund the deposit.
