Live Traps
LIVE TRAP LOANER PROGRAM
For those of you who reside in areas we contract and provide service for
we do offer live trap(s) for you to use to assist in safely and humanely
capturing stray cats.
We do require you to provide a current and valid identification verifying
residency in our service area. We do ask for a deposit that is refunded
when you return the trap back to the shelter in working order, before we
return your deposit back to you.
We will show you how to set up the trap, suggest the best areas to place
it, ways to ensure it works swiftly and humanely, and food suggestions
for the trap. A few minutes of your time here at the shelter for a
demonstration is also provided if you request it.
Any animal caught in the trap is your responsibility to transport to the
Humane Society, and if an animal is caught other than a cat or small dog,
it is your responsibility to relocate or humanely euthanize. The Mesabi
Humane Society does not accept wildlife animals, and if one is found in a
trap, we suggest you call the D.N.R. or Fish and Wildlife management.
Some local veterinarians may also be able to assist you with other types of
animals.
There is no actual cost to you for the use of our live trap, but we do
always appreciate donations to help offset the cost of incoming animals
caught using our traps.
Please call the Mesabi Humane Society at 218-741-7425 with any questions.
Ask for Jesse.
