The Animal Control Section is authorized to place, upon request of the property owner or lessee, live-capture animal traps on private or public property to trap and remove stray, at large, abandoned or nuisance animals. It is unlawful for any person other than an animal control officer or the officer’s designee to remove any animal from the trap or to damage, destroy, move or tamper with the trap. The Animal Control Section is authorized to receive and impound animals that are trapped by other agencies or persons. The Animal Control Section shall offer to a property owner, lessee, or other resident who calls about stray or community cats information about Trap-Neuter-Return, and shall offer to refer the individual to a Trap-Neuter-Return Program.
