Humane officers find cat with trap caught on leg in Boise neighborhood
BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — A cat is healing after being found by Humane officers with a trap caught on its leg, Idaho Humane Society says.
In a Facebook post, IHS says Animal Care and Control officers found the cat walking around a neighborhood off Pine Avenue near Cloverdale Road. The cat gave chase, but an officer was able to capture it and bring it to the shelter.
Staff at Idaho Humane Society sedated the cat to remove the trap. "Thankfully, this cat's injuries were limited to its paw and we were able to provide medical care and reunite it with its owners," the post says.
Idaho Humane Society is encouraging those in the neighborhood to keep a watchful eye on children. IHS also recommends keeping pets inside whenever possible, and checking on outdoor cats regularly, along with checking the routes the animals take.
