The Animal Services Department will lend you a wire cage to capture nuisance and nocturnal critters. We will lend you a trap to capture skunks, squirrels, raccoons, opossum, armadillos, and FERAL cats, etc. Someone must be present for the trap to be delivered. Once you call and tell us the animal is in the trap we will pick the trap up. This is a free service to the citizens of the City of Rockwall.
