  • If a wild animal has made an intrusion to your actual living space, call the Liberty Animal Control for assistance removing it from your home.

If you are a resident within the city limits of Liberty (with a valid ID or utility bill) having trouble with stray cats in your area, humane live-capture traps may be borrowed from the Liberty Animal Shelter with a $30 deposit. Damage to or failure to return live traps will result in the forfeiture of the applied deposit.
