Feeding wild animals in North Las Vegas is restricted under NLVMC Title 6 and state law. Feeding coyotes, feral cats, and big game is specifically discouraged or prohibited.
North Las Vegas discourages and in several cases prohibits the intentional feeding of wild animals under NLVMC Title 6 Animals. The city receives regular wildlife encounters including coyotes moving down from the desert foothills and in urban washes, bobcats, foxes, rabbits, and quail. Feeding coyotes or other predators is prohibited because it habituates them to humans and creates public safety risks. Nevada Department of Wildlife under NRS 503 regulates feeding of big game (deer, bighorn sheep, elk) statewide, with intentional feeding prohibited in most circumstances. Feral cat colonies require compliance with trap-neuter-return programs and may be restricted in certain zones. Bird feeders are generally permitted but should be maintained to avoid rodent attraction. Leaving food waste or pet food outdoors that attracts wildlife can trigger code enforcement citations. Intentional feeding during drought conditions that concentrates wildlife near homes is strongly discouraged.
