An animal trap includes a housing having a bottom wall, side walls, a top wall and a front opening in the side walls, opposing slots in the side walls adjacent the opening, and opposing channels in the side walls immediately behind the slots; a door slidably mounted in the slots for movement between raised and lowered positions to unblock and block the opening; a platform pivotally positioned on the bottom wall; levers pivotally mounted to the side walls adjacent the opening, each having a front end catch for engaging a lower end of the door to hold the door in the raised position, and a rear end; and lifters slidably guided by the channels for vertical movement between the rear end of the lever and one end of the platform, to cause pivoting of the levers and closing of the door upon pivoting of the platform.
