SAFE TRAPS
RECOMMENDED TRAPS
Though most traps will trap a cat, we highly recommend the Tru-Catch traps. Other brands of traps
work well, but the Tru-Catch traps operate more quietly than other brands. Less noise means that the cats will be less fearful
of the trap, thereby making trapping numerous cats less time-consuming. To the best of our knowledge these traps can only
be purchased online. They may be a bit more expensive than other traps, but if you are planning on trapping a good-sized colony,
then you may want to consider checking out a Tru-Catch trap.

how to set a Tru-Catch Trap.
DEMONSTRATION VIDEO - HOW TO SET A TRU-CATCH TRAP
We recommend purchasing the Tru-Catch 30" trap with rear release door. This rear
door makes it easy to release a skunk, raccoon, or a cat that has previously been trapped. (To release a skunk, use a broom
handle to lift the rear door!)

Havahart traps are very affordable and are available for purchase
at your local Tractor Supply store, pet stores, lawn and garden centers, and home improvement centers. They are reasonably
priced and work very well when trapping a small colony. These traps have a solid metal
entrance door instead of the mesh door on the Tru-Catch traps. The metal door is loud when it shuts and can scare off other
cats that you may need to trap. Other than that, the traps works well.

DROP TRAPS
We have drop traps available if you have a hard-to-trap cat, or if you want to trap
more than one cat at a time instead of using several traps.

use a drop trap.

POST-OP CARE FOR FERAL CATS
This feral
cat post-op cage setup (which has been published in "The TNR Handbook," by Neighborhood Cats, is an excellent, and
safe, method of caring for feral cats during their confinement period after surgery. The setup reduces stress for the cat,
and also eliminates escape, scratches and injuries to the caretaker. Click on the TNR Handbook and scroll to page 70.
