We recommended that you seek qualified training and experienced advice before attempting to humanely trap feral cats. ***Attend one of our frequently held Trap Training Workshops!
Always make sure you follow compassionate guidelines for trapping feral cats. For example, always line the humane trap with newspaper to protect the cat's toes from getting injured. Don't trap during extreme heat or during cold weather. For more tips, attend a Trap Training Workshop!
If you are using a personal veterinarian or other animal clinic for the TNR process, please make sure you have an appointment scheduled prior to trapping and that you inform the office that you are bringing in a feral cat. Each office may have its own policy for handling feral cat spay & neuter. Ask the vet to LEFT EAR TIP the cat for future identification.
