Best Cat Traps
When it comes to catching cats, having the right trap is critical. There are a few things you need in a cat trap, and these two traps have them all. They are large enough to catch any cat and have a rear door, making care and transportation easier.
- Neighborhood Cats Tomahawk Trap GT606 – 36inch most popular size
- Tru Catch Cat Trap 30LTD is the most popular size
Trapping Accessories
Never open a trap with a feral cat in it unless you want the cat to get out. Even if you think the cat is calm and won’t spring for freedom. That’s where a trap divider comes in. You can block off the cat so you can open the trap and change food or bedding. Here are a few cat-trapping accessories that will make the job easier.
Kennels and Cages
Keeping the kitties contained but with space to move is ideal when working with feisty animals. This equipment is great for longer-stay ferals, and cat fosters alike.
Best Food For Feral Cats
Here’s some inexpensive food and treats that ferals and strays absolutely love. We feed our ferals grain-free wet food, and the other neighbors leave dry kibble as well. In addition to delicious wet food, bring some treats to the colony next visit and treat those kitties to extra lovin! It’s a great way to socialize even the most timid of cats.
