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.

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.
