An adorable young tom (apparently dumped in a field near our house) has
adopted us, snoozing on the verandah and enjoying the food we put out
for him daily but he won't let us closer than four or five feet. I'd
love to catch him, take him to the vet for his vasectomy and give him
an indoor home if possible. As we live not far from a busy road I'm
concerned about his safety. Are traps for catching feral animals really
safe to use? Advice on how to use them, if so? All good advice on the
subject of capturing a homeless cat and acclimating it to indoor life
is welcome. Thanks in advance.
