Cat Forum / General Topics / February 2005Catching Ferral Cats
We have had ferral cats in our neighborhood for over six months with a mother a three kittens. They are mal nourished and small. Recently there have been malel cats showing up and I am afraid the female will get pregnant again and the cycle will continue with more cats. Does anyone have experience in trapping cats so that they can be turned over to Animal Adoption agencies? Thanks for any info on this matter. Ebbtide Usually the humane society (or it's equivalent) have humane traps you can use. Usually, though, feral cats are euthanized. I have captured them, had them fixed, and then let them go again. That way the cycle is broken at least with that one cat. > We have had ferral cats in our neighborhood for over six months with a > mother a three kittens. They are mal nourished and small.

The HS told us a neighbor on the next trip has 'trapped' 16 cats recently. A huge and sad problem. > We have had ferral cats in our neighborhood for over six months with a > mother a three kittens.

I would say the local lab could benefit though. >ha ha< >We have had ferral cats in our neighborhood for over six months with a >mother a three kittens. They are mal nourished and small.

I'm down to one female who is to savvy to get in the trap. I expect I will have more kittens soon. < sigh> Fortunately the kittens are all perfectly symmetrically marked little tuxedos ( thanks to Big Daddy who I haven't trapped yet either) and homes are not hard to find.
