Definitely a humane trap, though as someone said, someone needs to hang out and monitor the trap. If she's hungry she WILL go inside of it to get food. I would put her normal food in there, and not something new that she might not go for.
Hi Zat. I have also socialied some ferals. I have done it in 0 days -1 month with 1-3 month old kittens. :) Except one. She has taken 5 months and was only about a month old when we "met"! As with you, she started out by allowing me to pet her when she ate. Finally, after 5 months, she is asking...
Thank you both! I actually have TEN cats to trap lol, so weeeeee this is gonna be fun. Attaching some ties is a good idea...should be able to manage that! Already caught 4 kittens, and 5 more were just born on my porch...that is more than enough babies! I had no idea there were so many ferals in...

OH Thank you!!! I made a string toy the other day to touch my new feral kittens (just caught 2 more). I wasn't sure it would help, but I'll keep at it, since you had success.

A feral 2-month kitten showed up in my yard, so I set about catching her. I did, and now she's part of the family. While I was working on this, more kittens came into view. Working with 2 currently (ugh also caught the older sister and mother, and they're not happy). Long story short, there are...
