We traveled a couple of times with our cats and one thing we do is put a harness and leash on them just in case. I dont know if its feasible since your kitty is feral. You are probably not planning on oppenning the crate but I feel safer to know that if my cats escaped I have more chance to get...

Thanks Ondine. I really hope this works out.

I can have help, but i'll be waiting just beside the patio (inside). I can't be outside, there is no space for me to wait without them seeing me. The string is going to go through the door (open enough for the string) and I'll be behind the curtain. The cats are used to eat even when there is...

Thanks a lot for your input. I just ordered a 32" carrier and will try with that one. The cats are used to be fed beside a patio where they have to go down a few steps and the space is very very limited. Did you quickly pull the string or slowly ? My fear is that the cat is going to panic and...

I have no luck with a humane trap Nor a drop trap, the cats won't even come near it. Anyone here have tried to trap with a carrier (24") Tied to a string that you pull when the cat is Inside eating, how did it go ? Thanks !

I was supposed to bring her on Tuesday. But she escaped. I don't know how, I am so angry at myself for letting this happened. And this is not where I caught her-new territory (even though she was also a new cat on her previous territory). Do you think she will hang around where she escaped ? I...

Nobody claimed him, but I found a foster family through a rescue for him :). But I just caught a new cat.. Again, this one too is friendly but skinny. She seems well, except her belly seems a bit hard (firm). Any idea why ?

Yes he is well fed and healthy. I have put up posters where I found him. Either he is recently lost/abandoned or simply and indoor/outdoor cat. I am going to wait a bit more. Why dont people identify their cat ?!

I am in Canada. I've posted on a similar website and put up fliers. I have one lady who might be interested in taking him through an ad I posted on kijiji (like craiglist). My fear is that he already has a home and I am sort of kidnapping him....

I will try to be brief.. I am trying to relocate a small colony (3 cats). Last 2 weeks there is a new cat I see coming to eat from my feeding station ...well I start the trapping to relocate the 3 ferals.. Guess who gets caught? Yes the new guy. Already neutered and declawed. No microchip. I am...

I had no news of the kittens but I know the lady that took them has experience with ferals. They were put in good hands :). As for the mama, no success. I will buid a drop trap and try to trap her next week. I will install a trail camera and see when she comes to eat. At the same time, I will...

Well I can't establish a schedule (since yes I have a real life!), but I've seen her on occasion around 6 or 9 pm. A drop trap might be good, I'll try to look for one.

Well this cat does not go in the trap. I left an open carrier with food inside and water outside so she can get familiar with the carrier. Last two times I came to check the door was closed due to the wind... She doesn't even care to open it back. So I put the water bowl to hold the door... She...

She came to eat 2 nights ago, but not last night..I don't know if it has to do with the weather being nicer last night

Yes of course she was spayed :). I thought too if she had an owner, he/she was not responsible for letting her be super hungry. Her coat is soft and shiny and she is very friendly, I think she has a home. The owner must have been surprise to see the kitty come back with a shaved belly and an...

Yes, I failed to trap her again last weekend :(. Thing is this kitty is in my friend's backyard (well my sister in law). I asked her to just try to notice when she comes to eat so it is easier for me to come at the right time.. And tell her to fill the feeder when it is empty (I provide the...

So there is this one black cat that I feed. She would run away anytime she sees me, so I assume she was feral. And she comes after the sun comes down, around 9 or 11 pm. Then last week I caught her (I think it was her, unless it was another black cat..) to be sterilized. She was really nervous...

A really nice and expericend lady took the 2 kittens as fosters and will be socializing them :). A really happy ending for those babies even tough I was sad to let them go.. I was already becoming attached :(. Now I have to find a way to trap mama kitty, the one who will NOT go into the trap.

Yes I do talk to them, my family thinks I am crazy ;). I am now able to play with the second kitten with a string. The first one is still hesitant, but I think the 2nd kitten gives her a good example :D. They also will gladly accept tuna and treats. They are already sterilized. It has cost me...

I always imagine how hard their life must be :( and I feel so bad. You could be right about the large amount of cats being only last year's litter or the year before, the ones I tnr'ed are quite young ~1 yr old. It seems like there's 1 cat left in that colony to trap, very smart cat. He's the...
