I have borrowed a trap to catch the little stray that has been hanging out at our house for the past 3 months. Will try to catch him on Friday (keep fingers crossed! this is our last hope!!) so I can take him to the vet on Saturday for shots, removal of tight collar etc. I need to have him neutered but that will have to be scheduled next week.
Any advice on how to handle him when caught? He is cautious about being touched, so much so that he bit at another neighbor who was trying to help him -- so how will I get the leash on to walk him? should I just keep him indoors for a few days until he gets used to being with us or will that make him crazy? Our lawn is not enclosed. we have a small dog that he is pals with, but should I keep the stray in a separate room to settle or let him have the run of the house (bearing in mind I will need to supervise with the cats)?
