I know there are lots of trapping threads already, but wondered if I could get some advice from the top. We rent our house out a lot, and returned after a 3month rental to find we had inherited a stray cat and her 3 kittens. We are currently caring for them as we have not sucessfully found new homes (being in Brazil where there are far more stray cats than cat lovers) and they are now all vaccinated and the mother neutered.
But...we are about to rent our house again to people with severe cat allergies. We have a holiday home lined up for them all, but we have been unable to catch the mother to take her there. She comes within about a foot of me, but that's as close as I can get. I have managed to entice her into a cage, but can't get the lid closed before she jumps out. She is very quick!! Unfortunately, we only have 2 days left to gain enough trust to get her safely housed. She was taken to the vets for neutering by our previous tenants, so it must be possible, but don't know how they managed it!!
Tips and advice really appreciated.
