I have a feral mama cat that gave us 6 kittens.... We found a home for one and now are working on getting them trapped, spayed and released back into our property. They are here daily for food, twice sometime three times. We named all of them. They are not about to become house cats, far from it, but aren't too afraid. No touching, well one of the neutered males lets me pet him when feeding. Mama cat, is not willing to go into the trap, and looks pregnant AGAIN!! We need to get her fixed. Our local low cost spay and neuter Clinic in Kingman, AZ is helping with the cost. Which we are ever so grateful for. Mama cat had another litter of two, which she abandoned and we are hand feeding them in doors, Even went as far as buying milk substitute. Those two are already eating solid dry food and canned food. 

I would like to learn how to capture mama cat before she drops another litter. Any good advice would be appreciated. Believe me, we have tried just about everything, she just is not only very strong, also don't' want to get fixed. It seems that she knows what we want to do to her.??

I bought mine on Amazon but some people make them and there are some non-profits that will loan them out. I'm in AZ too, although I'm in the Phoenix area.
