Hi, I am in the process of trying to trap yet another feral cat in my area. I have done this before, in fact I have sucessfully trapped, socialized, spayed and placed the four feral kittens I found when I moved in last summer, thanks in part to the help I recieved from this forum. This time around it is the mamma kitty (I call her Shea) that I would like to get ahold of. She seems to be very pregnant, and I would like to bring her in before she gives birth so that there is no question of missing any of the young. Problem is that she is very skittish and will not enter any tight spaces, ruling out the regular traps I used last summer. I do however have an enclosed porch that she occasionaly enters when I put out food (only when the door is WIDE open and I am nowhere in sight). I am hoping you wonderful people can give me advice on which direction to go, from traping a skittish cat, to dealing with an adult, pregnant feral. I have only ever worked with kittens before, so this is a somewhat new situation for me.
Thanks in advance!
