Which trap should I be using??

Quick question -

Home Depot sells this one (which is what my husband bought for me):

But after researching more - I found this one:

Will the first one suffice or should I return it and get the second one?

Thanks!

Hi Teshia,

I would say the first one will suffice. it is very similar to the ones i have used. It does appear that the second one has a little easier access for once the cat is captured and it gives you a burlap cover to calm the cat. However with ferals, you will have a hand full regardless. invest in a good pair of capture gloves. it is worth it.
We have captured raccoons, skunks, possums, and cats with the design of your first choice.
I do not believe there is any significant difference between the two as far as the welfare of the animal.. they both should be safe and humane enough for you.
Good luck!

I am sooooooo excited! I looked through some local classifieds and someone was selling 3 of the Havahart traps (the first link I gave) for only $65 total!!! I am picking them up on Sunday - so excited!!!

btw- I pm'd you a few days ago and it said your box was full.

Oh, they were definitely come in handy! =) I'm so excited to get them! I'll pick them up this Sunday. She's a good hour away so I am planning it w/ a trip to pick up a bunch of donations from people who are helping out w/ the benefit yard sale I'm putting together.

It's okay- I just wanted to make sure you weren't wondering why you didn't have replies.
