Hi.. I have been going thru my stuff for a yard sale and I have this cat trap that I had bought a couple years ago. After finding out one feral cat I had trapped had FIV/FELV, I tried to clean the trap real well and basically stripped the protection cover without realizing it. Now it's a bit rusted but the trap still works.

Should I sell it or get rid of it? Is it safe to use for trapping cats?

I think it is still safe to use...I would donate it to a feral cat rescue group. Are you anywhere near Prince George county?
