It starts with the trap

Trapping Feral Cats:
Well, I know it sounds obvious, it starts with the trap.
Net Style traps (pictured pictured below)




Standard wire traps (pictured pictured below)





















In general,
The standard wire trap is more common than the Net Style. Most ferals will enter the standard wire trap and "trip" the door by stepping on the "trigger" mechanism.

The net style trap is used when a "more" difficult feral, who won't enter the wire style cage, gives the trap a better opportunity to catch the feral.

My TNR (Trap aNd Release) team uses both with success. We have trapped over 100 ferals since May 2008. (spayed and neutered)
