I trapped a feral cat from our backyard and drove her over an hour to Austin because my city does not have a TNR program. It was well worth it! Occasionally she demands to be petted now, before we couldn't get anywhere near her.

boom bob trust me she was no one's pet. If you ever come across a feral cat you know it's feral.

I'd like to offer a few additional tips to use on this style of trap especially for those cats who are skittish or smart: 1. When placing the blanket over the trap, I drape the blanket over the sides but leave the back end of the trap visible so the trap looks more like a tunnel. If a cat can see the food and see through the trap it's more likely to go inside to investigate than if the sides and back are 'closed off' 2. I recommend using a layer of cardboard instead of newspaper. My experience has shown that some cats are particular about the feel of what they're walking on. They don't really like the wire bottom and while newspaper helps, you can still feel the wire somewhat unless you put down a lot of layers. Plus the newspaper can make noise when the cat walks on it. Or it there's even the slightest of breeze, the newspaper moves around and whatnot 3. You can make the trip plate more sensitive and also increase the surface area of the trip plate by laying a larger piece of cardboard over top of the metal trip plate. I've had cats that were big enough / smart enough to walk in the trap, eat the food and walk back out even when the food is placed at the very back. So if the metal trip plate is 3 -4 inches long, lay a piece of stiff cardboard that's 8 - 11 inches long on top of the metal plate. You can put 2 layers of cardboard on if you wish. The cardboard is stiff enough to hold the cats weight long enough that it will set off the trip plate earlier but not so early that the cat has time to back out after tripping the trap. 4. If you trap a female that's in heat or an active male tom, save the towel(s) you used to cover the trap(s) to use on future trappings. Chances are good that the cat will have sprayed on the towel during its time in the trap. I kept a few of these towels inside a sealed trash bag (to trap the smell) that were part of my trapping 'toolkit.' Sometimes reusing a towel that reeked of cat was enough to bring around more cats. 5. Unless you have the tools, DO NOT try to transfer a feral cat from a trap to an animal carrier. TNR works. Please get your pet spayed or neutered.

Sappy, do you know how to trap a cat that had already been trapped & is now learn. This cat has a broken leg & I want to catch him & get it fixed (get the leg fixed). But he got out of the drop trap jumping around. He will be drop-trap-shy now, most likely. With his three-legged hopping, he won't go in a Tru-catch trap for big cats either . Do you have any ideas? Would a snare work, or would it injure him? How about a net with a pulley? ( IDK if I could be fast enough, or how I'd get him out of the net into a carrier, even if I could catch him. I am totally at a loss. Thanks.

So happy with the way the Trucatch traps and Tomahawk drop traps work. And so blessed to have a clinic that is great and low priced as I am doing this alone. Every spay and neuter stops so many kittens from being born. If you want a kitty there are plenty in the shelters who need your love.

@@toridarko when you are trying to trap them you can use food. The vets dont like them to eat after midnight the night prior to their surgery. For example if they are getting surgery on Monday morning use food to catch them sunday but dont give them food after midnight. Water is ok. And keep them in traps separately. Then after their surgery you can offer wet food as long as they have fully come out of anesthesia. If they eat that then you can resume regular feedings. If they don't eat by next day you should contact the vet to tell them. The clinic you are taking them to should also supply you with pre and post op instructions. I think it is great you are doing tnr. If you need any help please let me know. I'll do what I can.

@@kathleenplumley1626 after their surgery I set them up separately in large dog crates with litter boxes, soft food and water bowls and a cat carrier with the door opened and a soft cozy blanket inside.

I constantly monitor them checking their eye, walking, the surgical area. The boys heal quickly. I have been told, and I agree, that keeping them in captivity too long causes depression and they heal quicker when they are around their own colony. I had one kitty who needed surgery for a huge abcess at the base of his tail. I had to keep him in his crate for almost 10 days till he healed. He looked so sad but he was feral and he did not want to make friends with me. But he healed fully and was very happy to be released.

Beverly, since you've done TNR so much, do you have any ideas that might help me? There is a stray that acts feral with a possible broken front leg. I want to catch him & take him to the vet. He was starting to get used to me feeding him, would let me be 10 ft away while he ate. Nut now that he is injured, he stays 20-30 ft away. He won't go in a standard trap (like Havahart or Tru-Catch). I borrowed a drop trap. Eventually, I trapped him. But when I put the tru-catch trap up to the drop trap slide-up door, he dashed against the side (like a bull in a china shop) and knocked the tru-catch away & squeezed out. (If I'd had help or hadn't been my first time, I don't think this would've been such a failure.) Now, he will be drop-trap-shy. Is there anything else i can do? Would a snare or net work? I don't want to give up. Any ideas that you would have would be greatly appreciated.

@@CarlosRodriguez-qe7ml I only caught him the first time (discussed above). But, what I did that worked was to leave a bite of food every 12 inches or so, leading into the trap. Or leading to under the trap if it is a drop trap. The food that finally helped me catch him that one time was fried Chicken from a deli. Well it was either fried or baked. I just broke off a few pieces and left a trail of chicken pieces into back of the drop trap, and then a little bowl of food at the very back where the cage touches the ground. (So he would stop there and start eating, not watching his surroundings, and giving me a chance to pull the rope to make the trap drop down.) I had a rope tied to the leg or whatever you want to call it that you pull to make the trap drop. The rope went from tied around that leg, to inside the house because I found that if I was outside he wouldn't go anywhere near the trap. Then I set up a surveillance camera outside and set it to make a noise notification on my phone if there was motion (motion-activated camera - Merkury Geeni at Walmart $28). But I also watched the video feed on my phone like a hawk. Also, have everything you need nearby the trap in case you do catch him. Extra towels, weights to put on the traps. And if you use a drop trap you have to be able to transfer him into another portable trap since the drop trap doesn't have a bottom. if your drop trap doesn't have something that mechanically connects it to the portable trap, I would strongly suggest you have another person to help you hold both traps down so when he goes into the portable trap he wont squeeze out between them before you can slide the trap door down real quick, without him getting away. If chicken doesn't work, try sardines, kipper, tuna in oil, any really smelly fish, try different flavors of wet cat food or meat that comes in babyfood jars, or those little vienna sausages --cut up of course. You could maybe even try milk or cheese. Or whatever wet (or dry) food that he is using fed. Or BBQ some chicken or steak in the yard so he can smell it, then use some of that food. I hope something helps you catch the one you are trying to catch. Please let me know if you have any questions. I might be able to explain things a little better if any of this is confusing.

@@CarlosRodriguez-qe7ml also, some people put a cardboard box around the trap. (Cats love cardboard boxes.). If you can't find a box that the trap will fit in, just cut up some pieces & tape them together. Some cats wont walk on newspaper. So instead of newspaper on the floor of the trap, you could try a towel or a very light cardboard piece. Put the trap where you usually feed the cat, assuming you normally feed it. Maybe if you gave me more information on the situation I might be able to help with some more ideas. What kind of trap have you tried using so far? Have you tried to drop trap yet? You have to be more attentive with the drop the traps, but the cat I was trying to catch would not go into a regular trap. I think that hopping on three legs made it impossible for him to get inside the trap without triggering it to close too soon, before he got in. (Poor thing.) BTW I got some of those recommendations from TNR & other pet-related Facebook groups, by calling local Humane Society, PETA & posting in Facebook groups. It question one of the Facebook groups that I was able to find a lady who going to be the top trap and gave me a bunch of ideas.

My cat Daisy, is a rescue. She was kicked out of her original home, and left to fend for herself on the streets for 2 weeks. My mom found her during one of her runs, and Daisy followed her back home. She stayed with us for three days, and was supplied with cat food, water and a comfortable pillow to sleep on. She is so friendly and nice, we really wanted to keep her. We brought her to the Human Society in our town, and she stayed there for a week and was spayed and vaccinated. She stayed at the Human Society for a week to see if anybody would come and claim her, but nobody did. She is a healthy brown tabby who now resides comfortably in our home. I'm glad we could give our cute kitty a happy home to stay on!

I've got a friendly community cat in my apartment complex who'd had a few litters of kittens. She disappeared for a few months but showed up again recently with her ear clipped. I thought she'd got in a fight but now I know it means she's been spayed :)

We are always looking for volunteers and donations. Thanks for reading.

If people are worried about them catching pets, it's highly unlikely. You can immediately see whether they have a collar or a cut eartip. Even if they don't, at the vet they can scan for microchips and check to see if they've already been fixed. And, you can generally tell if a cat is feral because they rarely trust humans and are very jumpy. If a pet cat has no collar or microchip, then they are at risk of getting lost, so you shouldn't let a pet out without either of those things. And most importantly, if they aren't fixed, they should not be let allowed out. If they are too young to be fixed, that also means they probably shouldn't be allowed out.

Great video. One of my neighbors brought two adult feral cats into the neighborhood after they had been spayed and neutered. She had four kids and a dog, so the very skittish cats didn't take to her yard and they ran over to mine. She thought they had completely run away, and I never knew they were living in my yard for at least two months. Finally, I found one of them sitting on my porch, and she was totally emaciated. I started leaving food and water out for her. She starting plumping up very soon after that. Then the male appears about a week later, also looking very emaciated. Within a month or so, they started looking like normal cats after regular feedings. I had to get used to the fact that they would not let you near them, although the female eventually started to let me near her when I fed her. She was two years old according to my neighbor. The male was very tough and had survived to be 8 years old in the wild, but he was always too terrified to come near so he ate when there were no humans around. I bought them a little house for the outdoors, and they stayed warm in that. I once tried to bring the female into my house, and she totally freaked out, so I just decided to let her live on her own terms....she was definitely an outside feral cat. The kitties thrived in my yard until the male just disappeared one day. He stayed with me for 4 years. I named him Otis. The female lived in my yard for 7 years, but alas she disappeared too. That's the heartbreaking part about ferals...they can just disappear and it's much harder to find them. And being outdoors, you have no control over their survival, you just do the best you can for them. The female, who I named Gypsy, eventually starting sitting near me and would roll over on her back and show me her tummy. She would also bring me dead chipmunks as presents, yuck, hehe. And the last year she was with me, I actually got to touch her, petting her briefly. It's funny how at first I was so sad that I couldn't touch them, but I have bad cat allergies, so it was really a blessing. At least I had cats to care for because I really love cats. I'm thinking about getting another feral cat in the future. I would love for them to live to be 20 years old, but if they live to be 12 and 9 like Gypsy and Otis did, I feel like they got a chance at a fairly long life that they would not get in the wild.

I found this video SO helpful! You really made it look easy and gave me the confidence to do it. I've trapped 4 cats in 3 days!! It is a little warm here and I think the ferals are starting to mate. Thank you!

He had been in heat and although I covered the transporter box completely, he was still furious and insanely jumpy, so I put a carton box over the transporter box to ensure he did not escape. He has been debillitated because of the sedatives for several hours after the surgery. He seemed hungry, so I gave him wet food. He ate all of it, but he threw all of it up after 30 minutes. So I recommend not to feed a sedated cat until they are totally functional.

Kitten Lady Also, when I had my 5 month-old kitten spayed, she was severely cold (I even had to blow her with a hair dryer and get her a shot of adrenaline because she was in a coma-like state). So I suggest cat rescuers to place the transporter boxes near a source of heat or in a warm room until they get back to normal, since vet rooms are usually pretty cold.

When I got my cats fixed, the vet actually told me not to feed the female that evening (I think the male was fine, since they don't get dosed as much as females do). However, she managed to get some of his food, and promptly got sick, and I had to clean out her cone... And then she removed the cone and opened up her stitches -.- She was too clever for her own good.

We are so blessed in our area to have designated TNR clinics at a great price($25) and they are held 3 times a month…normally. I just started this spring and I’ve TNR’ed 10 and I’m signed up for 10 more in the coming weeks.

I'm going on my first TNR trip tomorrow, with my local Cats Protection branch. Thanks for the inspiration Hannah!

I'm going on my first TNR soon, I'm nervous

We've trapped our feral cat once because my mom noticed that she was sick. We got our cat trap and some tips from our neighbor who has helped with a TNR group. Nick came back the next morning and even let mom pet her. Just goes to show the level of trust they have! Bob (our adopted stray) was easy to catch; he just walked right in the house when he was offered food. We were able to get him neutered. Shelter would have put him down (most likely) because he was tested HIV positive so we kept him. All of our cats are pretty happy!

This will probably be buried, but as someone who has just started TNRing thanks to Hannah, I wanted to throw in my two cents. - She is not kidding about latching the back of the trap. I forgot to and the first cat I trapped managed to escape easily. Carabiners from a hardware store are a great resource for making a trap more secure. - The trap setup + stinky bait really does work, so don't trap too early before your clinic appointment! Feral cats are okay to be in a trap for a few days, including recovery time, but there's no reason to keep them from their outside home longer than necessary. - Hannah is right to say you should try to trap as many cats as possible. However, keep your own resources in mind; do you have the space for all the cats you're trying to trap? Do you have other animals in the house and can you relocate them away from the trapped cat? Right now, I'm in a one bedroom apartment with a cat of my own. The best place for a caged cat in my home (quiet, private, located away from me/my pet) is my bathroom, which only has space for MAYBE three medium-sized traps. We want to minimize the trapped cat's stress as much as possible, so don't bring in more cats than you can manage. - Related to above, it's okay if you're nervous about TNRing for the first time and want to trap just one cat to start with. Some TNR is better than no TNR, and you'll get a confidence boost (if you're anything like me, that is) once you've gone through the process and realize how simple it is. - Review the policies of the TNR clinic you've chosen and plan accordingly. The one I go to allows for a maximum of two cats per day, per household, without an appointment. This is a huge help for me personally, because I've always struggled to manage my anxiety regarding "appointments" of any kind; without having to worry about that part, I can instead focus on trapping cats in a more strategic fashion.

TY Kitten lady for all you do. I feed 8 cats in a wooded area in my town twice a day. We are planing on TNR for each cat.

Thank you so much! I needed this because in my neighborhood, there are so many kittens that are feral when I watch other videos, they don’t have this type of information you did a great job

CATCHING A SMALL CAT OR KITTENS - PLEASE READ THIS: This video was incredibly helpful to me. However, there is something you should know about these traps, if the bar across the back of the trap is not absolutely secure a small cat 10lbs or under or kitten CAN SLIP OUT! I just had a small cat slip right out of the trap as I started to walk with it! If your objective is such a small cat or kitten, I suggest a zip tie on each side of the back of the trap, along with the bar to secure it. They can easily be cut but small cats & kittens won't be able to wiggle out or hurt themselves during transport.

You are an amazing human being. Thank you for devoting Your time and love to these beautiful Fur babies.

I couldn't afford to do TNR and could find nobody (at that time) who had any other attitude other than "shoot feral cats in the head", so I just trapped one, tamed it, had it spayed and kept it as a pet. It took months of getting the cat slowly used to people, but she turned out to be a really wonderful sweet cat once she was tamed.

I actually helped my local Animal Rescue League. I live in Mass so it gets cold in the winter, and so I built permanent cat houses on tall legs with little porches. The shelter puts some hay or stray from the barn in there and checks them ever few days. We have caught many cats from inside for the TNR program.

Your work and support for these precious animals is lovely.

Now this was a helpful video again for people too afraid to approach the cats who visit backyard. Thank You

I’m late since this video was posted 4 years ago but it is still helpful so thank you!! I’m trying to catch a feral cat that has been living in my neighborhood for the past two years. She gave birth a month ago and I’m trying to catch her to be spayed since it’s the second year that she gave birth in my garden. I love cats and seeing so many in my neighborhood makes me want to help them by spaying and neutering them. Thank you so much for this really helpful video !

I'm so grateful you support TNR!!! You are one AWESOME Kitten Lady!!!!

Good information, well presented. I just recently started dealing with the stray cats around here, and since I'm mainly a dog guy, I have lots to learn. One thing I've found educational is a trail camera set up near where I'm feeding the strays. It gives me a record of who's showing up to eat, and it lets me see some of their behavior. It also showed me that I have a raccoon showing up late at night to eat the cat food.

Thank you kitten lady! These videos are very informative and helpful! You are a great person! Thank you 💕

I honestly think there should be animal control that does the TNR instead overburdening non-profits. This is really the fault of local communities that haven't taken care of their cats and not had them spayed. More states need to hunker down on the sale of cats and cat breeding. The same is true for rabbits.

I got to do this for the first time a week or so ago, it is so satisfying watching them go back out in the wild knowing they can live out their lives without expanding the population. Wild cats aren't really a problem here but we had noticed a small colony starting to form, only 3 cats (3 un-spayed females) at the time but two of them were already pregnant by an un-neutered domestic that lives in our area. The owner of the male has been ordered to get his cat done now or it will be taken off him, he's already had 3 other cats removed from him because of the same reason. He only got to keep this one because he promised it would be done and it was a kitten not old enough yet at the time. He is well known in the area because of his laziness in regards to cat care.

I'm active with TNR program in my community. One trick that I've found to be very helpful is to is to use a tie on the trap door so that door does not close and set the cats food inside the trap. Do this for about a week and on the day that you are going to trap the cats take the tie off the door so that the door will shut when cats steps on release. In our program will are responsible for feeding and caring for the cats after they have been neutered and released. I take a Styrofoam cooler with a hole cut out and place it inside a larger plastic tote. The cooler will provide insulation for extremely cold weather. I put fresh straw inside the coolers two times a year. I place these shelters in areas where cats live. I feed the cats two times a day and leave the food out no longer that 1/2 hr. The cats will get on a schedule and by not leaving food out, it will not encourage other strays to hang out. I have about 12 cats in my colony. Three of my feral females had kittens before I was able to get them neutered. I was able to handle two of the litters and was able to rehome them with my local Humane Society. The third litter has 3 to 4 kittens and they're very feral. One of the feral kittens was sick and I committed a big "no/no" and grabbed the kitten with my bare hands . Lucky for me the kitty was too sick to fight back. I got the kitten to a vet that works with me on neutering and it was given antibiotics to bring it back to health. The kittens was about 7 weeks old and was eating soft cat food. The vet knew an individual that was looking for a kitten so we were able to rehome the kitten. I now have 2 or 3 kittens under my storage unit that will need to be trapped and neutered when they are big enough.

We caught our lactating queen and her 5 babies. This is her 3rd litter that we know of. We have them in a big covered crate with a box inside so she feel safe. Its on our guest bedroom bed with a tarp under it. The babies are 3-4 weeks, getting teeth. We won’t separate them for another 3 weeks. Mom will be spayed, babies weaned sterilized and socialized, and re-homed. The queen will come back to live in our barn or wherever she wants. Thanks for teaching how. She was crafty it took us 2 days to get her but we finally got them all.

Thank you lady, today I caught my first cat with the same trap you had, it was a great advice about the towel. It helps you keeping cat calm while you're walking home

my mother and I have been doing this for years, and we really cut down on the cat population . My two cats are actually from the last litter (two years ago). Unfortunately, it seems that either someone has moved in with outdoor cats as I've started seeing cats with patterns not seen from the last "family". there's one obvious intact male, but appointments are hard to get at my APL and he never shows up on appointment day. we'll keep trying >

It's done painlessly while under anesthesia for surgery, and is a very important part of TNR! It not only helps advocates identify a cat who has already been trapped, but it also protects them from being euthanized at the shelter in many communities. In my county, for instance, a feral cat can be euthanized just for being a feral cat...but if they are eartipped, the law is that they are protected.

Excellent video. Thank you for you efforts to reduce the population by humane means and spreading the word so that others can become involved as well . To those being snarly about the sound of the trap closing, it is actually very quiet compared to the ones i have used from the SPCA to perform TNR with. The difference is quite significant and I think that is what she is comparing to when stating it closes quietly. I also agree that with a little patience, many feral cats can be socialized and make a wonderful pet. I have two that I have been working with for some time. I now have the mother coming in the house of her own choosing, allowing me to pet her. Her son will come to the front door, though still hesitant to come inside.

I've fostered several pregnant ones until after they have had their kittens and they're weaned, then they adopt them out and sometimes the mother if she's friendly. Ordinance here is that you have to bring them back to the area where they were caught. It's a never ending job.

I live in the small city in Texas and just TNRed 3 cats who come and eat everyday in our backyard over 6 months yesterday. I was so nervous about failure so I watched thus video over 10 times. When I request to our local humane society, they recommended me to refer Kitten Lady's youtube! The mother cat was lactating but I couldn't skip her since it was her second litter that I've known of. I released mother cat in this morning, she was very lucid and woke-up. I won't be able to forget the moment watching her running towards the fence which I assume it's her place staying with babies. The siblings who got TNRed together were also born from her. I am planning to release male cat in this evening and the female for tomorrow or the day after. Male cat has become very friendly to us and stays near my back door, so I wonder where he would running towards when I open the trap door. :) This was my first TNR experience and I couldn't even sleep at the night before the 'trapping day', but I believe that this experience worths every moment I worried, felt sorry for cats, and the sleepless nights during their recovery. Thank you so much, Kitten Lady!💕

I'm curious, do you ever take the friendliest cats up to shelters to be adopted? I've trapped & taken 2 stray neighborhood cats to the local humane (no-kill) society last year where there were both neutered & adopted out, after taking the time to feed, play and interact with them each for a few weeks. I understand the importance of TNR for most feral cats, but if they're friendly/social enough I think they deserve a chance at a home :>
