Trapping FAQs

Where do I keep the trapped cat the night before the veterinary appointment?

Indoors or inside a shelter or car where the cat is safe from predators and the elements.  Safe places include:

• garages & sheds
• inside a spare room in the home, such as a laundry room or basement
• in a covered pick-up truck or van, or in the back seat of a car (crack the windows for ventilation, and only use vehicles if the temperature outside is cool but not cold)
• those with smaller living spaces such as apartments & condos may keep a trap in a bathtub (which makes for easy cleaning!)

Set up the area by lining the ground with a plastic sheet or tarp.  Place several sheets of newspaper on top of the trap.  Place the trap on the newspaper.
