Trapping FAQs

How do I fit a litter box in the trap?

With an adult cat in the trap, adding a litter box does not leave room for food or for the cat to lie down.  Those with small kittens may fit a small 9"x9" aluminum baking pan filled with litter through the rear of the trap (the side with the flat back panel).   Feral cats/kittens may or may not use the litter box. 

It's easier & more convenient to let the cats eliminate onto the newspaper beneath the trap.  Check it every couple of hours to see if cleaning is needed.   They will usually use one area of the trap, generally in the back since their food is at the front.   The waste will go through to the newspaper below.  Lie fresh newspaper next to the trap, pick up the trap and place it on the fresh newspaper.  Wearing rubber gloves, roll up the soiled paper and toss it in the garbage.

After the cat has been released, the traps will have to be disinfected.  Hose & bleach them down outside your home, or bring them to a carwash.
