Great advice! You need to have a plan for the cats BEFORE you trap!
🚨 Please, don't trap without a plan. 🚨
We often receive requests for help with trapped ferals/strays, only to find the cats in distress in exposed traps with no plan for what to do next. It's heartbreaking to see them panicking, with no trap cover, food, or water, and just a can of tuna inside.
Even reputable TNR organizations ensure the cat is comfortable during the process, covering the trap and staying on-site to reduce stress. Without a plan, trapping causes unnecessary trauma.
BERORE YOU TRAP, make sure you HAVE A PLAN—whether it's taking the cat to a vet, a rescue, or a safe space to decompress.
Please educate yourself and ensure you have a clear plan. Let's help these cats in the best way possible.
