You should try calling your local animal control to see if they have any
traps you could rent or borrow. There's a humane society where I'm from
who also carry traps to help stray animals. You probably should
change the food in the traps. I don't really know much about catching
stray animals except for that. A friend gave me this advice a while
back when I was trying to do the same. good luck!

Hi,

I noticed last week some kittens venturing from the crawlspace under my
apartment. I put out a squirrel trap with tuna for a day but didn't
catch anything. In fact, I found the big white cat sniffing it but not
even trying to go in (he probably wouldn't fit).

I just saw the kittens following the mother(s) around tonight (they
seem to take shifts in taking care of the kittens)... and I put
sardines in there (with a little trail leading past the trigger).

Since nothing has happened for a few hours now, I don't think it will
work.

What do I do when too many street-smart mamas are teaching kittens how
to survive?

Also, how often should I change the food in the trap? (No, I don't
plan on keeping the trap open unless I'm home).


Thanks,
Gail
