How to Safely Trap Your Cat

• Around 30% of indoor cats are ultimately found by being caught in a humane trap.  
• If you are unable to leave a way for your cat to return into your home, then a humane cat trap is the most effective way to catch them.

IMPORTANT Safety Information!

If you set a humane trap and do not monitor it properly, you risk possible injury or death to your cat or other animals (including other peoples’ pets). Potential risks include hypothermia, heat stroke, injury from a wild animal or loose dog, and theft/rescue by a person.  

To reduce this risk, it is recommended that you conduct constant surveillance of the trap either in person or via remote surveillance such as a trap alarm, video monitor or cellular/wireless wildlife camera. If this is not possible, then you should frequently check the trap at least every four hours.  In extreme heat or cold, you should check the trap more frequently and provide adequate water and/or shelter.  

Trapping CAN be safely done.  Just don’t be one of those irresponsible people that sets a trap and only checks it once or twice a day.
