Humane Droptrap setup for difficult to trap Ferals.....Once the cat is in the trap it can be tranferred to a regular humane trap thru the door at left front. After the trap drops it is vital to cover the trap with a sheet to calm the animal. Ferals will go from light to dark areas and this factor is utilized in the transfer.
We've recently added a bottom to the trap to act as a carrier for difficult cases - the trap should be built with doorway widths of vehicles and spay/neuter clinics in mind.
If you are interested in pictures of the construction of the droptrap we made above - e-mail us. For a small donation for our Ferals we would be happy to provide step by step pictures taken during construction.

Feral is usually transferred into Regular 36 inch Humane trap for transfer and transport to spay/neuter clinic. It is vital to keep the trap covered with a sheet to calm the animal. Ferals feel secure in dark, small areas.
We have a new droptrap Under Construction...
