How do you catch wild kittens?

Question

I have some wilds kittens in my back yard. the mother got ran over so we have been feeding them. But we have a home for them and we need to catch them. Do you have any idea's how we can catch them?

Answer 1

Hi Animal,

  Wear heavy gloves and put out a couple cans of tuna and hide and wait until they show up. If you have a big fishing net it would be a lot easier to catch the wild little things. You still need to wear heavy gloves so the can't bite or scratch you.

  Have a few pillow cases handy and put each one in the pillow cases so you can haul them to their new homes. This will keep them from getting hurt. Good Luck My Friend.

1st, if their not to wild & you can touch them, just grab them & put in a box or cat carrier. 2)  If you cant grab them you will probably need a 'have a heart' trap or net.  your local vet or Pet store should be able to help you by lending a trap or tell you where in your neighborhood you can buy one.  Good Luck & be sure to spay or neuter them.  Glad to hear that you already have a home for them.  Just make sure the kittens are going to a GOOD home, not animal abusers.

Answer 3

Set a large bowl of food for them in the middle of your yard. Have two other people stationed at different angles in you yard. You guys should like form a triangle and when the kittens start eating, the two people to their backs can sneak up slowly. if they run, you guys can chase them.

hope i helped!

Answer 5

go to your local animal shelter and rent some humane traps, put some food in them, and when the kittens go in to eat the food, the trap will close and the kittens are in! good luck =]

Answer 6

Make a trail of cat treats leading to your door then lead them right into your house and the kittnes will walk right in.

Answer 7

Call your local animal shelter and see if they have a trap you can borrow from them.  The trap has a door that is tripped shut when an animal walks inside and steps on the platform that food is placed on.

Answer 8

Rent a humane trap from a local rescue, or animal control. Bait it with food and have a veterinarian on call to give them a thorough exam, spay/neuter, vaccinate and test for communicable diseases. You won't catch them all at once, but you have a good chance of catching them if you've been feeding them. Feral kittens are tough to socialize but with patience and love they can become just as socially acceptable as any other house cat.

Best of luck.
