Over the weekend, BCCP volunteers trapped 11 cats for yesterday’s spay/neuter clinic. Paula and I trapped Friday night with no luck. On Saturday, I met up with Paula around 3:00pm and we trapped until 9:30pm. I have just two words…..DROP TRAP! Paula and Paul constructed the drop trap from parts of our old iguana cage and Paula’s scrap wainscoting. It has worked wonders for those cat who are metal trap savvy. It’s great to get multiple cats in one fell swoop.
Saturday had to have been the hottest day of the year, it was hot hot hot. The funniest part of our tapping adventure had to be when she and I were stuffed in the very back of a Honda Element holding the rope to the drop trap, sweat just a pourin’. We were back there for at least 8-10 minutes before we got the cat, but in that heat, it felt like an eternity. I would have loved to have gotten a picture of it, too funny!
Thats wonderful! … save for the sweatin part.
Glad those babiez gotted dehr fixin dun.

That looks like a great trap. Ok, after you get the cat in the trap, how do you get the cat out of that trap into a place where you can take the cat to the vet??? I have a female cat I would love to catch, but I think she is too smart to go into one of those traps that closes when they step on something. Thanks. You sure are great people to do all that work.
I think it’s absolutely fabulous .. that you are doing this.
Bless your hearts for doing this!
