Cat Traps

Our cat traps are designed for the safe and humane capture of cats. They are commonly used by city councils, cat shelters, and other public organizations in Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) programs, to control the population of stray or feral cats and manage feral cat colonies, allowing cats to be captured without harm, then sterilized, vaccinated, and treated for health issues. They are also used by individuals for capturing and transporting cats.

Features of Our Cat Traps

• Design: These traps are designed to not harm cats. They have automatic closing doors and are spacious enough so that the cat does not feel overly restricted.
• Material: Made from sturdy and durable metal wire.
• Activation Mechanism: Sensitive activation mechanism that closes the door when the cat enters and triggers it, trying to reach the bait.
• Bait: Food is used as bait to attract the cat into the trap.

Responsible Use of Cat Traps

• Regular Checks: It is very important to frequently check the traps to ensure that captured cats are not confined for too long.
• Weather Conditions: Care must be taken in extreme weather conditions, as traps can become dangerous places if it is too cold or hot.
• Handling and Transportation: Once captured, the cat must be transported carefully to avoid injury or stress.
• Animal Welfare: In some regions, the use of cat traps may be regulated by local animal protection laws, so it is important to be informed and comply with the regulations in your area.

What is the Recommended Size of a Cat Trap?

In general, a standard-sized cat trap, suitable for most adult cats, has the following dimensions:

• Length: 76 to 91 cm.
• Width: 25 to 30 cm.
• Height: 25 to 30 cm.

These dimensions are large enough to accommodate most adult cats without causing them discomfort or excessive anxiety. Moreover, a trap of this size allows the cat to move slightly, which is important for reducing stress during capture and transport.

Besides Size, What Other Aspects Should Be Considered When Choosing a Cat Trap?

When choosing a cat trap, in addition to size, it is important to consider several aspects to ensure that the trap is safe, effective, and humane. Here are some key factors to consider:

• Design: The trap should be safe and not harm the cat. With smooth internal edges to prevent injuries and a door mechanism that closes securely but gently.
• Robust and Durable Material: A trap made of high-quality materials, such as galvanized steel wire, will ensure durability and weather resistance.
• Closure and Security Mechanism: The closure mechanism should be secure, preventing the cat from escaping once it has been captured.
• Ease of Use and Transport: Choose a trap that is easy to set up, dismantle, and transport. Protected transport handles are important for moving the trap without exposure to scratches or bites.
• Accessibility for Placing Bait and Releasing the Cat: The trap should have easy access for placing bait and a safe and simple way to release the cat when necessary.
• Review of Reviews and Recommendations: Look for opinions and reviews from other users to get an idea of the trap's effectiveness and reliability.
