Any person who is interested in the humane rescue of any cat or kitten that would require trapping, should own at least one trap. Even if involves trapping one stray cat in the backyard or a cat that is injured, the most efficient way to achieve this, is to have a trap on-hand. By the time you call and make the necessary arrangements to rent a trap, the situation may be beyond your help. By having your own trap, you would also be able to immediately help someone else in a similar situation.

We recommend the Tomahawk Trap, Model 606 or 608. Call to order a catalogue, toll free at 800-272-8727.

Cats cannot be trapped and taken to the city and county shelters. If you rent traps from the shelters, they usually require that you bring the cat back to them in the trap. Cats brought to shelters, in a trap, are considered unadoptable and will be euthanized. Unless you are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, you will not be allowed to get the cat you trapped back from the shelter.

TRAP RENTAL INFORMATION

The following is a list of trap rentals. Each one will have their own requirements for rental. Ask an experienced person, where you are renting, to show you how to use the trap. Try it out before you leave, to make sure it is working properly and you know exactly how to use it. This is very important if your trapping is to be successful. (See Instructions for Humane Trapping of Feral or Rescued Cats and Kittens)

This list does not include every source for trap rentals. Contact your veterinarian, as they may have traps available or can give you additional information.
