I've done TNR work before and trapping feral cats but I hate the trapping process. Curious if anyone has suggestions on what I can do to make it more comfortable for the kitty.
I have a new kitty I am getting fixed on Tuesday next week and I am just dreading it. She will need to be trapped Monday morning and then sit in the cage till the next day. That part just feels so horrible to me but not sure what else to do.
The appointment is early at 7 am and with her feeding schedule this is the only way I can ensure I will get her.
I just hate that she needs to spend so much time in that trap before the vet. Is there better alternatives? I thought about getting a dog kennel. Releasing her in there but then how would I get her to the vet unless I brought the whole thing. Plus I image she will be easier to work with in the trap at the vet to sedate.
I wish there was a better way and maybe there are some suggestions who knows.
Just FYI she doesn't consistently come for dinner only breakfast which is why I need to do earlier in the day. She sometimes dissapears at night and won't come back till the next day. Plus the vet said no food the night before.
