Yesterday I brought home a feral mom cat, her kittens have been caught already. I picked her up from the spay clinic and brought her to my house for a few days before I return her. She will be well taken care of and her caretaker would love to eventually bring her inside.
She was fine, I put her into a dog crate to give her some room. This morning I went to give her some wet food and when I opened the crate door, she just shot right past me! I immediately disconnected the garage doors so they won't go up, so she is safe inside. But she went under my car and up into it.
I should have known better. I am so grateful that she is still inside, as this is not the area she is used to, but I don't know how long she can stay in the car. I reset the trap and am hoping she will go into it again. It is the only place for her to get food. I am praying she goes in and then I can take her back.
Does anyone have any other ideas on how to coax her out?
