I've tried catnip in and around the traps. I've had no luck yet-Day 2.
This morning I tried tuna and when I went back to the store they didn't have tuna in oil, so I got sardines. Well, that didn't work either. I'm still feeding them in crates after I'm finished trying to trap for the day. The only thing I can think of now is getting a group of people over with crates, and we chase them around until we get them. They have to get out, and I'm worried, but I haven't given up yet.
If all other options are not working, using a net might be the last resort. I hate it because it does stress them out, but they can be caught and caged this way relatively quickly if you have several people there to help.

Yes, that is an option I'm considering!

Do you have helpers? Netting goes a lot quicker and much less stress on the cats and people if there is more than one person. If not, contact some rescues, shelters, or even vet clinics in your area and ask if they have someone to help.
