Hi guys! I'm new here. I need advice on trapping a pregnant feral. Ideally I'd like to spay and socialize her.
I've been living in my new house for about 1 1/2 years now and so far she's had two litters. I've been able to catch all known kittens (4 total, 1 from the first litter and 3 from the second).
It's probably important to note that she's witnessed me catch her babies both times so she definitely hates me and thinks I'm the worst. She's very feral... I cannot get within 50 feet of her.
I had a trap set and caught just about every animal and OTHER cat in this neighborhood except her. I don't know if she's trap smart or what?? Anyway, yesterday I got a trail camera and after not seeing her for like six months and assuming she was dead... she came into my barn last night looking pretty pregnant. :/
Definitely want to catch her soon. But I don't know how if she's trap smart. Ideas??
Also side question... I caught footage of a large male (probably daddy) spraying all over my barn too. Is it likely he'll stop once she's spayed? (I do have two females barn cats but they are both fixed)
