I had trapped a pregnant feral outside, she was VERY hard to trap but I eventually got lucky.
For the past couple months I've had her and her kiddos in my foster room, just a spare bedroom set up for them.
Now it's time for her spay appointment. She's loosened up a lot with me after working with her all this time, but I still can't touch her or handle her.
The appt is tomorrow. Yesterday I put out a trap zip-tied open in their room just to get her used to seeing it, she's been watching her babies run through it and eat regular food in it but she hasn't gone in there herself at all.
I'm afraid tomorrow morning when I put some smelly treats in there and remove the zip ties (obv after taking her kids out of the room), what if she still doesn't go in? I have tuna, wet kitten food, one of those "broth with stuff in it" treats..
Any tips you guys can think of? If she doesn't go in no matter what I put in the trap?
