TNR - Catching the Right Cat

[mehyabbers]

Hi guys!

I've been doing TNR for a couple years now and I feed a small colony of FERAL (not stray) cats. Last night four cats stopped by my feeding point. Two are new and need to be trapped, two are known and have been fixed.

Tips for catching the right cat? I'm going to be monitoring them using a trail camera for a couple days to see if they come routinely at the same times. My priority is a big fat fluffy cat, gender unknown.

Is my only option multiple traps?

Trail cam is a good idea as it might answer the question as to how to go about this. When I have had a multiple cat issue, I have used more than one trap though.

I would use a drop trap... unless you think the new cats would go for the standard trap and that the old cats would hopefully avoid it.
