Tuna fish is extra-smelly and that may help lure her in. I have never used a humane trap, but Paul's sister has. Tuna fish and patience ...

I have to catch a few of the wild cats around the trailer park. I had no problems in my case, I put it right out on the porch, didnt even cover it and had a cat almost immidiatly after dark.In your case you may need to put something over it since she is used to eating there in the open. You may catch someone else also. I would only put it out when you are able to keep an eye out. If you do catch her you want to get her out as soon as possible. It can be very traumatic and sometimes they will injur themselves, so quickly getting her out would be important. Release her into a small room until someone can come get her. I remember you said someone would take her correct?

Gary is she feral or tame? Will she be remaining in the trap for transporting? We use these all the time for trapping our ferals. Place a small amount of tuna or something very smelly in the back of the trap past the trip plate. Be sure to skip a feeding so she is very hungry and will want to go in for the food. Place a towel or part of a sheet over the trap leaving both ends uncovered so she can see through. Once in the trap totally cover it and this will keep her calm as much as possible. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
Needs a helmet!
K&L gave me this advice when I needed to trap the momma cat and little Decker and it worked like a charm. It's great having an expert on the board!!Originally Posted by K & L

Gary, get the tuna in oil, not water. The smell will linger longer.
And you can put a little tiny bit making a trail in through the trap to get her in to the back where the pile is.
You say she is a tabby mom. Did she already have the kittens? Are they weaned? If not, do you know where the babies ARE? If you catch the mom the babies will be at risk until you scoop them up. I just wasn't sure from your post what the full situation is.
I got all my expertise from Lisa (K&L) as well!

Here is the "back story". Just checking in... I see from the other thread that little shy girl hasn't let herself be rescued yet.
