Hi Melissa, I hope things improve for you both soon and that your own kitties are okay.

I have sent a little donation and hope maybe some others will do likewise. Good Luck!

Thank you for your donations.

I tried to get this girl tonight but she just wouldn't get in the trap. I'm going to try again tomorrow morning around 4 a.m.

I saw her several times though and she doesn't look pregnant yet but I'm sure if she continues to stay out there she will become.

Thank you again for the donations.

Yesterday was a very long long day.

I got up at 4 a.m. and was outside the apartment complex by 4:10 a.m. and set up by 4:20 a.m.

I waited and waited. Around 5:15 a.m. I saw the big orange fluffy cat that didn't bother going in the trap either.

I waited some more and finally saw her. I was so hoping she would go in the trap but instead she walked around it and then ran off across the parking lot to another area and I couldn't find her.

I waited some more, I even went over to the trap and the food was frozen so I removed it and put some dry cat food down and went back to the car and waited.

She came around again but then she left. Probably around 9:45 a.m. I gave up and came home for a bit and go showered and warmed up and went back out around 11 a.m. and saw her. She was back and I really wanted to get her and I could tell she was so hungry.

She got scared when I brought the trap back and wouldn't come out. I waited till around 1 p.m. and then I left and kept going back to check on the trap till 5 p.m. and nothing.

I can't seem to get her or the orange one.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I tried sardins, tuna fish, dry cat food, can cat food, I covered the trap, I even put a blanket inside the trap so she wouldn't see the bottom of the cage but nothing.

I'm very frustrated and I just want her to get in the trap.

After spending all weekend out there waiting for her to come around and get in the trap I was very upset last night, I just feel like a failure. I tried so hard to get her and couldn't.

Wait a couple of days. At this point another day or two isn't going to hurt. This way she'll be REAL hungry, providing no one else feeds her.

Are you covering the bottom of the trap with dry leaves or a hand towel to disguise the feel on her pads.

Good luck, Melissa!

[Anikaca77]

True.

I just feel bad not feeding her to be honest, I went out there yesterday and she was hiding beside the pine tree waiting for food.

She so wants to come with me and I can tell but she just won't.

I put a towel down inside of the cage with the food on it so she wouldn't feel the cage but she just won't go all the way in.

I'm going to try again maybe tomorrow night.

Thanks,
Melissa

Good luck catching her when you try again, Melissa. You are such a lovely person to do this!

I just realized that I didn't post any pics of her. Well here she is. Can anyone take her in and give her a warm place to stay?
