If you've tried everything with a regular trap, feeding for about a week without setting the trip mechanism, tying a chicken leg to the back top of the trap, leaving the trap out so she gets use to seeing it, etc. then here's what we've done. My husband built a drop trap and we caught many of our hard - to - catch cats this way. Our last mom cat we had been trying for over a year. Every time she would see us drive in the park with a trap, she was gone. We finally put the drop trap in the park, braced it up so it wouldn't fall, and left it there for a couple weeks always putting food under it and forcing the cats to have to feed there. Of course this is in an area where the public is not allowed so we could do it this way. Then after 2 weeks of doing this, we set the stick with a string, sat in our car where she couldn't see us, waited till she went in to eat, and pulled the string! We had her! Sometimes trapping takes numerous times, it also takes a lot of patience. Just keep trying and eventually you will get her. Don't give up. You need to get her use to seeing the traps and seeing she can eat out of them without any danger to her. If you have any questions you can always PM me!
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
