How do you catch a whole litter of feral kittens?

Mama had kittens under our air conditioners. We’re super allergic to cats.

You might try a live animal trap cage like this one - Vevor Live Animal Trap (Amazon). Might have to use a net like this - Bass Pro Shad Net to catch any of the kittens that don't figure out how to get into the cage.

Don't forget to wear gloves, there are all sorts of sharp and pointy things on those kittens. Push the wrong button and they start to Ginsu your hands, arms...well anything they can reach!

I have a cat trap but short on time and want the whole bunch in one shot. maybe a deep box with ramps up it. maybe a cat trap inside for mama.

Host a bingo night. Old ladies can’t resist kittens.

We always placed a saucer with food in the middle of the farmyard and then did some flock shooting with the 12ga..

We had a going away party for friends last night. I was tempted to give kittens to all the kids.

After dark Just grab them
Cats don't bite after dark.

When we aquired the property we have now we also acquired over 2 dozen feral cats in the barn. One call to the humane society took care of 22 of them. They live trapped them and hauled them away. Two of them were too smart for the traps and passed away from "unknown causes".

Barns need some cats.

Live trap and tuna fish or wet cat food & done! Trap momma first (hopefully) then grab kittens ..

They will leave after a couple of weeks.

…and make more. Our neighborhood is already overrun from crazy cat people.

Growing up there was an old closed saw mill that was full of cats. Last I heard that was still the place to get barn cats if you needed some. 90% of the mill is gone now, but there’s still cats.

Of course, that was along the river in WV, not in the blasted apocalyptic desert where David lives.

With up to date rabies vax. You die from rabies

Your local animal shelter may have a barn cat program. They'll catch them and have the spayed before putting them up for adoption.

 

[Brad Button]

Contact your local Animal Control, I know our will let you use their live animal traps then you can take them to the Humane Society. Our Humane Society will spay/neuter for free.

I have little faith in those type of agencies here, but that will have to be it. Farmer customers like mature cats brought out to their places to keep the rodents down but I dunno if kittens would make it. Coyotes get the cats. Need to catch a couple big toms from my hood and send them out
