HAVAHART – STANDARD TRAP

Posted on March 3, 2022 By tnrprogram No Comments on HAVAHART – STANDARD TRAP

I have used 2 different HavAHart traps. With the 1089, I have never lost a cat using. The 1092 is easy to setup and to release the cat, but it has one problem and that is that the gate can be pushed open by a large cat. I have learned to use carabiners to hold…

TRUCATCH TRAPPING AND BASICS

Posted on March 3, 2022March 3, 2022 By tnrprogram No Comments on TRUCATCH TRAPPING AND BASICS

I have used the TruCatch trap quite often. The setting of the trigger is tricky, but you will learn with time. This video not only shows you how to use this style of trap, but it also shares some trapping basics. Don’t forget the carabiner to lock up the back. I would NOT suggest putting…

DROP TRAP

Posted on March 3, 2022April 6, 2022 By tnrprogram 1 Comment on DROP TRAP

I have no personal experience with a drop trap, YET, but I am sure I will some day. I have watched someone use it thought. THE PROS:  I have been told by people who have used them that this is the ‘go to’ trap for cats that have become ‘trap savvy’.  They have been trapped once,…

TRUCATCH TRAP

Posted on March 3, 2022April 6, 2022 By tnrprogram No Comments on TRUCATCH TRAP

The 30LTD TruCatch trap is a totally different style from the standard ‘gate traps’. THE PROS:  The first thing is that if you are going to have a cat in a trap for a while before neutering, this is the trap you might consider your ‘go to’ trap.  It is easy to get a pee…

HAVAHART TRAP

Posted on March 3, 2022April 6, 2022 By tnrprogram No Comments on HAVAHART TRAP

The standard Hav-A-Hart trap is pretty common.  Here, in the rural area of my county, a lot of people own at least one.  They are good for trapping annoying critters and taking them out to the countryside instead of in your garden (smile). THE PROS: Some people already have one or two, so no need…

HAVAHART WITH HANDLE

Posted on March 3, 2022April 6, 2022 By tnrprogram No Comments on HAVAHART WITH HANDLE

I bought one of these traps and still have it in my arsenal.  It is a HavAHart trap with a nice, comfy, handle on the top. THE PROS:  It is very easy to carry because the handle is sturdy.  Also, it is very easy to open because there is an additional handle that opens ‘the…

TNR FOR CATS & WHY IT IS NEEDED

Posted on March 1, 2022April 6, 2022 By tnrprogram No Comments on TNR FOR CATS & WHY IT IS NEEDED
