Trapping Feral Cats
What is the difference between a stray and a feral cat?
Stray Cat: A stray cat was once a pet and is accustomed to humans (can be held, even cuddled). They may seek out human contact, food or affection, and can be re-homed (can come in a pet carrier for surgery).
Feral Cat: Fearful, will not allow handling, dangerous to handle, sometimes aggressive, and hides from people. These cats cannot be re-homed and will be happiest when returned to their outdoor home/colony. For more information on feral cats, check out Allie Cat Allies.

Trap Labeling
Each trap must be labeled. A label can be a piece of paper tapped on, a piece of tape with sharpie on it, or whatever you would prefer as long as it can be easily removed and read.
You need to include your name, the cat number (if you’re bringing multiple cats), an identifying trait for the cat, and where it was found. An example would look like:
Smith – 1 – Cherry Loop – Black
Smith – 2 – Cherry Loop – Orange
Another example:
RW – 1 – Geneva St – Gray Tabby
RW – 2 – Wright St – Orange
