How did you catch them all if they were wild? (I’m having a similar problem.)

Back then I bought a double ended trap from the local feed store. It took several weeks to capture them all, but often up to five or six at a time would be in the trap.

I recall too that many of the smaller kittens we were able to tame and pick them up over a short period of time, so they weren’t all that difficult to deal with. The sad part is that coincidentally the prettiest, and sweetest of all the kittens were the ones that had the Feline Leukemia, and had no choice but to eliminate. It was a heart breaker, but necessary.

The trap I paid $125.00 for back then at the feed store I’ve seen much, much cheaper elsewhere since. I believe I saw the traps at Harbor Freight Tools, PetSmart, and some other chain equipment stores.

Good Luck, and I hope everything turns out well for you, and the cats.

Sorry for the double post. Don’t know what happened there.
