How Do I Trap A Cat? TRAPPING GUIDELINES courtesy of Bay Area Cats In some cases, females may require 48 hours to recover. Cats must be held post-surgery for 12 to 24 hours before returning to their colony. Plan on bringing the cat to the Care Center in a humane trap covered with a towel, sheet, or blanket at 7:30 am and return the same day between 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm to pick up the cat after surgery. In order to provide equitable access to TNR spay/neuter services, we limit residents to two appointments per week and one cat per appointment. San Jose Animal Care and Services (SJACS) provides no-cost spay/neuter services for community (feral) cats trapped in our service jurisdiction (San José, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Cupertino, and Milpitas) - owned cats are not accepted. If you notice community cats in your area without an ear tip clipped, or you continue to see litters of kittens in your area, you can humanely trap the cat and make a no-cost Community Cat (TNR) appointment to have the cat sterilized. Ensure each adult cat is identifiable by an ear tip and a microchip.Do not feed in a manner that makes community cats solely dependent on one food source.Allow food to be available for no more than 30-60 minutes one time a day in an amount no more than ½ cup of food per cat. Humanely trap any unsocialized cat and make a Community Cat TNR appointment to have them sterilized, vaccinated, and microchipped before returning them to the area where they were trapped.
