Do you trap feral cats for Trap-Neuter-Return?

You're probably using wire box traps (like Tomahawks, Safeguards), that automatically trap the FIRST cat that enters it.

Many times, however, you'd like to control the trap - to pick out a particular cat you want:

  • when some or many of the cats in the area have already been "fixed"! You don't want to waste time catching them again.
  • when there's a female cat who keeps having kittens, you'd like to catch her NOW!!
  • when there's an injured cat you'd like to get to the vet.

You can now control your traps up to 200 feet away, with radio waves!

Control your traps and catch that cat!

NEW! Radio Control (R/C) cat trapping is now available for both box/live/humane traps and drop traps. Among the many advantages of R/C are:

> Comfort and Convenience: Trap from the comfort of your car, home, or building. You have no physical connection to the trap. The radio waves do the work.

> Selective Trapping: Automatic traps get the first cat to enter. With R/C you can wait for and selectively trap that shy, elusive, untipped cat.

> Cluttered Sites: Sites with ground clutter or high weeds are tough with string trapping. You need a clear string path and have a limited pull angle that can restrict your hide spot. With R/C there's NO STRING and no limit on hide spot relative to the trap orientation.

> Long Range: Unlike string trapping, R/C systems have a range of 200 feet or more. Much easier to find a 'hide'. (you'll need binoculars!)

> Not Connected: The Receiver Unit is NOT connected to the trap's trigger in any way; it is hooked onto a trap and removed in seconds. It is always removed and safely stored when the trap is being placed or transported.

> Flexible: The same Radio Control System can be used on commercial box traps OR drop traps (using an optional Drop Stand). It only requires switching receiver mounting plates, a 2-minute task.
