I use Tomahawk live traps to do T/N/R with cats.
They will sell the traps cheaper the more you buy.

Pros: Easy to use and safe for cat

Cons: expensive to buy many

We have only one large live trap. It is used to catch a dog who does not want to be caught. Our dog warden has used it a few times in the past year. It is a pain to haul around. A large dog like a lab can fit into it.

It works just like the smaller traps that most folks use to trap cats. The animal steps on the trigger and down comes the door.

These traps are not cheap and when our shelter has to use one, we make sure it is on the property of somebody willing to work with us in caughting the dog. They usually will keep an eye on the trap and let us know as soon as the animal is caught. And we make sure the person working with us will not take the trap and sell it.

Live traps are nice if you have to use them.

Pros: size

Cons: cost

I use these live traps to catch all kinds of problem animals, usually opposums and racoons. They are very effective for the opposums, no problems with catching them, but the racoons seem to be too smart for the trap all the time unless they are really hungry or I put it out several days with bait but un-set. I also need to camoflauge them a little to make the coons more comfortable with going inside.

Works well, but often the animal will poop inside the trap and cleaning the wire is a bit of a nightmare.

Overall, a must have when you have any kind of chickens or ducks as you will have some kind of animal interested in eating them. Please don't release the animals where they will become somebody else's problem!

Pros: Good quality, works well

Cons: Difficult to clean after the critter messes in it

My husband and I do feral cat rescue work, and when we need to trap a feral or a stray who needs help/ needs to be spayed or neutered, etc., this trap works so well. It's very sturdy, not too heavy, and easy to use once you practice with it a few times. It has helped us to help so many cats over the years!

Pros: Sturdy and effective

Cons: no cons

Our ACO's use all sizes of the Tomahawk live traps . Chipmunks up to dogs can be traped safelty in these traps. The easy transfer traps are the best for getting the animal from the trap to a cage or to release back in to the wild.
These traps are definitely their best friend.

Pros: none

Cons: none
