At wits end trying to trap cat
This is my little guy, Jack. I’ve been feeding him for over a year and we’ve made tremendous progress in his socialization. I have to unexpectedly move and want badly to take him with me. He is my cat and I cannot leave him behind. I have exhausted what seems like every option available. I have spent about $1000 on two different trapping companies and even tried my own TNR style traps. He is just extremely cautious of them and would not enter them no matter what I tried. Then, a trapper suggested a net as a last resort but he messed up and let him out the net. This undid all the progress in socialization that I put in over a year. Now he only comes around at night and is skittish. I love Jack and I don’t want him to feel like I abandoned him. We have had the same morning and evening feeding routine every day for over a year. I am extremely devastated that my efforts to trap him are not working. If anyone has tips or knows of any companies or persons in the South FL area that have experience with trapping difficult to catch cats please let me know. I would appreciate any advice. I cannot say goodbye. The only reason I didn’t let him into my house was because I lived with people who were mean and made problems. Otherwise I would have brought him in a long time ago as he expressed consistent interest in the inside. Now that I’m moving he can come but I’m out of luck and time. Sorry if this post was repetitive I am panic typing because I need my Jack with me.
