Description
- The Trap Man Humane Feral Cat Trap is a well-constructed and designed trap that measures 32 inches long, 10 inches tall, and 11 inches wide. It is specifically built for the safe and effective capture of feral cats with its heavy-duty frame that ensures durability and long-lasting use. The trap is ready to use upon purchase, saving you the hassle of assembling it.
- Setting the trap is straightforward, with comprehensive instructions available online for those who are not familiar with the process. The trap operates on a treadle plate system, which is a sensitive plate inside the enclosure that the cat steps on to trigger the door’s closure. This mechanism ensures that the trap only closes when the targeted animal is fully inside, reducing the risk of escape and preventing non-target animals from being caught.
- The spring-loaded door is a critical feature that swiftly and securely closes once the cat steps on the treadle plate. This ensures that the animal is contained without causing unnecessary stress or harm. The locking mechanism is also efficient, employing a spring-loaded locking bar that holds the door shut once triggered.
- For the safety and convenience of the user, the trap is designed with an external release lever. This feature allows you to open the trap from the outside without having to come into direct contact with the trapped animal. This is particularly useful when you need to transfer the cat to a transfer cage or basket for transportation to a shelter, veterinarian, or relocation site.
- The large top handle is another thoughtful addition that makes the trap easy to move and set up. It provides a firm grip, which is essential when you are placing the trap in the desired location or when you need to reposition it after a catch.
- This humane feral cat trap is an excellent tool for animal control professionals, shelter workers, and community members involved in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs. It helps in managing feral cat populations humanely by allowing for the safe capture, spaying/neutering, and release of these animals back into their colonies. The Trap Man Feral Cat Trap is an investment in the well-being of feral cats and the communities they inhabit.

EXCELLENT STRENGTH AND DESIGN
I highly recommend people pay the extra money and buy this extra-large, feral cat trap. It is a far superior design and much stronger than the cheaper brand models. I previously bought a cheaper, different brand model and the feral Tomcat managed to escape by bending the end exit doors which must have really hurt the poor cat to then squeeze through. This extra-large ‘Trap Man’ trap is super strong, there is no bend whatsoever in the wire walls under strong hand pressure, unlike the cheaper model. This trap also prevents injury to the cat which is most important.
Excellent! Highly recommended.

Well made sturdy and easy to use, perfect for trapping our large feral cat. Instructions were easy to follow and the trap was easy to operate. We had tried a different one previously but the cat managed to escape the trap – this one was perfect.

The product arrive ready to go. Instructions came with it but it was pretty easy to work out anyway. I kept the cardboard box which came in handy to rest the cage in whilst I took it to the vet to check for a microchip. I have given the product 4 stars for value just because it seemed expensive. The product is well made and robust so perhaps the cost is appropriate. I haven’t seen a cheaper one to compare it to.
To bait the trap I laid an old cat towel in the base of the cage, a bowl of kibble and a couple of catnip toys. Not sure which one worked. I didn’t bother to conceal the trap. I just put it outside my back door (dry weather).
For later storage the product does not fold flat but won’t take up a lot of room in a shed or under the stairs.

Mission, to trap and ferry a harem of cats to be neutered. I line the bottom with newspaper, then bait the trap. Then wait, Usually not very long . Once the cat is in the bar locks automatically and the cat CANNOT escape. I cover it immediately with a sheet to stop it feeling distressed, they then usually settle into what is best described as a cross between a monumental sulk and resignation at having allowed their desire for a tasty morsel to override their common sense.
The traps are Sturdy and very well made with no harsh edges that a cat could harm itself on. Mesh is small enough that no errant paws can take a swipe as you carry it along. With a good sturdy handle. If your main concern is the safety And welfare of the animal I can heartily recommend this trap. I own two of these….they were good enough to make me go out and buy a second. I have the smaller version for kittens etc and the larger version for Tom cats. Great for neutering trips. But please remember to keep the trap covered to reduce stress to the animal.

This trap was a good size for catching feral cats and the setting of it much easier than the last one I had of another make.

Once the cat has been trapped it is locked in . The only way the cat can get out is by you lifting the perspex door. If you are taking the cat to vet leave him in the trap and let them remove him safely. Never leave a trap unmanned . Best of luck and hope this reply helps you.

I find fish as best bait (sardines) actually put it under the trap on ground under trigger mechanism, also put some vasaline on locking up mechanism as it makes it very sensitive. You just have to keep trying as some cats are very cunning,hope you succeed

We’ll made trap, great it was pre made before despatched. Easy to use , only thing I would change is to have an opening at other end to place bait easily. As have to stretch into cage to place bait and if you’ve a short arm like me it’s very difficult!
Response by TheTrapMan
Hi Sharon
Further to your positive feedback.
With regard to baiting we advise when using our TrapMan traps to bait under the trap directly under the tread-plate, as this proves to be more effective at catching ferals and therefore no need to reach inside the cage. All of which is explained on our youtube video available from the supplied QR scan code and the setting instruction flyer.
We also make our TrapMan pro gold feral cat trap which is the same design as our standard feral cat trap but has a clear polycarbonate sliding rear door to aid capture removal.
Regards
Andrew

The second of these traps that I have bought for Trap/Neuter/Release. Well built, great quality, can be set to a very fine trigger (ideal if there are kittens to be caught for socialisation/rehoming and the two doors make transferring easy.

The cat trap arrived quickly and very safely packaged in cardboard. It was easy to operate although I would recommend the double-door version for ease of access when placing some food as bait at the other end. The trap works efficiently, is compact, light and easy to carry. I definitely recommend.

Efficient trap
I bought this cat trap because I am a volunteer fosterer for a feline charity. I had to catch a semi feral cat safely. The flap arrived quickly and well packaged. It is a compact size and is light to carry. It is fairly easy to operate once you get the hang of it. However I would recommend getting the double-door model as it is very tricky to put food at the bottom of this one through the front door. Overall it is a good trap. Within a few minutes of setting it up, the cat was safely captured. I would also recommend putting a blanket at the bottom for the cat to lie comfortably on during transport.

tenia un problema grande con gatos que se habian instalado en mi parcela: se comian el pinso de la perra a un ritmo insostenible, entraban en casa si la puerta se habia quedado abierta y marcaban con pis, se peleaban con mi gata,…
Con esta trampa y un poco de salchichon, en 3 dias he capturado 4 gatos que he llevado al monte comodamente en la misma jaula en el maletero del coche.
Rapida y eficiente solucion sin tener que recurrir a metodos mas drasticos.

Teníamos un gato adolescente que se nos coló en el garaje del edificio, y con esta jaula se atrapó a la primera.
Aunque eso sí, seguimos la táctica de colocar la jaula en el mismo sitio donde le estuvimos poniendo la comida durante una semana, y el gato no era un gato adulto, era adolescente. Pero lo dicho, cumple a la perfección su función para cazar gatos. Luego el gatito lo liberamos en el monte cercano.
El montaje es un pelín lioso si nunca te has tenido que pelear con una jaula, pero en unos minutos la tendrás montada y lista.
El material parece resistente, y aguantó un buen rato con el gato dentro moviéndose sin parar y empujando aquí y allá.
La recomiendo.

I bought this cage to try catch my cat that had escaped from the house (she is a house cat) i had several sightings of my cat in my garden,so i knew she was still around, i placed the cage with food in it & newspaper on the floor of cage for the very first time in the garden & within only 3 hours she was caught in the cage & back home!…a marvelous cage which was already assembled when arrived, there was no instructions with it but thats because within seconds its obvious how to set it up to use, & the extra door on top of cage to release the animal quickly is a good idea too, a great buy
