sekhmut Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Can anyone help by lending out a trap to catch an injured feral cat please? The lady who has been feeding him says he seems to have had a burst abcess from which the infection has spread and he is now not able to eat. She has tried her local CP but understandably they have a waiting list and this boy needs help now The cat is near Burton on Trent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fee Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Could the CPL lend a trap, even if they can't help the cat? They lent one to me in similar circumstances. Good luck, I hope you manage to help this little one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycas Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 A friend of mine found a sick cat and he was treated and found a rescue place under the BVA/RSPCA memorandum of understanding: http://www.bva.co.uk/activity_and_advice/R...erstanding.aspx I'd never heard of it before, but it might be worth giving the local RSPCA a call.

Sarah_H Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 CPL in Derby have traps they will loan out. They're about 30 mins from Burton. Or look on www.catchat.org at the lists of rescues and some of those may have traps to lend if you call them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 did you manage to get a trap sorted, i have one you can borrow as a last resort as i'll have to post it to you, its not massive but suitable for trapping a cat as long as its checked regulary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sekhmut Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 The RSPCA have provided a trap on a week's loan, fingers crossed this boy can be helped now - his condition has deteriorated so he really needs help now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
