Humane Trap Source
The Feral Cat Coalition maintains a stock in excess of 200 humane traps around San Diego County which are available for loan, at no charge, to the public. The traps that we have found to suit our needs best are available from:
Tomahawk Live Trap Company
PO Box 323
Tomahawk, WI 54487
Phone: (715) 453-3550 or
1-800-27-A-TRAP
Fax: (715) 453-4326
They have sizes available for all animals. The model that we have used, that seems to suit our needs, is the model 106. It is constructed of 1"x1" 14ga. galvanized steel wire mesh and measures 26" x 9" x 9". They are light, easy to clean and maintain, and are quite sturdy. The model 106 sells for about $50.
There is also a model 606, which is identical but has an openable door in the back of the trap. This model sells for about $7 more, but the added door can be quite handy.
Call Tomahawk for a catalog. They accept orders over the phone and take checks, money orders, Visa, and MasterCard.
You can also check out their website, where you can view their entire product line as well as place orders. Visit Tomahawk Live Traps, and use the green menu bar on the left to navigate to "Single Door Traps."
