magsie Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 You can borrow a trap from me if you can pick it up from south Sheffield. I can show you how to use it. The RSPCA are very good in cases of injured cats, I would ring them again and say you are able to take to the vets (Peak vets on Woodseats would be the best to use as they do lots of work for the RSPCA). The delay might be because inspectors are overwhelmed with cruelty cases. South Yorkshire is one of the cruelty hotspots and don't the inspectors know it? Poor thing sounds in a bad way, good for you for helping him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magsie Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 My offer of a trap is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clik32 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Magsie, I'm a bit worried about the trap as there's quite a few (homed) cats around here, and the injured one just comes every couple of days or so. Do you think it would work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magsie Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hiya Clik, it's difficult I know love. If you have time, say early evenings when you think there is more chance of him coming, I do have a remote control trap which can be used in fine weather. It works on a remote control like a tv, can be used from inside the house with the trap outside and when the cat you want enters the trap, you press the remote and the job's done. Peak Vets open till 9pm, last entry 8.30. Poor thing, feel so sorry for him. You just need him to come to your place at a regular time, not easy. You say he comes when everyone else has gone. Would this be a good time to trap him. So hard Clik. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuteWitness Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hi, what end of S2 are near city road or heeley ? I have a friend who lives near the farm. If he only comes when it is quiet you are probably best with the remote trap that Magsie is on about, you can have a non remote trap but may get others in it so would need monitoring but you could set it when you are around and you would hear it close.

Nicks Cats Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I would try the local branch of Cats Protection if it was me . google Hallam cats Protection as I'm not permitted to post a link I don't have a lot of faith in the RSPCA where strays are concerned , I'm not sure about their euthanasia policy regarding strays that can't be rehomed . CP have a policy of treating fostering and rehoming all stray cats that come to them and they have dedicated volunteers that catch and rehome strays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
