Description

The Tomahawk model 306TX - Set Over Capture Cage was designed for cats that are easy to approach but are difficult or impossible to pick up. This cage has a removable sheet metal bottom so that the cage can be set directly over a cat without having to force them into a door. After the cage is over the cat simply slide the bottom tray in under its feet and lock it into place. This cage also features a sliding transfer door on one end that lines up with our 10W x 12H" feral cat traps and also our Neighborhood Cats Drop Trap. It also features large double handles for easy carrying and a large hand guard to protect from bites and scratches. It is an ideal tool to have on hand when directly handling a feisty cat is not an viable option. This cage measures 21L x 11W x 12H" and is constructed of 1 x 1" - 14 gauge wire mesh.

Advantages
This trap certainly won’t work for every feral, but the 2 times I used it, it was a game changer! Both times it was a feral cat who would get close to their feeders, but would never allow themselves to be touched. The first, we distracted with a pile of warm rotisserie chicken and had her in seconds. The second was a sick feral who was previously TNR’d and would’ve been really tough to lure into a traditional trap as he’d stopped eating. The feeder was able to place it right over him and slide the floor in. Off to the vet he went.
Disadvantages
It’s not big, so you have to place it quickly and accurately over the cat. And if you have to keep the cat in it overnight for surgery the next morning, it’s tight quarters for him/her. Of course, if it was any bigger, it would be too difficult to get over the cat. The only other downside is that the handles, locks, etc are VERY noisy. They will certainly ruin the element of surprise. I took vet wrap (similar to ace bandage) and wrapped all of the metal pieces to avoid clanking.
Comment
This trap has been a god send for certain situations!
