The media could not be loaded. ****PLEASE READ IF SKEPTICAL!!*****This product is awesome!!! I can’t believe the luck I had. I have been feeding this stray cat every single day from the month of October (6 months now) he began to recognize me and my voice and would come close to me but still skeptical of letting me even lightly pet him. I’ve tried luring him inside him food, etc. I bought him a shelter house in the woods for the winter, but was still nervous of his survival due to the bad weather, as I really care about him. I was getting desperate and new I had to do something sooner than later if I wanted to save him. This cat trap was listed as best seller and one of the cheaper ones as well. I bought it hoping for the best as I noticed the reviews are pretty 50/50 - people either said it was faulty / didn’t work at all or people either praised about it, no in between really. I payed for two day shipping and it came the very next day which was super convenient. Anyways, IT WORKED THE VERY FIRST TIME / TRY!!!! I couldn’t believe it, I feel like an idiot for not doing this months ago. I’m not a builder at all and it was super easy to set up, instructions are very understanding, the video tutorial on here is even more helpful took longer to build for me then it did to catch him!!! I met him outside like I do every night for his feeding, I set the cage down in the distance with a can of tuna inside and I put wet cat food in the entrance of the cage throughout , as well as on the trap pad to lure him more easily which really helped him be less scared to go inside. I walked away several feet and watched - in less than five minutes he was inside eating around the trap and eventually triggered it. I could not believe how easy and fast it worked. It was incredibly successful as I was nervous from people saying this trap is cheap and animals frequently escape.. which I want to speak on. ***READ HERE**** This trap does 100% work, clearly. I think it’s suffice enough to get the job done without spending $$$. BUT I WILL SAY, there is minor errors. When the front door is locked, there is slight gaps in the corner. As I was carrying the cat inside holding the cage, he was trying to escape through these gaps, he was managing to nearly get his whole head out (about up to his hears) I noticed this and kept calm, I slid the cage up so it would push him back which helped. ****DISCLAIMER**** I would not depend on this cage to use overnight to catch, because the animal more than likely wouldn’t be there in the morning. I would not leave unattended during catch, be on stand by and act fast to bring cage to designated area. Although painful, a scared / angry cat or critter could definitely navigate out of the cage if it really tried and especially had the time. Overall, for what it’s worth the cage is pretty sturdy. If your second guessing this purchase I say buy it!!!! Give it a try, test your luck you may be surprised like me. It doesn’t hurt…now Mr.Kitty is safe :) I HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!

I'm surprised at how expensive these types of traps are. I went with this one because of the cheaper price -- though it still seems a bit pricey to me. Even so, it seems to work as advertised and while it's not particularly robust, it does the trick on small to medium-sized rodents. It's easy and quick to assemble and set. The only issue I had is that the gaps in the wiring in the area where the trigger is set are small and it was a little difficult get my fingers through to set the trip hook as needed. But with a bit of tenacity and fiddling, I was able to get it done.

This will catch a raccoon or a cat. I used it to catch 2 feral cats within 15 minutes of each other. It does the job safely for the cat and safely for myself. The directions suck. However once you figure out how to set it, it's easy. I used a can of Tuna and placed the can in front of the foot trap. When the animal steps on the piece of steel in the cage, the door slams down behind it, trapping the animal. It not super well built so be nearby when using this trap. I have 4 more feral cats to catch. I'll let you know when I'm finished how it worked out. I'll include a close up photo so you can see how to set the trap. There is a close up of how it is attached to the foot switch, and a close up of the entry door set to catch the animal. It's not complicated but the directions are not clear.

It worked. Mr bunny was eating my plants. In less than 24 hours we caught a bunny! We relocated Mr bunny safe and secure 15 miles away. It was easy to use.

OK, I've been battling Coons on my roof, as I've got a wooded double lot. For a while I used a Pest Control Company, but the cost eventually led to my purchasing my own Trap. This is nearly identical to his Pro Trap, with two key differences: 1) The wire for the cage is definitely a smaller gage than the Pro Trap. It's still strong enough, but because it's flimsy that leads to point #2: 2) The one issue that's a problem is that the Pro Trap had a Vertical Sliding Panel for the "Release Door" (opposite the sping loaded Trap Door), whereas this Trap has a Hinged Door. The Pro Trap could use the Vertical Sliding Panel because the trap was so much more robust and rigid. Sounds minor but it's not. Due to the lighted gauge, the Hinged Door is locked into place with what they call "Fixing Clips" (#9 on their sketch). When you have an angry and biting animal in the cage, it's nearly impossible to get the Hinged Door released from the Fixing Clips. Even when you do, it's hard to control the release of the animal when you're a safe distance away from the trap (In the case of the Pro Trap, you can clip a rope onto the top of the Vertical Sliding Panel, and raise it from a distance). Would I buy it again ? No, I'd pay more money for the Pro Trap.
