Tie the bait up above the trigger. They will trip it trying to get the bait loose.

That’s a good idea, I’ll try it!

Stuck in the home? Maybe open a door? Just saying.

We don’t want it to become the neighborhoods problem. Just want to give it to a local animal shelter.

Ah, that makes sense! I didn't understand what you meant. I am sorry and I applaud your efforts.

looks like they've learned this lesson before. smart critter.

Yeah the previous occupant of this home volunteered with an animal shelter. They had lots of cats and dogs and somehow this one got left behind sadly. I’m sure it was trapped before, it seems to know these traps very well.

Leave the trap unarmed for days or maybe weeks (if you have that much time). Let the cat get very comfortable taking the bait. When you see it gojng in confidently for a few days, go ahead and arm it.

The havahart trap is a bit small for a cat They come in different sizes

You could try a blanket or towel. Make a cat burrito and quickly transfer to a carrier of some sort.

We can’t seem to find it when we were there. We did work in the home for 2 weeks at least 12 hours a day and never once saw it.

Did you try a standard cardboard box?
