How do I get rid of a bunch of wild cats at my house?

Answer 1

A good bet is to invest in some fox urine powder. Spinkle some on your lawn and those cats will be history. It works by creating a misleading image that foxes are present -- this also helps direct chipmunks, groundhogs, mice, moles, possum, rabbits, shrew, rats, skunk, voles and woodchucks away, as the odor of a fox is a danger signal to them.

Answer 2

I would contact your local ASPCA they will get you to the right group --feral cats that will trap and remove them in a HUMANE manner.Just as an side note--It would be great if people who have dogs or cats had them spayed, neutered so there would not be so much needless suffering and carnage it would be cool for humans it is all part of our world and the environment we have to grow and live in. Good Luck I hope you get your situation resolved with as little upset as possible for you.

Answer 3

Hi there...Common odours that are effective deterrents for cats are:

Citronella works best for cats as well as citrus scents such as orange or lemon (primarily towards cats), cayenne pepper, coffee grounds, pipe tobacco, lavender oil, lemon grass oil, citronella oil, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and mustard oil.

"Havahart's Cat Repellent" uses capsaicin pepper and oil of mustard as its active ingredients. It repels by both taste and odor, has a lemon scent.

Every animal responds differently to each of these. Some will not be phased by them and others will be quite revolting.

For training purposes they are applied on items that are to encourage avoidance behaviours and not for use with a squirt bottle as they could harm the eyes or respiratory system. Test each substance and observe to see which works as a deterrent so that accidental injestion does not occur as some could then be fatal.

Coleus plants can be effective, but every cat responds differently so it is uncertain without experimenting.

MOTHBALLS are toxic to cats which contains the ingredient Naphthalene. Mothballs are approximately twice as toxic as paradichlorobenzene, and cats are especially sensitive to naphthalene. Signs of ingestion of naphthalene mothballs include emesis, weakness, lethargy, brown-colored mucous membranes and collapses. Paradichlorobenzene mothballs may cause GI upset, ataxia, disorientation, and depression. Elevations in liver serum biochemical values may occur within 72 hours of indigestion.

Answer 4

the justifications for shelters not desirous to take them isn't "dumb", you suggested: a) they are feral and b) you do not favor them killed.... 13 feral cats in a guard that are un-rehomable?it really is 13 places taken up the position cats that are rehomable might want to might want to be grew to develop into away. You suggested theyyou'vee been feeding them for 4 years? the position are the cats coming from? Are they diverse a even as? Is there a mum cat who keeps having kittens??

Answer 5

Trap them and take them to the pound. They will euthanize them as they will not adopt out a wild cat.

The best thing to do is trap them and have them spayed / neutered and released. That will end the population problem.

Answer 6

If you are setting out food, STOP! You could set up traps and when you catch them, take them miles away from your house and release them there (or call animal control to do this). That way they will find somewhere else to live

Answer 7

Don't leave food out for them. There is some repellant you can buy at the pet store so they'll stop using your yard as a potty. Last resort, borrow a large dog!!

Answer 8

Buy a Rotweiller

Answer 9

Spray the hose at them. Usually you only have to do it a couple of times and they get the message.

Answer 10

Call the animal servic, they can set humane traps.
