Kitten Rescue Mission??

Question

We rescued 2 out of 3 kittens, now there's the 3rd one, it is in the center of a drainpipe in the ground. We baited food in the openings, barred a doorway, but they didn't work. What else??

Horizontal, of course. How else would there be two openings when the pipe is in the ground?

Okay, then, here's a diagram..

THE PIPE IS HORIZONTAL.

Answer 1

I once had the same problem, its a nightmare to catch these small kittens.

My problem was solved by renting a trap, where you put food into the cage, and the weight of the cat will close the door behind him, thus trapping him without harming him.

phone around and ask if pet catchers have this cage that u can rent.

It WILL LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS

Answer 2

I'll tell you a way that worked in another occasion, with a vertical pipe where a cat was stuck. They pushed it all the way to the other side with a watering hose. If the drain is small enough, if you can find something long enough to push the kitten all teh way to the other end, you could get it out perhaps?

Answer 3

You do not say how deep this kitten is, so this might not work. If the kitten is old enough to play, you could dangle a pair of pantie hose down the hole and try to get it to play with them. When the kittens grabs the pantie hose, it's claws will get stuck and you can pull it out.

Answer 4

Persistance.

How did you get the first two out?

Is this thing vertical or horizontal?
