How do I remove a cat that is in the crawlspace under my house?

Question

This cat got in and has had a litter of kittens, I just want them to leave (yea, right) and take the little ones with her, I have just put my dog in a kennel under there hoping the barking drives her nuts and she moves the little ones one by one to another location....any other ideas?

Answer 1

Having a barking, snarling dog outside will make her stay where it is safe. If you can't reach the kittens, you will just have to wait until they are old enough to come out on their own.

Leave food and water out for the mother and, when they are old enough, you can use a live trap and find good homes for them. Who knows, you may become attached.

You can try putting out a safe box (cardboard box on its side) for the mother with bedding, food and water in a protected part of your yard and see if she will naturally come out with the kittens but it looks as if you are stuck for a few weeks.

Answer 2

why do you want to upset your dog by putting it in a kennel under a crawl space? just exactly what is it that this momma cat & babes are doing that are creating such an issue. If you have a local humane society or animal controll call them and they will remove the animals.
Otherwise let them grow a little when momma takes them on their first outing cover up the openings and they will relocate.
good luck.

Answer 3

Call your local animal control. If a cat has kittens under there, she's not going to leave them for anything. And, she's not going to move them until she thinks they are ready.

And, don't even think about trying to adopt or give away feral kittens. Within a few weeks of being born and not having daily human contact, they will grow up to be feral cats and never really become domesticated. They'll just end up making more unwanted kittens underneath people's crawl spaces.

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/gHn00

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

Answer 5

yea. my aunt had a cat that was in her backyard and had a litter. What she did was told my uncle to bang metal against metal as hard as he could. You should do that for about a week though. If that doesn't help, call animal control.

Answer 6

Try being nice to them bring some food and a little milk might work to when they get out call the humane society and they will take her to a safe place or you just take them in.

Answer 7

hi try louring them into a box with some food and then take them a safer place where you feel comfortable letting them go then take some hair clippings or clean out your hair brushes and spread the hair around your house bu the crowl space so they wont go near it. or give them a box some where else on your property so they will feel like moving to a safter place. best of luck.

Answer 8

Try using a laser. Maybe she'll chase it into an entrapment of some type. Then the kittens should be no problem to catch.

Answer 9

Put a can of tuna right outside the entry, if she is hungry she will come for it, or call the local humane society they have people who Will remove the animals for you. But please be nice, the cat did nothing to hurt you!

Contact animal control to help you humanely trap them and remove them. Then seal your crawlspace to prevent another occurance. This is a chance to show your best side by solving your problem humanely and kindly.
