Move the trapped cat to a quiet, secure area
Contact a local animal shelter, rescue, or TNR program
Use a carrier or transfer cage if the cat needs transport
Never use nets, glue traps, or harmful methods
Never leave the trap unattended for long periods
Keep other pets and children away from the trap
Follow local laws and animal control guidelines
