USE OF PERSONAL TRAPS
Operation Catnip accepts the use of personal traps for our clinics, and ask that all personal traps be approved by Operation Catnip staff before use. View our trap requirements below to see if your trap qualifies.
Trap Requirements

Have a bite plate
Have a manufacturer-installed handle over the bite plate for carrying the trap
Be in working order, easily set, easily opened (by a human), and secure when tripped
MUST NOT:
Be collapsible of any kind
Be rusted, damaged, or missing pieces
Be held together at any point with zip ties, carabiners, wire, string, etc.
Have a handle that also acts as a mechanism to open the trap door.
Be smaller than 9” x 9” x 26” or larger than 10” x 12” x 30”
If your trap meets the above requirements, please submit a clear photo for approval from our staff.
You may also visit us during office hours and allow us to inspect your trap in person.
