I caught a cat here in my yard and took it 75 miles away during a gun trade.. the trade was farther away.
On the way back I see this same color cat dead on the road.. it made it about 15 miles headed back towards my property.
Last one i took to the pound about tore the poor lady up that let it out of the trap..I told her it was wild.. she said it will be fine when i open the cage up.
I would not do that lady.. she was warned.. she left the room in a hurry and all all bloody down her arm.
I kill all of them ferrel cats.. dang disease carriers.
Stick the trap into a lawn and leaf bag with the critter in it and fill up the bag with exhaust fumes off your running vehicle.
Animal goes right to sleep.. feels no pain.
If it has to be put down, so be it.
