 Great Trap, but DON'T USE THE COVER!!!Mar 20, 2010
By Susan Hanson
Other reviewers have said that the trap is difficult to assemble, and I think I know what happened. I had to order 2 traps. When I took the first one out of the cage, an L-shaped rod with a hook at one end came out of the cage. If I had not had a second trap to use as an example, I would have had difficulty, too. When you take the trap out of the cage, you will be directed to hold it by the handle and let it fall into shape. DO NOT remove the L-shaped rod (called the trigger rod.) If it is not hooked to the trigger when you take it out of the box, do so when you get to step 8 of "Setting Up the Stray Cat Rescue Cage." Be careful not to bend it when you thread the short end of the trigger rod through the underside of the trigger pan. As long as the trigger rod is in place, this trap is very easy to put together. Only minor assembly is required.
Now that the instructions are out of the way, here's my actual review: this trap works very well. It is sturdy, and it is sensitive enough to trap a small cat. When I caught the cat, I took it to the vet to be neutered. I asked the technician if he knew how to work the cage door and he said yes, because it was the same type of cage they kept on-hand for emergencies. It's nice to know that this trap is used by professionals.
The rescue kit includes a burlap cover. DO NOT USE IT! Seriously, get the cover out of your home as soon as you take it out of the box. It has the most hideous chemical smell I've ever encountered. I took a chance and washed both of the covers, but even after 4 long, hot-water washings, the smell did not diminish. And (I swear this is true) my washing machine now smells like the God-awful things. The stench from the covers filled my entire first floor and gave everyone a sore throat and burning eyes. I am going to write a letter to the Havahart company telling them about this issue.
In short, if you have a critter problem, this trap will work perfectly, but DON'T USE THE COVER!

 cat trapSep 19, 2009
By Irma R. Delaguardia
"feral cat saver"
The trap is unnecesarily complicated. The key that keeps the door open simply does not work. The door when closed occupies too much space. The back door to put food for the cat once the cat has been trapped is very difficult to open. Quite a dissapointment to think that they made something that could have been much simpler so complicated.

easy to useNov 09, 2009

I have purchased two of these kits and they are very easy to use and light for any woman to use. One was a gift for someone who is a rescuer , to replace a heavy raccoon trap. I have used it to capture stray cats for spay and release. great product.

Compact folding, durable & it works.Mar 30, 2010
By Darryl Giors
"Tech Geek, Gamer, Videographer"
I purchased a pair of these on behalf of my mother who wanted to trap some cats she was feeding outdoors before the city stepped in to take care of neighborhood complaints. These cats were accustomed to being fed by her but some of them were not tame enough for her to handle herself. Since we were planning to haul the cats across town up to 24 hours after we had trapped them it was important that mom should be able to feed and water the cats while in the trap.
These traps worked well for the most part. First of all they ship flat and when they arrived I thought it was only the first of the two, however upon inspection the package was two shipping boxes taped together. These are very thin when they are folded for storage too.
The construction is solid, setup and operation are pretty straightforward although at first there were a few pieces that were not obvious in their function. The printed manual has many diagrams but it is somewhat confusing to me. I simply decided to play with the items until I found their proper uses.
The trigger for the trap door doesn't take much pressure to spring which is good for small animals. The spring loaded trap door swings down fast but probably not hard enough to injure any animal that may be in the way at the time. I tested it on my forearm which didn't scratch my skin or leave any bruising.
The biggest problem with this trap is that the feeding partition that you can insert to change food & water isn't as secure as it ought to be. One of the cats my mother trapped escaped when she was changing it's food. Of course this cat was afraid to go anywhere near the trap afterward and we had to give up on capturing it.
The partition is inserted through the side of the cage and it hooks to the rungs on the opposite side. The problem is that the partition remains a bit slack and can move side to side about 3/4 of an inch. A panicked animal banging against the partition has a chance of knocking the partition upward and off the hooks that retain it. My solution to this is to insert a 3/4" dowel between the side of the cage and the partition on the side opposite the hooks. Doing so removes the slack and keeps the partition secure.
Another problem is the very stiff locking mechanism for the rear of the cage. It takes quite a bit of effort to access the cage to change food & water. My mother with arthritis was just barely able to open and close the cage.
I recommend this product, just be careful when you change out the food & water.
