There are two stray unneutered male cats in my neighborhood.. No tags, very dominant, coming into my garage eating both of my cats food & now thru my cat door into my house at night. Who do I call to pick them up? They are spraying all over my Yard

I ran out of words in my previous post, but insist that you wear full padding and double layer clothing with face protection if you plan on capturing these cats yourself using an inside method. If you're uncomfortable with any of my advice, then keep the trap outside until you catch each cat. But I had to capture 2 myself ,and had no choice but to capture them myself due to there being too many wildlife which were filling the trap each night. Good luck to you.

There are also animal trapping services where they will handle things for you but it'll come at a cost. You can go online and search for "animal trapping" and skip ant of the top "ad" listings. Animal control services or the Animal Coalition of Tampa (ACT) will lend out a trap for free, but call first to find out any restrictions. No matter what option you go with, be prepared for potential disappointment if you have raccoons, possums, etc. in your area. If trying to catch them yourself, get someone's help and have them have a big piece of cardboard with them and a phone. Then feed the cats inside and place the food far enough in where they can't bolt for the door. Text your friend who can be outside and can silently swing around and run to the door with the cardboard. The cats will immediately run further inside and then close your door grabbing the cardboard. Then use a scented spray to navigate them to a dark area with an open cardboard box already placed there.

Animal control will lend you a trap so you can trap them yourself and they will then come back and pick up the trap for you, but they won't actually do the trapping.
