We have feral mother and 2 kittens visit us everyday. We need a cage to catch them so they can be neutered and re sited. They could all become could become pregnant soon which will present a problem. Happy to buy or borrow.

Found an old post by Nottsman: Contact CES de Rojales who hopefully will help you. They are a cat association who trap and neuter street cats. They have their own Facebook page.

Thanks. Did contact them but they could not help. Also don't do Facebook. No one is interested that's why we have to deal with it ourselves.

Some vets will help, maybe ring round a few near you or Terry the Gardner who works at the shelter maybe able to loan a trap? Pop into the shelter yourself and ask, you'd think they'd help?

I have a cage you can borrow but unless you can handle the cat and kitten a cage will be difficult to catch them in ..you need a trap cage ..or drop cage ..the shelter at torrevieja did have traps an as said before the ces group in rojales would have traps maybe ask if it is possible to borrow one ( you may need to give a small deposit ?)

You should not resite the cat and kittens as they will not know the area and could be in danger of being split up ( mum and kittens), killed or starve...the cat knows the area it is in and where to hunt for food to feed her kittens where she is ..

I think benican vets @ Benimar have a cage trap, that they loan out , worth to call in and see tell them your situation,
Or call in the cats and dogs charity shop at the back of Sabadell bank near the Chop Shop, she has good contacts.

If you've tried everywhere as you say your only option is to buy, they look reasonable prices online
