Will this work to catch a kitten? Or should I get something smaller?

This trap will catch any small animal that enters it, and will not hurt the animal. The animal has to walk into it however, and trip a lever that will quickly close the door. I guess some food might lure a kitten to enter. I have used it to catch armadillos, and have caught rabbits and raccoons that could easily be released unharmed.

I think this would work. doesn't require much weight to trip the mechanism.

It will catch anything that will go in it. We caught a squirrel, two raccoons, two opossums but no armadillo, which was the main reason for buying it. It is roomy so if you can find one smaller it will work as well. Hope this helps you.

I think so But if it's outdoors and you use catfood as bait you may get a raccoon

I just trapped a four pound feral kitten, so yes, it will work. I tried a smaller trap first, but was afraid that it might snap shut on his tail. I ordered this larger one, and it turned out to be the perfect size.

The pressure plate in the trap is very sensitive, so the slightest increase in weight will trip the plate and slam the door shut. I would say yes to your question; this trap should work for you. The main problem you would have is convincing the cat to go inside. Have some smelly fish bait and that little guy should go right in there. Patience is key, friend :)

I'm not sure you might need to call their customer care line which is very helpful. I started using it when my youngest was a year and a half so he was full grown. Your kittens probably need to weight a certain amount for the sensor to feel them. My lightest is probably around 8lbs.

My cat just sort of watches it and will jump out of the way if it gets too close. A young kitten may attempt to play with it.

Hose it down in the backyard. The mat is cool but honestly it's too small. One almost double the size would be a much better tool to trap litter kicked outside of the box. We have 3 cats so with this being so small we no longer take the time to use it.

We used this on my daughter's cat who is only 8 lbs and it worked well. Very small neck.

I bought it for my cat(s). It's too small for them. It would be perfect for kittens though!

My full-grown cat uses the small and it is rather big on him. I would think the x-small for a kitten.

I purchased the medium one for my dog. I have seen the small one and i think it should be okay for a cat.

yes it is small enough but I also found that to be a problem because it's very hard to get your hand inside to bait it. I returned mine because of that. It's also very difficult to set.

I would say get a harness and a leash and see if she will go on her own when you stop. But if you are afraid of accidents I would get the small to extra small size depending on the size of the cat. =)

A small size in length and bristles would work best for cats. The large one doesn't extract the fur out well between their front or hind legs. I tried using my large furminator on my cats and it did not work at all.

Hello. I've been using this on my ~11 pound cat since late September. It took a little getting used to for him, but it's very second nature for him now. I wouldn't say it is 'small,' but my vet verified that it's not too big for a cat his size. You just have to purchase a small dog collar for it so that it is sturdy enough to hold the device upright. Please see the review I posted for this product.

Thank you for your question! The receiver collar which comes with the Pawz Away kits fits neck sizes of 6"-28" and is recommended for pets 5 lbs and up. Though it is not designed specifically for use with cats, it should work fine with a cat.Please note, however, that this unit, unlike many other collars designed specifically for cats, does not have a stretch portion to the strap and there is a risk your cat could become trapped if the strap is snagged upon something when trying to squeeze through a small opening as cats are known to do. Please take this into consideration when making your decision. Thank you for your question!

It is not optimally made for a cat but it does work. Our cat (11lb) got easily used to it but it looks strange being so large (thankfully not heavy). Also, after using this (well made) unit for a while it became apparent that we needed to use a second device to enhance accuracy to find our cat. We are using the PetLocator unit in conjunction with this and that is the only way to accurately find our cat in a short time. With Marco Polo there is a range location inaccuracy issue that has as go in opposite directions by 1/2 a mile sometimes until the unit starts to re-locate again. The combo of the two works really well though...;) It is not optimally made for a cat but it does work.

There are rods that have a stretch cord in them and they hook together. The rods insert into the four corner sleeves which keeps the item in a rectangle shape. I use it for a cat and I'm sure it would be suitable for small animal.

This size is too large for a cat, IMO (unless you have a cougar or bobcat). The smaller versions would likely work better, and your cat would have to be trainable...

It does not work for me, but it does make noise with just a little bit of pressure so I would think it'd work for kittens.
