Cat Magnet Trap - Collapsible Live-Capture

Cat Magnet Trap

The Cat Magnet Trap is a professional-grade, welfare-first live-capture solution for feral cats and possums. Developed from Australian National University research and manufactured to high standards, this heavy-duty collapsible cage is used by councils, conservation leaders, landholders and professional trappers across Australia and the Pacific.

Designed for durability and easy transport, the Cat Magnet Trap resists damage from rats, birds of prey and rough field use, unlike net-type traps which can fail or cause injury. Quick to assemble and collapsible for compact storage, it provides a humane, practical and effective option for population control and targeted trapping programs.
