Cat Trapping Service
Serving Miami
Humane Animal Removal offers assistance for trapping feral cats Miami Dade, that residents can trust. If you have a pet or strays, we offer options with the following:
- Cat trapping services.
- Transportation to and from your veterinarian.
- Euthanasia of your feline.
- Deceased animal removal for burial or cremation.
Everything we do at Humane Animal Removal follows Dade County Animal Services regulations. When we’re hired for humane trapping, the customer can decide what happens next.
There are two options:
The first, which we highly recommend, is having the animals sterilized and returned to the same property. It’s illegal for us—or any company—to trap and release them in an unfamiliar place without food or water. This is called “dumping,” and we will not do it, even if requested. Many of the ones you’re trying to remove may have only eaten dry food their whole lives. Relocating them without a support system can lead to starvation, which is something we will never contribute to.
Another option is to have them safely transferred into your personal carriers. Each individual must be placed in their own secure carrier. This is often done by people who are moving and want to bring their outdoor companions with them, or in cases where a family member has passed and the animals need to be rehomed. You may also want to relocate them to another property you own, or give them to a friend willing to care for them.
No matter which path you choose, all animals we trap are scanned for microchips. If one is found, they’re immediately returned to the property. We never intend to remove someone’s personal pet. If one is wearing any collar—flea collar included—we release them on the spot. This shows they’re owned, and we respect that. We also recommend that you let your neighbors know about upcoming trapping so they can bring their other animals indoors during those days.
We’re often asked, “Can’t you just drop them off at a farm?” The answer is no. While it may sound ideal, there is no facility in South Florida that can handle the volume we manage weekly. Imagine a farm trying to care for hundreds of new arrivals every year—it’s simply not sustainable. We believe in being honest: there is no magical place taking dozens of these animals from us every week.
If you do need removal, the most responsible route is to have them trapped and transferred into your carriers. From there, you can look into rehoming through social media, or place them with a friend or neighbor who’s willing to provide food, water, and shelter.
What happens to the cats?
Transportation Services
Sometimes, our customers personal pet turns aggressive or they simply don’t want to be handled. We will send our employee out to your house, capture your cat in a humane manner and place it in your hard sided carrier for you to take to your vet. If you don’t have transportation, we will deliver it to the vet of your choice here in Miami. We can even pick it up from your vet.
Sometimes, just like dogs, they can turn into four legged terror machines. This can be your beloved pet or an outdoor feral one that you want captured. Humane Animal Removal will send an expert to your home to capture it. We will transfer it to your carrier for you to take to your veterinarian or if you would prefer we can transport it there on your behalf for an additional fee. We strongly urge the customer to not attempt this yourself, when being placed into a carrier it will do whatever it takes to not go in the crate opening. We are trained to handle even the most aggressive feisty felines. Best to leave this to the professionals at Humane Animal Removal.
Aggressive Felines
Deceased Cat Removal
When your feline passes away, it’s natural to experience extreme grief. We are aware and empathetic to your feelings and will offer the comfort you need for your well being as we remove it. Many times we were called for a “removal service” weeks in advance to finalize the details ahead of time for cremation or standard burial to make the process easier for you.
When the time comes for you to make the decision about its passing, we offer you three options:
- Private Cremation: Your beloved pet will be cremated individually, ensuring that you receive only their ashes in a sealed wooden box. Within approximately ten business days, we will personally hand-deliver the remains to you.
- Group Cremation: We will come to your house and pick up your cat and have it cremated. You have your choice of a private cremation, where your animal is cremated by itself and you would receive only the ashes back in a sealed box after about ten business days. You also have a choice to have it cremated in a “group” cremation where you would not receive any ashes back. Group cremation is less expensive than the first option of private cremation.
- Burial: This is the most economical option. If you do not want your animal cremated, the other option is burial. Our driver would pick up your feline and have it disposed of at the county facility. Miami Dade county has a pit that we are allowed to put animals into and then bury them. This is a mass grave, not an individual burial. You will not be allowed to visit this site. A mass grave means other animals will be buried together. This burial area is where all animals are taken when not cremated in Miami Dade, such as farm animals, and pets from veterinarians go to this location. While this is obviously not a pretty thing to envision, it is the least expensive option. We will never try and sell you on a more expensive option, we let our customers decide what’s the best choice for them.
