 BCAC Policy on Stray or Feral Cat(s):

 For BCAC to pick a cat up, it must be contained in a trap or cage. You can either use your own trap or pick one up from the Shelter. They will collect $35 for a deposit on the trap which will be refunded when the trap is returned. They will come out and collect the cat and either take the trap back or leave it if there are multiple cats in the area. They do not charge for this service.
