How long have you been doing TNR? Chances are if you've been doing homeless cat rescue for even a few weeks, you've encountered wildlife. You want to be respectful and remember that the raccoons and skunks are terrified when you trap them instead of a homeless cat.
I call on St. Francis to help me when this happens and talk and pray out loud. I respect all animals and wildlife. As we continue to encroach and develop land that was long open space, these wild animals are confused, scared, and just trying to survive.
Stay calm. Don't be afraid and remember they are far more terrified. And talk to them.
