Stray Cat

Car...maybe/maybe not. A cage, OH GOD YES!
If it is a stray or just a random cat that never had a family then it will be very very wary of tight places that aren't of his choosing. The best you could do would be get a leash and have a window open in the car. The leash is so he doesn't jump out of the car or run at the Vets office. The window open will just ease the "confined area" situation a little.
Let me know what you decide to do and how it turns out!

It takes a lot of time and effort to train a feral cat. In our area, the popilation of feral cats keep on increasing. What do you think is the best way to stop it?

Yep, that seems to be a good idea. Putting the cat in a cage would never cause any damages to your car if it decides to go wild while in it.

Shinningstar, if you really want to reduce the cat population in your area, you just have to bypass your heart. Putting them to "sleep" is the only way that I can think of. I know it is cruel but would you rather tolerate their ever rising population?

I wish people would have cats and dogs fixed so they can`t have babies. Too many end up in the shelters and get put down because they don`t get adopted. All the animals at our SPCA come with chips and are fixed.

You will have to try it in the carrier over time and see if it takes to it put some food in there that might encourage him in the box.

I think that if you call your local humane society, they should provide free shots for your cat.
I may be wrong, but I read somewhere they do that sort of thing just to help out.

Ok, there is no such thing as oral vaccines for cats. The majority of the shots contain adjuvants-there's just no oral equivalent.

I am curious too, why you would be doctoring a stray? If you intend to take it in I could see it, but otherwise?

Wow that's a good thing for you to do. The cat will surely be happy. :) Is the cat friendly? How old is she/he?

Maybe at first maybe she will freak out, but she'll get used to it. :D

We, too, adopted a stray kitten many times before. There are a lot of kittens that were thrown away in our neighborhood, so we got them and adopted them. :)

Might try to sedate the cat a little before you try to put it in the cage. A vet will be able to tell you the best way to do this.
