A thoughtful alternative for the cats that won’t go near a conventional trap. Purpose-built for community rescue. Shared so more lives get a second chance.
The Dome Trap began with a mama cat Lisa couldn’t save in time—and a promise to find another way.
“I just wanted one other way.”
A heartbreak. A promise. A shared purpose.
A cautious mama cat avoided the familiar traps. Lisa kept feeding her and trying to help, even as illness and a severe winter made each day more urgent. After the cold spell, the mama disappeared. Lisa never saw her again.
Chapter 1 of 3Lisa carried that loss into a commitment: find at least one other way. Inspiration came from pop-up soccer nets—something that could lie flat and rise around a cat. She kept experimenting, determined to give rescuers another option.
Chapter 2 of 3Her husband, a software developer, helped bring the idea to life. A retired veteran and electrical engineer donated his time and expertise, all for the love of animals. Together, they helped turn Lisa’s persistence into the Dome Trap.
Chapter 3 of 3Turned heartbreak into the determination to find another way.

Donated his time and expertise—all for the love of animals.
Some community cats learn to avoid box and drop traps. The Dome Trap rests flat on the ground, then closes around the target cat when you activate its remote.
It is a specialized tool for rescue work, offered through a community lease rather than an outright equipment purchase.
