A live animal trap baited with tuna.
Then take them to the shelter.
It takes time, and nerve but eventually you can catch them.

A copupleof things, catss will hunt for you, catchyour rodents and such but
I do understand the thing with cat droppings.

I have two of the beasts, but I live in a VERY remote area, and they have
many acres to patrol.
They keep the burrowing pests (moles, voles, squirrels, rabbits and so on)
from from devouring the place.
