Install motion sensing sprinklers. HavAHart, (HaveAHart.com) the makers of the humane trap, also make a sprinkler system that turns on when it senses motion. Cats do not like water and will run from your yard. A random spray pattern keeps cats from figuring out where the water goes. There are similar products manufactured under different brand names.

Cats and kittens living wild are not free, they are in danger and in need of rescue. Set up a humane trap. If they are feral or stray cats, Alley Cat Allies suggests you trap, neuter and release them, or TNR. Catch them in a humane trap and take them to the local shelter or animal control facility to be spayed/neutered. Then they can be re-released back in your area, where they can live but not reproduce, or released into another feral cat colony. In the absence of any active TNR programs in your area, the cats will simply be euthanized.

Place an ad in the paper, on Craigslist or use other resources to find someone to adopt the cat. If the cat you are trying to rid yourself of belongs to you or has adopted you and you cannot keep her, find her another home. Take her to the vet, have her tested for feline communicable diseases and, if she's healthy, have her spayed (neutered for a male) and try to find her a home. If you can't be her owner, be her friend and help her find a home.
