Getting Pet Cat Out of Attic?

I have a cat who got into my attic through my chimney which had damage. I had the chimney repaired, then found that my cat had entered the attic.

He is very shy and fearful. I take food and water to him by climbing a ladder and leaving it through the opening in the ceiling. He will not let me touch him.
I have a trap, but he will not go in it even with food placed in the trap. I don't think animal control will get him out, and I don't know if a professional pest removal service would be willing, nor how much they would charge. He is a pet, not a pest.
I want him down for his safety, and mine.

If your cat spends most or all of his time in your attic, he is also urinating and defecating in your attic. This one problem itself is very difficult to resolve so the sooner, the better!

I first suggest you contact your vet for resources and help in capturing your cat and then, once out of the attic, what you can do to help him learn learn good cat behavior. Your vet will have very good suggestions, for help in capturing the cat, and possible medication assistance as well.

After discussing possibilities with your vet, consider his or her suggestions for capture. You can also talk to a pest removal service in your area to learn what they can offer or tell you what other resources you may consider.

Once your cat is captured, he will be traumatized and you and he will need your vet's help with medication for reducing his fears and training to help him learn to live in his new home. Also, you will then need to find resources to help with the urine and feces problem in the attic.
