    Yes, but make sure the door can't hurt the kittens in any way. If the cardboard you're using has jagged edges or sharp corners, don't use it.

    Giving the kitten a nice warm bath with cat shampoo will be very good for the cat. Also make sure to check for fleas, and if the kitten has fleas get some cal flea shampoo and give the kitten a bath starting at the neck and going down the rest of the body. Make sure you wash the face with a towel, and avoid the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.

    Cats can survive for about two weeks without eating but only three days without drinking. The longer your cat goes without proper nutrition, however, the weaker they become, so it's important to contact your vet if you suspect they haven't eaten in a day or more.

    Sometimes if a cat is especially trap wary, having watched others be caught, a drop trap might be helpful.
