Build the cage on the ground. (Press B, and then press J)

Then you can use Q and mouse over the cage, then press A to assign to that cage. You can assign or unassign creatures from that cage.

Personally, I use one cage, assign all creatures (except hostile caged) to it. Whenever I buy animals or new animals are born, I just stick 'em in that cage for later.

Note that those commands, b, j, q, and a, are all lowercase.  Uppercase will not work.
