Title: When lending out traps, advice and information given for the general public?
Post by: Canterbury_cats (Sharon) on April 23, 2008, 08:06:29 AM

Does anyone have any standard blurb that is given out to the public when they borrow a trap from a rescue? We seem to be giving out traps left right and centre at the moment and i would like to issue a standard A4 leaflet or something for general advice and do and dont's..

Any ideas or ready made blurb appreciated.

Might be an idea to put a laminated A5 on the trap with cable ties stressing than they need returning ASAP as they are needed for other cats and are in short supply.

I downloaded some PDF forms and ideas from Alley Cat Allies, check this link and look at the trapping guidelines and trapping kit:

Strangely, I also found a Youtube vid very helpful when I was learning to use a trap:

Hope this helps.
