I understand that trap(s) or crate(s) are only to be used for Trap-Neuter-Return of feral (community) cats or for crating of barn cats. Trapped or crated cats may NOT be taken to an animal shelter or pound for destruction or surrender, or relocated or released at a location other than where they were trapped. Equipment may not be used to trap wildlife; if these animals are trapped accidentally, they must be released unharmed at the location where they were trapped. Equipment may not be lent to a third party.
I understand that it is my responsibility to return all equipment in the same condition it was lent, and clean—newspapers removed, traps cleaned and disinfected—so the trap can be stored or loaned out right away. In the event that I will need the equipment past the abovementioned return date, I will contact Maria Meows and make arrangements.
I understand that any animal, including both socialized and feral cats, can act unpredictably when trapped or crated. I agree to not open any equipment, stick hands or fingers inside the equipment, or handle any trapped or crated animal unless specifically instructed. I release Maria Meows and its board of directors, staff and volunteers from any liability for any injuries or damages that may occur from any activity related to this equipment rental, including trapping, confining, transporting, or releasing any cats.
