## AGREEMENT FOR USE OF TOWN CAT TRAPS
- The complainant will set the cat trap, shaded from the hot sun, for a period of not more than 72 hours, after which time the Animal Control Officer will remove the trap from the complainant's property.
- It is the responsibility of the complainant to check the trap hourly; and if an animal is caught the complainant must immediately telephone the Animal Control Officer requesting that an officer attend at the animal control pound to take possession of the cat and the trap. If a complainant continues to be annoyed by more than one cat which was trapped, he must reapply for the trap to again be set on his property.
3. The Animal control Officer will give the complainant instructions on how to trip and. reset the trap. Under no circumstances is the complainant to leave a trap set on his property unattended for any period of time whatsoever.
4. It shall be the responsibility of the complainant to check the trap prior to 11:00 p.m. on each night that the trap is on his property; and if no animal is caught he is directed to trip the trap and render it harmless until 7:00 a.m. the next morning, when the complainant may again set the trap.
- Animal services will retain the cat for a waiting period of at least twelve(12) hours for an unlicensed cat and twenty-four (24) hours for a licenced cat; and after that time as space permits. After said waiting period it shall be at the discretion of animal services as to whether or not the trapped cat shall be retained. However, notwithstanding that care taken to ensure return of an owner's cat, if trapped cats shall be found to be wild and dangerous they may be euthanized immediately upon being impounded.
6. It shall be the responsibility of the complainant to ensure that once a cat is trapped on his property, that said cat shall not be abused by anyone on his property or anyone coming onto his property.
7. No cat traps will be released by animal services to any complainant when weather conditions are colder than 0 degrees Celsius.
I agree to abide by the above conditions for the use of the Town's cat trap. I understand that tailure to abide by these guidelines will result in my not being permitted to borrow traps in the future and may result in charges and fines being levied against me in accordance with the Town of Stephenville Crossing's Cat Regulations.
