Does anyone rent traps to the public for use in TNR?  If yes, how do you structure the process-do you charge a rental fee for a specific # of days?  What do you typically charge?Have you had issues with theft, breakage, etc? We would be renting to our TNR clients  if they lacked their own equipment (we assist with the cost of the cats'surgeries and also set up the vet appt's for the clients, so we do have a measure of control over the situation.) 

Any info will be most appreciated!

I have personally lent out traps and some have come back to me and some have not :/

Our municipal shelter lets people borrow traps for free, especially during their targeted mass trapping projects. During the targeted trappings, they are on-site with the community and are handing out the traps and taking the cats for TNVR that day. 

Our local large rescue charges $75 for someone to rent 1 trap. If someone is trapping for their spay day and takes multiple traps, this adds up quickly. I was quoted $500 to rent traps, which they waived since I am in rescue and a regular trapper- others were not so lucky.  I have seen this be a deterrent to people in the community who want to do a good thing but do not have that amount of money to secure the traps.

Hi...  I've been doing TNR for many years -- as an individual and when I had a nonprofit spay-neuter assistance organization.  I've had as many as 25 traps that I've LOANED, no charge or deposit.  I can only think of twice there was any delay getting them back.  I do make sure I know exactly where my traps are going -- address, what the situation is, etc.  People need a lot of hand holding through the TNR process.  Their lives are busy without adding cat trapping.  So I really help them along the way with Cat Trapping 101, tips and tricks, Youtube videos (sometimes you only have one shot to catch a cat without scaring it off.    And I typically transport the trapped cats to and from the S/N clinic.  I want it to be as easy as possible, no impediments or obstacles to a successful TNR experience for everyone, especially the cats :)

It looks like you have a lot experience with TNR. At the moment, I am actively engaged in learning how to craft a successful TNR program. My hope is to garner support from individuals, volunteers, businesses, and government entities to help bring this initiative to fruition. It would be lovely if you can give me some advices, I'm currently working on involving people in my TNR project and event. While they seem enthusiastic about it, they haven't contributed as much as I had hoped to the project.

We have a trap loan out program. Clients sign for the trap and agree to return it clean and in good condition within 2 weeks. We require a $50 deposit.We have about 10 traps on hand. Only once has some one failed to return the trap at all and the deposit covered the loss. We do extend the time upon request. We Acquired our traps from donations, rummage sales and new purchases.
