If the cat is friendly then you can attach a paper collar to it. Go door to door, asking if anyone knows who the owner of the cat is. Make some posters to display at the local shop, lamp posts etc. Phone ALL the vets in the area to check if anyone has reported the cat missing. There are other local Facebook pages that post details about lost or found cats. This is free of charge.Ĭheck the Lost & Found page on this website, our Facebook page and maybe those of neighbouring branches. If necessary, take the cat to any vets and ask them to scan it for a microchip. Do not simply assume that it has no owner or home. It will not otherwise want to return to it's rightful home. If the ‘stray’ appears healthy, follow the steps below:ĭo NOT feed a healthy looking cat if it has wandered into your house or garden. If the cat is injured or sick take to the nearest vets and phone the RSPCA and request them to cover initial treatment costs. If you find a ‘stray’ cat follow these simple guidelines We have had cats recently with chips but the owners moved away without updating.
If you have microchipped your cat PLEASE remember to update the change of address.
This gives them time to feel secure in the new environment. We recommend that cats are kept in for 3 - 4 weeks after a move. Many people lose their cats as a result of moving house and letting their cat out too soon (or they escape). Most of these cats come from homes and have simply got lost, or maybe after hitching a ride in a delivery van or are simply looking for attention because their owners are at work or away on holiday. Here in the local branch we receive 6-8 calls every week from people concerned that they have found a stray cat.
