Help! I’ve Found a Stray
IF YOU FIND A STRAY CAT
- Call the local humane society or animal control agency to see if anyone has reported the cat missing. Leave them your information, in case the owners call in afterwards.
- Call the local vet clinics and do the same.
- Put a collar on the cat and attach a note asking the owners to call you, so that you know if the cat is owned or not.
- Go door to door in your neighbourhood and talk to neighbours to see if anyone owns or knows of the cat.
- Make up a poster and distribute it in your area. Put it into mailboxes, on telephone poles, at the local post office or stores, etc. If you are in a rural area, drive around to the mailboxes on your line and the surrounding lines…cats can travel quite a distance.
- Put an ad in the local paper with a description and location of the stray cat.
