Kats & Kits: Lost and Found

Very often when cats come to Kats & Kits we know little of their backgrounds. Sometimes they are strays who have been fending for themselves for a long time and are in poor condition, others are luckier and find compassionate people who do their best to find out where they belong. Almost all Vets and Cat Rescues are able to scan animals to see if they are micro chipped, they also have lost and found books, so this a good port of call if your cat is missing or you have found one.

Cats curiosity can get them into trouble, sleeping in sheds or garages that are then closed, jumping into vans and cars and being driven away, even getting into containers and travelling half way round the world. When a neighbour`s cat went missing it made it’s presence known in the middle of the night, in the wardrobe of the house next door.

What do you do if your cat is missing? Look thoroughly in sheds, garages, cupboards even chests of drawers and get your neighbours to do the same. Next, quickly put up posters and put flyers through letterboxes, you might be lucky and find someone in the next street who is looking for the owner of cat she has just found, yours. In any event do not give up easily, keep ringing the vet and the neighbours, it has been known to take weeks before the cat is found.

If you find a cat then do the same things, ring the Vet, get in touch with a Cat Rescue, ask your neighbours, put up posters and send flyers. There is a good chance that someone will know of somebody who has lost a cat.
