Found a Lost Cat?

What To Do If You Find A Lost Cat

Have you found a cat that you think could be lost, or has one started visiting your property? Here’s some advice on what to do next:

If possible, take the cat to your nearest veterinary practice and have them scanned for a microchip. Vets will do this free of charge and will be able to contact the owners should the cat have a registered microchip.

If they don’t have a chip, check the UK lost and found pets database, and add the cat to it if you don’t see a matching description.

You can also add a paper collar to the cat with your details written on. This way if the cat is owned, the owner will hopefully get in touch to let you know.

Keep your eye out for any posters of missing cats, it could be the one you found! It can also be helpful to add details of the cat, including photos if possible, to local pages and groups on social media sites such as Facebook. By following these steps you maximise the chance of the cat being reunited with its owner!
