If you see an unfamiliar cat, you need to figure out whether
she is feral or a pet. Some lost cats may act quite evasive. If the cat has a
collar or looks well cared for, she is probably a lost pet. Lure the cat to you
with food. If you can pick her up
safely, check her collar for contact information. Consider taking the lost cat
to the police, an animal shelter or the vet and scanned for an embedded
microchip. They will match chip numbers to pet owners in a database. Check your
neighborhood for LOST CAT signs. Consider hanging FOUND CAT signs. You may be
able to post free FOUND ads in some newspapers and online resources. If the
owner isn’t found, you have to make a choice: keep the cat yourself, give her
to a friend, or surrender her to an animal shelter. Learn
more from your pet clinic Temecula, CA.
