Thread: Found cat

I've just registered him (without picture) on the register and will ring the local vets in the morning. I didn't realise cats could go that far, so maybe it is worth giving the owners of the missing cat a call. I just didn't want to give someone false hope if it wasn't theirs. I'm not able to keep him in the house, but my neighbour said he has been about last week so hopefully now i've fed him he won't wonder too far.

If you think he would be friendly enough to handle take him along to your nearest vets to get him scanned & fingers crossed he could have a microchip in. I wish they woud make ID chiping law,it would help these lost animals to be returned home a lot quicker.

Just ask the people whose cat is missing to describe him. You can then decide if it's worth them coming to look. Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

I agree if you can get him to the vet to check if he has been chipped. He may have owners out there going frantic with worry and if he looks like a good looking cat he may well have been paid for and microchipped.

That's a good idea, I will do that tomorrow, fingers crossed he is chipped. Will keep you all posted. Thanks again !

Just had a look at the missing cat advert on Animal search uk again, it says that the cat is 7 months old, do you think this one is older ? unfortunately there is no picture. It has been missing since mid feb also ?

Difficult to say. Can you ask the people to post a picture? It is possible he has been missing that long - he could have been getting the odd meal from people like you who feel sorry for him or even catching the odd mouse if he is a good hunter. There has certainly been no shortage of water recently!

Have had an email back from the owners of the missing cat and unfortunately their cat was an RTA. Will just have to wait and see now if I get any more responses and if he is around tomorrow will take him up the vets to check if he is chipped.
