Might be loved and lost: Please door knock ... If no success, asap distribute found posters and leaflets (as not everyone is on Facebook). Request proof of ownership (eg photos of cat and owner together not AI generated, microchip papers, or unique, unobvious distinguishing features). Also ID which matches physical address. For safety reasons (to protect from cat hating psychopaths) 😞 ... Call a rescue for a microchip scan. Last resort (as stressful for cat, could escape, end up at pound, or worse), take to vet for microchip scan and health check. If owner located, please explain that most cats need to be locked in for 3+ weeks to bond to a new (or old) home, otherwise sooner or later might try to head back to previous territory and become hopelessly lost ... Also, most cats are escape artists until bonded to new home (eg breaking through mosquito netting and forcing sliding doors / windows open. Best use a piece of dowell in door / window tracts to prevent opening more than 2cm). To be extra vigilant! Thanks for caring 🙏

Thanks for caring about this wonderful and beautiful 😻 kitty cat! Please 🙏 post on Nextdoor and ring apps. It will send your posts to your neighbors in 2-3 miles radius. Much better chance of getting a response. These are two free apps. They use your location to make a localized community. All the people near your location receive the posts, no one else. Nextdoor is kinda like neighborhood facebook. Ring app is for the ring doorbell cameras but you don’t need a camera to make an account. Almost all my neighbors are on it. They use the neighbors tab on ring app to post everyday porch pirate thefts, coyote sightings, cat sightings or lost cats information. God bless the kind people like you who take care of poor cats in need. 🤗 😢 So easy for everyone else to ignore them.
