Kristin Collins Bokelman just keep in mind that lighting can make a big difference on color of the cat and distance should not be a concern, either, because cats have been known to climb into the backs of trucks or up in engines of cars and travel miles before they get out.

Kristin Collins Bokelman I just lost my cat a couple days ago even though we are far I just want to check, he has shorter hair in his belly than the rest of his body since he was just neutered in March

Rhonda Bliss I appreciate your note. We have already had a strange experience with someone claiming this cat was theirs, but the pictures did not match up at all. They were still very forceful even though it was clear this was not their cat. We will be very cautious and need photos to confirm this cat is returned back to their family. We did have the cat scanned and unfortunately no chip was found.

[KF] Thank you for helping this kitty. People generally ignore roaming cats, because only a few municipalities and counties in Colorado don't allow it. Someone's indoor cat can get out and be chased by a dog or predator and travel a long distance from home. Even outdoor cats can get lost. They can be picked up by someone and taken miles from home and dumped. They can climb into a car engine or the back of a truck and be driven miles from home. Their families may be frantically looking for their missing kitties, and don't know about online lost and found pets sites or just what to do to find their cats. We should never assume that a roaming cat is not lost. A vet or shelter will scan for a microchip free of charge. Also, please post on other lost and found sites and your neighborhood social media site. You can also check with vets, shelters, and animal control in the area to see if this pet has been reported missing. Some people, especially the elderly, don't know how to go online to search for lost pets, so some big neon posters in the area would be helpful. If the family does come forward, please be sure they have pics and vet records to prove ownership. Also, just a friendly FYI: Pets are considered personal property. If a person shelters a stray, they must actively search for it's owners and cannot give or sell it to another, or it could be considered theft. Also, please don't even give a pet to someone you don't know who offers to foster while they find the family. Although there are some very good-hearted people out there, there are also some very evil ones, who use strays and free pets for very nefarious reasons, including dog fighting bait. Unfortunately, they really know how to con people. Only a licensed rescue or shelter can put a pet up for adoption after 3-5 days. Individuals who keep a stray can only file a legal claim for ownership due to abandonment after 5 yrs. Thanks again! ❤
