This cat is the sweetest, most loving cat. The cat has been coming around for about a year and I wasn’t concerned since there was a collar on. Now the collar is missing and this cat has gotten thinner and dirty. So I’ve created this post in hopes to find his/her family. I do leave food out because I’m not going to let it go hungry. Sorry if this is unacceptable to some people, but I don’t care.

Please take animal to Vet or AC to be scanned for a possible Microchip. Please create some found posters with picture and finders contact information to take to local rescues, shelters and ACs, in case owner does not have social media and goes to one of those looking for pet. THANK YOU

Barbara Ferguson friendly cats get adopted fast at Riverdale Animal Shelter. They're excellent at what they do. So this sweet fur baby will not be left wanting for a family. 🥰❤️

Good luck. He'll be fed and safe at the shelter if nobody claims him. Looks like a sweetheart.

This cat wants nothing more than to come into my house and be a family member. It breaks my heart so badly. I have 2 cats already. I know I shouldn't feed it, etc... but I can't let it go hungry. I am planning on taking him/her to the Riverdale Animal Shelter if I can't find the owner.

Will it let you catch it? If so maybe the shelter can scan for a chip. Thank you for caring. And maybe he has chosen you as his new family. ♥️

[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 websites 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! ❤
