This is all general info. Not all may apply, depending on the circumstances. The finder will decide if, what, and when to do things, if applicable. First ask around. If the kitty looks in good shape it hopefully lives nearby, and could be an indoor/outdoor cat. Then get kitty scanned for a microchip at a vet clinic (free). If no luck, get signs up and check with local vet clinics in case they recognize it (give them each a sign). Also post on Neighbourhood groups. But only hand over with proof of ownership (photos and vet records). Also check the listings on the lost and found sites in case owner has posted, and be sure to also post in the fb group: Toronto Lost and Found Cats If you feel it is truly a lost cat (in danger where found, too cold or in distress, hungry and/or thin), then file a found report with Animal Services/local shelters and keep checking their listings (this can usually be done while still holding onto the kitty which is less stressful for it). Also, when transporting cat, make sure it’s in a secure carrier. Borrow one if needed. A rescue or shelter may assist with loaning a live trap if securing too hard. Also try sitting, not facing the kitty head on, and talking in a soft, high-pitched voice and having tasty food available can gain its trust. May take time.
