I saw a cat like this posted as missing just a day or two ago on one of these Facebook pages. 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! ❤
