FOUND CAT TIPS RESCUE LINK AT BOTTOM IF NEEDED after legal stray hold! Thank you for helping this cat!🐾❤️ **THINK LOST 🛑 NOT STRAY!** Please get proof of ownership before turning the pet over (vet records, pictures etc.) *Please do not feed them from cans it can cut their tongues. Check with neighbors. Cats don’t run like dogs do, they have territories and usually hang close to home but could be lost or a free roaming outdoor cat. They don’t normally go too far from home, very territorial, please ask neighbors within a 17 house radius to see if it’s their cat. Unless it has been picked up or hitched a ride from somewhere! Tip: Place a paper collar with a note attached. You cut the paper so it will easily tear if the cat gets caught on anything. Write something like: “If this is your cat, please call ##### so we know he/she has a home and don’t rescue them.” (1) Contain the pet so it is safe from danger and escaping. (2) PLEASE Scan for microchip (vet, shelters, area pet stores) should do it for free (I helped reunite a cat that was lost for 3 years that had a chip so please get scanned) (3) Legally, you must report the Found Pet to ANIMAL CONTROL in the area(city/county) where found. ITS THE LAW TO DO THIS -STRAY HOLD VARIES BY COUNTY, OWNERS will CHECK there first. If can’t contain, contact a no shelter to help (link at bottom) (4) ADS: Craigslist, www.lostmykitty.com (free listing) it will send a fax blast to the closest vets, shelters in your area, Facebook (Lost and Found Sites, search ones for your County, your city and states sites like these but there are others: https://www.facebook.com/groups/769692416445474/ (and this says dogs but they post all pets ) https://www.facebook.com/LostFoundDogs.NC, https://www.facebook.com/groups/232707254986676/?ref=share Nextdoor.com, (be sure to use the universal option to share pet post everywhere), pawboost.com, https://24petconnect.com , https://lost.petcolove.org/ , https://www.helpinglostpets.com/ Newspaper Wake County post where too: https://m.facebook.com/groups/3638406106481481/?ref=share (5) Contact local vets, groomers, pet stores, local rescues (6) Hang & Pass out Flyers, give to mail carrier!

For Cats: After stray hold is up and owner not found, please find a rescue / foster for it as shelters are not the best choice for the kitties unless it’s a no one 😢 If you can foster or donate it will help!
