Small update: We had taken this cat to a pet emergency room the night we found it to check for a chip, and it doesn’t have one. It also had no collar when found. We have called nearby shelters in the past few days, but none are taking rescues currently. Unfortunately it is not eating the food we set out for it, and also won’t be able to take care of it much longer and may need to rerelease it soon if the owner isn’t found.

Thanks for caring! Please take the cat to be scanned for a microchip at any local vet. Call ahead. No appointment needed. It is free. Please be very careful about who you give the cat to. Unfortunately, some people pretend to be owners, animal lovers, but they take cats, kittens and dogs to use as bait or in dog fights. People take advantage of the situation and use them for bad things such as bait for dog fighting, feeding them to snakes, selling them to researchers. Some individuals may act like they love animals and are willing to take them, but once they do, they abuse them. Be careful of who you give them too no matter how good their profile looks. A lot of phonies out there. They're very good at making up stories about how they'll give the pet the best home, etc. Some individuals may act like they love cats and are willing to take them, but once they do, they abuse them. This happened to a friend of mine who gave a stray cat to someone, only to later find out that the poor dog was used for dog fights. Please share this on your Facebook and to the Nextdoor Neighbor and/or Ring apps for your area for more visibility. Not everyone is on fb. Try to find rescue organizations in your area and look them up on Facebook. You can call and get on a waitlist; they may be able to help you. ❤🙏

can you take him to your local vet and have him scan for a microchip?
