Maria Moz Not advisable , taking an animal to a shelter is taking that animal further away from its home, and they'll be thrust into a chaotic situation where they'll be distressed withdrawn, scared, upset,the owner won't know it's there, and it'll be upset,and the unknowledgeable overwhelmed staff will do what they do at all shelters and use the animal's stress as the animals unadoptable , a reason to euthanize, either they'll be adopted or ed, either way,they'll never go home again. Shelter at home is better,put up flyers where the animal was found

Airtag! Oh GOOD: Since kitty is friendly - lure with food or TREATS and check the airtag: With an iPhone: Tap and hold the white side of the AirTag to the top back of your iPhone. Tap the notification that appears to open a webpage with the owner's contact information and serial number. With an Android phone: Ensure NFC is enabled in your settings. Tap and hold your phone against the white side of the AirTag, then tap the resulting notification to view the owner's details. Earlier this year a cat showed up with airtag eating the food I put out at a neighbors for a feral cat - after 2 weeks of trying to read the phone number from my camera next to teh food (could not read it all the way) I ended up trapping the cat and that cat was 2 miles away from home! The guardian assumed her cat was dead and stopped looking - the cat normally stays very close to home but must have gotten into a truck or vehicle and jumped out at some point ... anyway thank you for helping this cat. The guardian or feeder could have or ended up in the hospital so it's always GOOD not to assume kitty is ok just because wearing an airtag - BECAUSE of the cat meowing at you...that's what concerns me...thank you for hekping this cat -praying a neighbor you talk to says it's their kitty and that kitty is just a thin cat...sending you LOVE

LunaMoon Guerrero OH I missed the part about the airtag! 6 months ago a cat with an airtag showed up in a neighbor's backyard where I feed a feral cat and after 2 weeks (shy cat) I ended up trapping the cat adn scanning - the guardian was SO HAPPY! the cat was an indoor OUTDOOR cat that is used to being out ALL the time but somehow was 2 miles away from home and SCARED - so I now never assume an airtag means not lost - but yes that someone cares for the cat - so thank you for posting how the finder can check the airtag!!

🐱💜Dear kind compassionate neighbor. I ADORE people like you who look out for the often ignored lost/stray roaming kitty. Thank you for helping to save this kitty’s life! Kitty is most likely very hungry & dehydrated. ((Cats that haven’t eaten for days and barely eaten for weeks will still ‘APPEAR’ OK - fur is very deceiving and it takes a long time for cats to look ill.)) May I kindly suggest providing water and Wet food. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.🐱💜We are often a cat’s last hope after another human failed them. 🐱 Lost cats REMAIN very near their last residence …Unfortunately many kitty guardians give up WAY TOO SOON on the search assuming kitty is never coming back or deceased (not realizing how close they remain and/or sometimes they're trapped in a garage etc) Kitty could belong to an elderly person who lives alone and doesn't use the internet or know how to find kitty (or can't physically get around well). Or kitty's guardian could have or was hospitalized. And sadly, MANY cats are born in backyards due to guardians who aren’t fixing their own cats that they allow outside. AND MANY sweet cats get ABANDONED (yes happens all the time)….and they need our help 🙏 🐱 MOST (if not all) of the neighbors that live on your block - will NOT see any of these posts on pawboost, nextdoor or facebook. So Informing your neighbors in person is KEY. The neighbors around your block and across the street are exactly who need to be informed via FLYERS and/or knocking on doors and asking. THE BEST THING TO DO To find out if kitty has a guardian: Get kitty into your bathroom where it's safe and contained and Knock on your neighbors doors..someone might know where kitty lives .. Food bowl water bowl, litter box and blanket or ideally a covered carrier can be used as a little hideaway for kitty - or even a cardboard box turned to it’s side and partially covered and blanket/towel inside :) 🐱💜 SCAN KITTY FOR MICROCHIP: Try winning kitty’s trust with food and pets and gently Get kitty safely inside a SECURE cat carrier and get kitty scanned for a microchip at any vet (Free) or shelter (Free) hopefully kitty has a microchip with guardian’s up to date contact information. TIP: Always Cover the cat carrier with a blanket once kitty is inside and during travel it will help calm them. 📌 HOW TO GET A CAT INSIDE A CARRIER (Butt-first) 🐱https://youtu.be/-jLUsGsejRk (I made this video to show you how) Place hard open carrier behind the kitty and give kitty treats or food in front of kitty ,gently pull kitty’s shoulders and body BACK toward the opening…very gently! Kitty will pause then walk backwards into the carrier! 👏🏼 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l5eJVen9SC9Zm7D3LCr-CZlsmAnl0_cL/view?usp=sharing SEE IMAGE BELOW …. If no microchip (or unable to get kitty into carrier) please bring kitty inside (where it is safe from coyotes into a bathroom or bedroom or closet or inside an extra large playpen: https://a.co/d/7EUE4E2 ) and print FLYERS… 🐱💜PRINT “FOUND- IS THIS YOUR CAT” FLYERS (Download Template/s below) Post up Flyers around your block on both sides of every lamppost - and distribute flyers door to door around the block and across the street to all your neighbors . KNOCK ON DOORS and ask if anyone knows where this sweet kitty lives... leave a note or FLYER or MINI-FLYER if not home ( use that blue painters tape to adhere directly to front doors or mailboxes so they are noticed. (don’t place mini flyers inside mailboxes they will get lost) You want to cover ALL possibilities. Spreading the word IN PERSON and online/ 💜💜💜 💜💜💜 Of 4 cats I helped recently , 2 were microchipped (chip company reached out to the guardian while I kept the cat in my bathroom and 1 cat was NOT chipped so I printed mini flyers and full page flyers. I used painters tape to tape MINI flyers to every resident’s front door around the entire block (kitty was in the backyard) and posted up flyers on lampposts and within 24 hours the guardian called! Not all cats have this happy ending but gosh it's the best feeling to help reunited a kitty with their guardian - thank you for helping ‘found’ cats get home. And if kitty is homeless, prayfully you might foster the cat until you can find a loving home… When they ‘show up’ in our lives it usually means they need help. I recently took home a cat seen in a neighbor’s backyard - she noticed a limp but thought kitty was fine. I cared for ‘Rain’ for 3 nights - he was in such bad shape but it wasn’t obvious from just looking at kitty going to the food bowl - he had been hurt by a human and had face trauma and brain damage…I was able to get him to the vet and have him assessed and get him strong pain and kept him warm and well fed in my bathroom - where it’s safe even for a sick cat with parasites ( administered to any and all parasites like fleas) He passed away on the 3rd morning. He had been ignored outside in people’s backyards for weeks..I’m so blessed to have been able to care for him for those 3 nights - he knew he was being LOVED for the first time in a long time …he did not die alone and I made sure he was medicated so he didn’t feel pain. 💜💜💜 💜💜💜
