Please report the found pet here and with other surrounding shelters and rescues and vets; you can also bring him/her in to scan for a chip: Fairfax County - https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalservices/lostandfoundpets/filereport Loudoun County - https://www.loudoun.gov/545/Lost-Found-Pets Prince William County - https://www.pwcva.gov/department/animal-services/report-lost-and-found-pets/ Fairfax County, VA has a Found cat program that they use to help determine if the cat has an owner before they take him in for adoption or TNR. Send them an email with photos at communitycats@fairfaxcounty.gov and they’ll help you with an “Am I lost?” blast and give you some flyers if you’re inclined to post them. If no one claims him after a week, the shelter staff can approve him being trapped and brought into the shelter. Also, if you can look on Pawboost.com, you might see if someone is missing them. You can also create FOUND postings on the same site. They give you a proxy email address to use-don’t include your phone number to avoid spammers.

Kudos on the tip about being cautious of predatorial "trackers." A dog can't pick up a scent after a couple of days anyway. They are out for the money and will post your ad on their page and when the dog returns home or is found locally, they make it seem like they found it. They cost upwards of 1000 dollars. They don't come right away either without money first. If you want to get help drone trackers are the best and you can find people who will volunteer their time and effort to help. The biggest pet tracker in our area has ripped off, lied and produced very few even leads (some made up) and it makes me sick people constantly promote them.
