Thank you, kind human, for keeping this sweet cat safe, and if possible, contained 🤗 (So many pets are hit and killed before they're able to be safely returned home. 😔) Someone’s kitty out without “permission”? TALK to neighbors… 🐾Any vet’s office will scan for microchip for free. 🐾Not everyone is looking for their lost pets online, so it’s important to TALK to neighbors in the area. 🐾Check pawboost for LOST pets; and list kitty as FOUND. 🐾Contact shelter with description and location: may be first place family is looking. 🐾Posting "found cat" on a simple cardboard, along with your phone number, posted close can be extremely helpful. Have any caller identify kitty FIRST (though most are, some people are not good and will claim pets for unkind reasons) 🥹💖 And THANK YOU for caring enough to Act and help make our community a safe and caring place for everyone, especially these vulnerable animals, who rely on humans for their care 💗

Thank you for helping. Below are some tips: ✅ Please check for a microchip. It's free to check with any vet, the emergency vet is open 24/7. Also free with PetSmart and animal control when they are open. Be sure he is securely leashed so he doesn't get away at chip check location. ✅ The Nextdoor app is a helpful resource as well for lost/found pets. ✅ Check with neighbors at pickup location. May belong to someone who is not online. ✅ Please keep special identifying details to a minimum (special markings, collar colors/details so anyone who wants to claim will have to identify by those. 🚨Also require proof of ownership from anyone trying to claim (vet papers, old photos etc). ✅ Report to animal control and the shelter in case the owner calls or goes there looking for their pet. ✅ Please give the required 72 hours for the owners to try and find before rehoming. ✅ Check vet references and charge a rehoming fee to anyone looking to adopt so the pet doesn't end up in a bad place. Hope the rightful owner is found soon 🙏
