Have you checked her microchip details? Does she have Tiger print in dark grey?

Tatjana Lazic Do not give to greyhound people! 😱 If no home found: Ideally, please involve a rehoming group with a good reputation. If re-homing / cat welfare groups are over-run, see guidelines below to help ensure a safe and successful transition into a new home. Sadly, there are cat hating, heartless sociopaths / psychopaths and "rescue groups" trawling these sites, with intent to harm / torture / cats, inc to use as bait for dog fighting, fishing and snakes food, etc. 😞 (They pretend to be caring and / or even send their well-presenting wives / children to collect). :-( Or others who are too unstable / careless / irresponsible. 😞 Or those who sell on (particularly extra beautiful or pedigree pets) to make a profit, not discerning re new safe and responsible owners 😞 Be suious of new, or locked, Facebook profiles. Or often seeking new pets. Visit any potential new home to vet for hazards. (eg vicious dogs, busy roads, toxins, snakes, ticks, excessive noise / smoke, aggressive adults / children, high -rise without safety netting around balcony, etc). Check the home address you visit matches their licence & bills address. (A responsible, caring person will understand why you need to do this). If the potential new owner isn't willing to allow you to see their home, red flag! Ask what happened to previous cat /s or dogs. (Good indicator of a safe, stable, happy home: the cat lived to an old age 18+ until it needed to be humanely put down by the vet. Confirm with vet. Red flag: last 3 cats ed on the road / attacked by dogs / disappeared ...) 😞 Attain independent evidence (inc vet references), that the new owner is a genuine, responsible, caring and stable cat lover. Match vet references with licence address. Call / visit the vet to ensure the reference is genuine. (Ideally known to the vet over a long period of time). Prioritize responsible owners who keep cats indoors and / or in a very secure cat enclosure. (Safer for cats and wildlife. Research confirms indoor cats live an average of 10+ years longer than free roaming ones). If a person is unwilling, or unable to afford to pay for a cat, they may be unwilling or unable to afford to pay for good food and vet bills. Most important: Cats must be locked in for 3+ weeks (preferably forever), with butter on their paws, to bond to a new home. Otherwise sooner or later will likely try to head back to your place (and might become hopelessly lost / injured / ed. Most cats are escape artists until bonded to new home (eg breaking through mosquito netting and forcing sliding doors / windows open). New owner must be extra vigilant! Introducing new cats to other cats is easiest if they are kept in a dog crate / cage (with pet bed, litter tray & heavy food bowls), for a week or two. Until they safely get to know / accept each other through cage bars. If possible, offer a trial period of a few weeks, which allows the new owner to return the cat/s. Keep cat/s microchipped in your name, until happily settled into the new home. (Request follow-up photos for peace of mind). Request a photo from time to time, to ensure all is okay. Also, please request to let you know if your cat happens to escape, or if there is any problem / change in circumstances, which may require your cat to be re-homed again. All the best 🙏

Might be loved and lost: Please door knock ... If no success, asap distribute found posters and leaflets (as not everyone is on Facebook). Request proof of ownership (eg photos of cat and owner together not AI generated, microchip papers, or unique, unobvious distinguishing features). Also ID which matches physical address. For safety reasons (to protect from cat hating psychopaths) 😞 ... Call a rescue for a microchip scan. Last resort (as stressful for cat, could escape, end up at pound, or worse), take to vet for microchip scan and health check. If owner located, please explain that most cats need to be locked in for 3+ weeks to bond to a new (or old) home, otherwise sooner or later might try to head back to previous territory and become hopelessly lost ... Also, most cats are escape artists until bonded to new home (eg breaking through mosquito netting and forcing sliding doors / windows open. Best use a piece of dowell in door / window tracts to prevent opening more than 2cm). To be extra vigilant! Thanks for caring 🙏

Her microchip is also registered to a GreyHound dog In Victoria. But she is found in Sydney. Unsure as to how this has happened
