Missing Cats - Lost & Found

If your cat has gone missing or you think you have identified a stray, please choose your subject from the list at the bottom of the page
Neutered or un-neutered cats can easily get themselves lost, especially when the weather warms up. The natural world becomes more active & distracting at certain times of the year, particularly in spring. They do not intentionally stray from their territory & may need help finding home & safety again. A cat which has lost its way will reside in a new area, sometimes closer than you might think, & try to scavenge resources/food wherever it can. Individuals may be buffeted further from their homes by resident stray/feral or entire tomcats of the area. Only extremely lucky animals find their way home again by themselves.
The advice for re-locating lost pets & the knowledge in this section stem from universally recognised guidelines, 1st hand experiences & some very real lost & found cases.
Please find guidelines for re-locating lost cats in this chapter...
"Thank you so much, i went off looking for her & found her. She is now filthy, still hungry, but curled up in bed. I told our vets about your website"
Gemima's family 13/04/10
Because of her owners quick response with posters & publicity, attention was paid to Gemima in the streets. She was very fortunate to be noticed while still wearing a collar & id tag, she had gone further than anyone had thought.
A cat wearing a collar doesn't automatically mean it is not lost. Please keep an eye our for any animal behaving oddly.
