Who should I contact about a stray cat?
5 Answers
Would appreciate some advice about a little cat that's been hanging about my garden for about a week.
It's an un - neutered male around 9 months to 1 year old. i'm guessing he has somehow lost his wat from his home fairly recently as he still looks in very good condition and had a little red collar on ( no contact details, just a little bell ) . However he does seem extremely hungry and although I probably shouldn't I have been putting food out for him in our shed - which explains , of course, why he is hanging about! He's such a friendly affecionate thing and shows no signs of ill treatment.
So , who would be the best people to contant to get him reunited with his owners?
I've asked around a few of the neighbours and checked local shops for posters but no luck. If I take him to the vet can they check to see if he is micro chipped? Or would we better to contact the local SSPCA ? Do we have to take the cat to them or can we just phone and ask if anyone has reported a missing cat of his description?
Unfortunately brining into our house is not an option. We've got two adult cats already, and a 2 months old kitten so we're definetly at our moggy limit!
Any suggestions would be appreciated , thanks.

Have phoned the cat and dog home, who said they don't take descriptions of lost or found animals and gave me the number of National Petwatch.
Thanks for the suggestion, beejay, now we.ve had no luck with the chip I'm going to make up some posters this afternoon to put up in shops and in the girl's school.
