LIST of LOST & FOUND CATS in
the Glastonbury & Wells Branch Area.
This list is published weekly
in the local papers and new details added to our website on a weekly
basis. We keep unclaimed strays for 3 weeks before rehoming them,
therefore found cats are not left on this list for more than 5
weeks.

We sometimes find cats who are microchipped but their owners have
not notified the microchip company that they have moved house - it
is then impossible to reunite these people with their pet.
IF YOU MOVE CHANGE YOUR DETAILS ON THE
MICROCHIP DATABASE - it is pointless having the cat
chipped if you don't!

To
report a missing cat or claim a found one, please contact Rosemary
on 01458 831419 -but see
below, first.
Here is a useful information video if you
have lost your cat:
IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE FOUND A STRAY CAT,
you need first of all to be fairly sure that it is a stray and not
merely a new cat exploring it's territory.
If the cat is
healthy, not especially hungry and is not around all the time,
the chances are it has an owner nearby. We recommend that you DO
NOT encourage the cat by feeding it, and the moggie will
probably return home.
If you continue
to see the cat, put a notice in your local shops or pub or even in a
nearby telephone box. Ask neighbours if it is their cat.
Phone Rosemary on
01458 831419. She is our Lost & Found Officer and will take
details of the cat for our Lost & Found Register. It may also be
possible for one of our volunteers to arrange to scan the cat for a
microchip.
If the cat is
injured or in distress phone our Lost & Found Officer without
delay. We will assess the situation and do our best to find a space
in one of our pens if we think it necessary.
Please be aware
that space is limited and we cannot guarantee to take the cat in
immediately if it is fit and healthy.
IF YOU LOSE YOUR CAT phone
Rosemary on 01458 831419. She will take details and arrange
for your cat to be advertised in a local paper as lost.
You
should also check with your local vets, put notices up in local
shops etc., and ask neighbours to check their sheds and garages in
case your cat is shut in.
If your cat is
microchipped, notify the relevant company. Try not to worry too
much; cats often turn up after a few days - or weeks - but they
never let on where they've been!
If your cat does
return please remember to tell our Lost & Found Officer.
MICROCHIPPING Cats Protection recommend that you have your cat microchipped.
It is a simple, painless procedure costing around £20 to £25. This
is much safer for your cat than putting a collar on - which can
result in horrific injuries if the cat's leg gets trapped in the
collar or worse still if the collar gets caught in the branch of a
tree.
Microchipping lasts for the life of the
cat. All you need to do is notify the relevant company of any change
of address or phone number.
All veterinary practices and rescue
centres have microchip scanners so that a lost cat can be quickly
reunited with it's owner.
It also proves beyond doubt to whom the
cat belongs in cases of dispute.
NEUTERING
A neutered cat - male or female - is
always less likely to roam than an entire one. Have your new pet
neutered as soon as it is old enough. Your cat will be healthier and
happier for it. There are too many unwanted kittens in the area
already; please don't add to the problem.
