LOST & FOUND CATS

 

LIST of LOST & FOUND CATS in the Glastonbury & Wells Branch Area.

Missing from Street

 

 

This lovely tortie female aged about 18 months went missing from Street in early September.

 

She is friendly, inquisitive and may well have got into a car and travelled some distance from home.

 

She is microchipped and her owners and brother miss her very much.

 

Please phone Gill on 01749 850660 if you have any information about her.

To report a missing cat or claim a found one, please contact Rosemary on 01458 831419 - but see below, first.

 

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.
