Cats are less likely to go missing if they are neutered and kept in during the hours of darkness.

If your cat is missing

• Check your property including all rooms, cupboards, boxes, household appliances, sheds, garages and vehicles.
• Check gardens, bushes - a torch is useful at night.
• Put some posters up locally, place in shops, garages and post offices
• Ask locally if anyone has seen your cat
• Contact local veterinary practices
• Contact your local Cat Protection Branch. We need to know colour, sex, age, if microchipped, if wearing a collar, identifying features and date last seen. Please email us a photo if possible.
• Contact other agencies / animal charities

When your cat returns, don’t forget to notify all the people you have notified.

If you find a cat

• Ensure that the cat is indeed lost!
• Ask neighbours if their cat is missing.
• Put up posters locally.
• Try to find out the sex and age of the cat – note the cat’s colour and whether it has a collar. If possible, take the cat to a vet to see if it has a microchip.
• Notify vets, Cat Protection and other agencies.
• If the cat is friendly and in good condition it may belong to someone and Cat Protection can provide a strong paper collar so that the owner is alerted to the fact that their cat is straying. Please ask for one when reporting the found cat
• Please offer the cat food and water and some shelter until help arrives.

Our branch is often full to capacity and we can always place details of the cat on our website but can rarely collect a cat immediately.
