We recommend that cats are always kept in at night, that they are
micro-chipped and that, if a collar is desired, make it a reflective one,
with collar and tag to say 'Scan Me'. If your cat is micro-chipped, please
be sure to keep the unification company up to date with changes of
address/phone numbers etc.

If your cat does go missing, keep calling him at regular intervals. Normally
the missing animal is locked in a shed or garage. Either knock at the doors
of your neighbours and ask them to check, or put leaflets through
letterboxes - for further than immediate neighbours.
Notify the unification company and local vets. A poster outside your front
entrance will catch the eye of passers by you may not have leafleted, and
will encourage discussions if the cat has been sighted.

We keep a Lost & Found register, which has been successful in the past.
Please phone 01322 332334 between 8 and 5 pm,Mon to Friday, and Saturday
mornings only.
But please notify us if the cat is found, otherwise precious time and
resources can be wasted trying to contact already reunited owners.......

If you find a cat, please do the same - notify us, your local vets and
possibly put up a notice, but not giving out too many details on the notice.
Cats can be taken for a variety of reasons and the stealing of other
people's cats is not to be encouraged. All rescue organisations and
veterinary clinics have a scanner to trace a planted microchip. Anyone of
these will scan the cat for no charge.
We will put the 'found' cat on our Waiting List, and if the owner is not
eventually found and no-one in the vicinity is prepared to adopt it after a
decent period, we will endeavour to take him in to one of our pens and
rehome after the usual veterinary checks and treatment. However, please be
aware that this may not be for a while in most cases, as all rescue centres
are overwhelmed with abandoned animals.
