Paper Collars for Stray Cats

HOW TO MAKE A PAPER COLLAR FOR A POTENTIAL STRAY CAT
Take a strip of paper and add wording along the lines of: "IS THIS YOUR CAT? IF SO, ……………… (add your contact details)."
Attach a small piece of tape to the end of the paper strip so you are ready when the cat is within reach. Don’t cover the entire collar with tape. For the cat’s safety it needs to be easily torn off if it gets caught on something. Make sure that the tape doesn’t stick to the cat’s fur.
If the cat is friendly, place the strip around its neck with the writing showing, leaving plenty of slack (you should be able to place two fingers beneath it).
You may need to make a new collar if the first one comes off. If the cat returns and you haven’t received any calls, attach a new collar.
