As tempting as it may be, do not adopt it without trying to find the real owners or pick it up without having any kind of care
Did you ever find a lost cat on the street and did not know what to do? It is normal for people to have no idea how to act and end up not helping the little animal. However, it is important that you do not ignore the situation and try to solve the problem. Your help is very important for the pet to return home.
The first step is not to adopt it right away. As tempting as it may be, avoid fondling the pet and calling your pet because it probably belongs to someone. If it was your lost cat would like it back, then do not act that way. On the other hand, if it does not belong to anyone, it can be silly and end up hurting you when you get it.
For your safety, make sure that the pussy is domestic. Sometimes you have just stumbled across the street, the pussies do a lot of that. The difference from this animal to the only living in the home is a vulnerability, difficulty walking between people and lack of ability to get food alone.
There is still that cat that is from the street and lives in colonies. These pussies are rude and will not adapt to the family home.
If you notice that the cat is clearly uncomfortable, confused and does not know if to turn, is probably lost. So try to approach slowly and gain confidence. If it allows your ringing, check for a name and phone collar of the owners. If there is identification, it is much easier to return it.
How to act when there is no collar
In such cases, take it to a veterinarian to find out if there is any identifying microchip. If you do not have it, ask the residents and establishments nearby where you found it if anyone knows the prospective owner. Also, check if there are posters of search by the region and look in the social networks notices about the pussy.
If nothing succeeds, start a campaign to find the true tutors. Take a good photo, where and when you found it, your name and your contact. Distribute posters on the streets, establishments, and shelters. Ask your family members to share your social media posting and help the owner search the web.
What to do if you do not find the owners or if they do not want the animal?
During the search, there is a great chance that you will not find the owners or they will reject the animal. In such situations, you will need to make an important decision: adopt it or find a new home. In case of adoption, remember to take the pussy to the vet to be vaccinated and wormed, if necessary, and buy an identification collar.
If you or someone close to you cannot keep the pet, you will need to start a new campaign, but this time of adoption. Use social networks and your circle of friends to find a new owner. Another option is to take you to an animal shelter. The problem is that most are crowded and may not have space available.
It can be difficult to solve the whole case of the lost cat but do not give up. The animal will be very grateful for the help it is receiving.
