The Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire receives many calls about stray cats needing to come into the shelter. This is more typical during the winter months. Here are some tips to recognize a stray vs. an indoor/outdoor cat.
To determine if a cat has a home, refer to:
Next Steps
-
Contact the neighbors! Many times these found cats are owned by a neighbor.
-
Fill out a Found Report. It is important to attach a photo because we put these photos up on our site and on social media sites.
-
Get the cat scanned for a microchip at your veterinarian's office.
-
Post found flyers in the neighborhood and at the local veterinarians. Be sure to include a photo.
-
Check newspaper ads and Craigslist postings for lost pets.
