  ADVICE IF YOU HAVE FOUND A CAT If the cat will let you approach him, make up a paper collar with a note on saying: "If this is your cat please call this number...", so that you can ascertain whether the cat is definitely stray. Place it round the cat's neck and secure the two ends with a small piece of sellotape (don't put sellotape right round the whole thing as that can be dangerous if the cat gets caught up anywhere). If no-one calls in 24 hours you can be fairly sure it is most likely lost or stray, then proceed as follows... A simple Cat Shelter ADVICE IF YOU HAVE FOUND A CAT if the cat is hungry, please feed it, and provide clean water, (not cows milk, as many cats and kittens are lactose intolerant) If you cannot take it into your home, please make sure there is somewhere dry and waterproof outside for shelter. This can be as simple as a cardboard box covered with a bin liner or clingfilm, and weighted down against the wind, or tucked under a bush for stability. Ideal bedding to put inside is a thick layer of straw, which acts as a heat-conserving 'nest'. Alternatively, a jumper or towel will do, but this should be changed regularly as these retain moisture and can encourage mold or mildew. contact your local animal rescue groups, in case they have been reported as lost - contact details for rescues across the UK appear on our: Shelters Pages give the cat's description to local vets in case the owner contacts them, and if possible, take the cat to a vet who will check for a microchip - for details of vets in your area go to: www.any-uk-vet.co.uk phone Petlog on 0844 4633 999 Or visit: www.petlog.org.uk so that they can check their 'lost cat' records for your area. phone the RSPCA helpline to register the cat's details, as they match up lost & found cats across the UK: 0300 1234 999 Check the “Lost a Pet” galleries (searchable by area) to see if the cat has been reported lost, here: www.animalsearchuk.co.uk check the lost & found notices in your local paper post details on our forum under 'Lost & Found' »» the Cat Chat Forum make up a small notice saying 'Cat Found' with a description, which can be displayed in local newsagents, shops etc. It is a good idea not to give a full description of the cat, so that if someone contacts you saying the cat belongs to them, you can check those extra details with them to know if they are the genuine owners, and not just someone after a ‘free cat’ (Template ‘Found Cat’ posters can be obtained from the Cats Protection helpline: 03000 12 12 12) if the owner cannot be traced, and you are not able to adopt the cat yourself, contact your local rescue centre as above, so that they can arrange to take the cat in for rehoming. If you intend to keep the cat, take him to a vet for a health check, and to arrange for him to be neutered and microchipped

  Not local but still hopefully the power of social media will know someone who knows someone in or around that area :-)

  Put up posters and leaflet all neighbours to please OPEN sheds and garages for a little while in case he/she is trapped inside to give him/her chance to escape., put reward on your leaflets/posters if you feel you want to but don't say how much, keep sharing his/her picture, post on fb groups, vets and rescues etc...and someone will offer information or may have seen him/her, . Also tonight empty something from the vacuum outside and put his/her bedding on the line and he/she will smell the direction of home if he/she's just a bit lost and call him/her when its quiet/late as you walk BACK towards home so he could follow if he/she's nearby. Also check any nearby empty houses/allotments/cat hoarders/feeders. Do also look in peoples windows and bedroom windows in case he/she has been taken in, it does happen. Search your garden and neighbours’ gardens regularly in case he/she is hiding under shrubs/hedges and inside and under sheds, they do this if they are injured. Also check/register on animalsearchuk.co.uk check Gumtree, (lost and found and also the ones for sale), nationalpetregister.org, all local vets/rescues etc.. rspca , Check Catchat.org and select your area to get a list of all local rescues to contact and post on local facebook selling and lost and found sites, and, as sad as it may be, you may have to check with your Local Council, best of luck xx Find a vets near you.
