  If one is hopping call RSPCA 0300 1234 999. Cats Protection are full. Call us on 0345 371 2065 to discuss adding them to the waiting list. Try Holly Hexge, to see if they have space or RSPCA at Brent Knoll. There is also a website that may help www.catchat.org

  Please have a read of the help tips below . Go out looking / calling for your cat rattling some food that they like. Look under bushes cars, listen at garages and sheds in case they have got shut in by mistake. -if they are shy and nervous go out at night too when it is quieter. Calling for them. ... . Ask your neighbours to keep an eye out for your cat and leave a picture and your phone number . Post missing posters through doors, in local shop windows, even in your car window. Some insurance companies help provide posters etc for missing cats so do phone your insurer. . Place little piles of used cat litter around your property to enable the cat to smell their way home hang either the blanket or bedding they sleep on on the line so they can smell it or if we use aftershave or perfume... that they would be used to stick something of ours on the line. Scatter their used cat litter around your property if theyre pregnant or shy make sure to look in boxes in peoples gardens and small spaces, behind sheds etc . Put your facebook picture as your cat and your status saying when missing and where etc and ask others to share it also. . Phone all local vets and animal rescues including pdsa, rspca and cpl .When contacting above people make sure you have your cats Chip number to hand . Log as missing on as many missing pet websites as you can find and also check the found sections for your county and neighbouring county. Try and include a good photo or two and as much info as you can about the cat to make it easy for people to identify. . Sadly also contact the local council to see if any rta's have been reported/collected. When you do find your cat dont forget to tell everyone! As it clogs up the system with cats that are home otherwise.

  Julie T. asked:

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

  

  Bev W. replied:

  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.

  Claire J. asked:

  Still require help for this boy, This is the stray black entire male I reported in March as being poorly, currently living at the bottom of the garden of a 92yr old lady in Langley who has already taken on 3 stray males and cannot take him too. He is in dire need of a vet and we have contacted CP but they are unable to help. Can anyone tell me where else to try? If all else fails, Iris cats in need in STOKE will try to arrange urgent transport. He has a nasty wound to his neck and abscessed wound on his back. He has lost weight since I last saw a photo of him, can anyone recommend anywhere? Or can anyone transport to ST6 its an hours drive - sadly I don't drive. Poor boy :( my mum lives nearby and has taken the video and some food round

  

  Sarah C. replied:

  Contact cats protection as well they will sometimes come out and take them to a vet for treatment. They can also scan as well for a microchip. Have a look on catchat.org too x

  Bruce B. asked:

  does anyone know a place to take a stray cat to for rehoming??? Thers a cat that keeps turning up at my house but the cats owner has moved away and left her??? Please can someone help??? X

  

  Cat 1. replied:

  Hi Bruce, Our best advice is contact a rescue centre or rehoming group in your area, (you may have to contact more than one, to find one with space) - find your local cat rescues here: http://www.catchat.org/adoption Also, email our help desk for more advice at: cat.advice (at) catchat.org Until the cat is collected, it would help greatly if you can provide the cat with daily food, water and somewhere dry to shelter: See our 'found cat' advice here: http://www.catchat.org/lost.html#found Hope that helps, and best of luck. xx

  Cat 1. replied:

  Hi Susan, it's lovely of you thinking of your neighbour and doing your best to help her. This is such a common problem, and there doesn't seem to be many services available for this length of time. Please email our cat advice helpdesk for suggestions, and to ask if they know of any temporary cat care options in your area. Email: cat.advice (at) catchat.org For further support and advice, please post on our Forum: http://www.catchat.org/forum.html Hope this helps xx
