Why Did I do That?
Answer? Because you're a good person.
Purrs are on the way. -- Joy No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch. - Leo Dworken "Ginger-lyn" wrote in message ... pounds head against wall The last thing I need right now.

Ginger-lyn Did you call the area shelters & vets, too? Is there someone who can post signs around the neighborhood for you? Not saying it will make a difference but it can't hurt. Good luck with finding the kitty's humans or at least another forever home. I completely understand why you can't tackle this yourself right now. Jill |

Ginger-lyn Don't know about in your area, but here In SC Indiana, one can take a pet (cat, dog or rabbit) to our shelter just to have it scanned with their universal microchip scanner (much more expensive than the brand-specific scanners that TED's normally use) and if it has a chip you can give your info to the shelter ands they will attempt to contact the "owner". I called Cat Welfare about this, but no answer, left a message, they never called back, and it's hard for me to remember much of anything right now. I will have to try again. I know I have taken several "strays" there to be scanned. Whenever I bring in a carrier, they always have a look on their face that seems to say "not another one" (for them to house, feed, vet & rehome) - so I am quick to explain that it is a stray that wandered to our house, and we are just having it scanned for a chip, not dropping it off. That usually brings a sigh of relief from the shelter worker lol! I can just see that. Ginger-lyn |
