contact
CP...
... ring 01223 441880
for the Lost & Found register number. Your cat's details
will remain on our list until we are notified otherwise.
local newspapers...
... usually have a lost & found column and will often
put one night's free insertion in if a pet has been missing
for more than 3 days.
local radio stations...
...can sometimes help with an appeal for a missing pet. You
should be able to find their numbers in Yellow Pages or on
their websites.
notify the police...
... the telephonists keep a log of all missing and found animals.
phone the council...
... both the City and County councils have cleansing departments
and if your cat has been killed on the road, they might know.
contact all the
vets ...
... in your area - not just your own vet.
animal welfare groups...
... try ringing around local welfare groups, the following
are the primary groups in Cambridge - you will find more in
the Yellow Pages:
Blue Cross: 01223 350153
Wood Green Animal Shelters:
01763
241948 (Heydon)

ask your postman...
... milkman, newspaper boy, window cleaner and local school
children if they have seen anything and to keep their eyes
open.
local shops...
... and Post Offices will usually be happy to put a notice
up in their window - include a photograph if you can.
make up a leaflet...
... with a description and circulate to everyone in your area.
Some people believe you should offer a reward, others think
this encourages unscrupulous folk to pick up someone elses
cat and bring it to your door.
never give up looking...
... we often hear of cats reappearing after astonishing lengths
of time away from home. If you have registered him missing
with us and other charities, please let us all know if he
returns.
when he returns...
... and has been missing for more than a day or two, it's
a good idea to keep him indoors for a few days to resettle
himself
