Found Cat (midwest.social)

Found a lost cat at the park this week. Hopefully I can find her owners soon. In the meantime, she has certainly made herself at home.

I suspect 1-2 years old but hard to say. Female. Unsure if spayed. No collar or chip. Very sweet and friendly. Planning to get her to the vet for a checkup ASAP. She's a bit skinny so was probably lost for a few days, and definitely has an appetite now.

I hope she wasn't dumped, because some people really don't like black cats, and also leaving cats in the wild is very bad for the environment.

PSA please chip your pets, even if they're indoor pets!

Out of interest, how do you know they have no chip if you've not yet been to the vet?

Good for you for checking that, I know a lot of people don't - there are potentially some very worried people out there looking

I brought her to an adoption center up the road and they were able to tell me she had no chip. They also gave me some supplies since I didn't have anything - they've been really great.

Oh great! Best of luck

Glad she's safe, warm, and fed, and you're getting her vet-checked. There may be foster agencies in your area that can help you continue to keep her out of a shelter until her owners are found or she's adopted.

I am seriously considering adopting her if I can't find her owners. I'm very much a cat person, but I've never been responsible for one as an adult.

Check the ear for a tattoo. In my country they tattoo inside the ear when they get spayed

Here they usually clip the eartip if it's an outdoor or feral cat. No clipped tips, though to be fair I haven't really looked inside her ears yet.

Vet visit scheduled for Tuesday. The online booking form asked for her name and I said I don't know.
