Finding Lost Outdoor Cats - Rescuer Behavior

The biggest thing to know about rescuers is that they are not looking for you. Rescuers typically assume that cats they find are "abandoned." People rarely check to see if a cat is missing or wanted before looking to place it in a new situation.

Microchipping is so important. I've even heard stories of cats reunited only after someone took the cat to a vet for a physical where the vet scanned it, detected a chip, and called HomeAgain.
