What to record
Neighbourhood, street, building, park or landmark.
When and where the cat was found or first noticed.
Coat pattern, colour, eye colour, sex, size and visible marks.
Clear face, ears and coat-pattern photos when safe.
Keep the cat calm and safe
Cats may hide or become stressed in unfamiliar surroundings. Give the cat a quiet, secure space if you can safely do so, and seek veterinary or rescue help when appropriate.
Verify the claimant
Keep one or two distinctive identifiers private. Ask a claimant for older photos or matching information before handover, and use a safe meeting arrangement.
Privacy and sharing
Share the report link and clear photo without unnecessary personal information. Update the report when the cat is reunited or moved to a safer location.
FAQs
Why keep an identifier private?

Can I search by photo?

What if the cat is hiding nearby?
