Cats Protection, Preston Branch - LOST CATS

Lost cats are a sad fact of life. Keeping a register of local lost and found cats has been an integral part of CP Preston Branch's work for over nine years. Jean, our voluntary Lost and Found Officer, regularly provides lists of lost cats to this website. She also keeps a comprehensive database of both lost and found cats. If you have lost or found a cat, email us, or ring Jean on 01772 768252.

Due to limited resources, we can't put pictures of missing cats on this page, but will gladly link to another web page if you have a picture of your missing cat there.

Many of us have suffered those days of anxiety and frantic searching when a pet goes missing, and that awful feeling when absolutely no trace of them can be found even weeks later. It is such a relief when they walk back in the door or someone finds them for us. This is why we are asking you for any help with sightings of cats which have appeared in the area which don't appear to belong to anyone. We might just be able to match them up with a distraught owner. Here are just a few cats which are on the lost register at the moment.

The following cats are missing. This is not a complete list of cats on our database.

If your cat goes missing, tell as many people as possible as soon as possible. Talk to local shopkeepers, the newspaper girl or boy, the postman, the milkman, the window cleaner - anyone who talks to a lot of different people. Let the local children know that you are looking for your cat. Offer a small reward. Make up leaflets with your cat's details, and the date that she went missing, and post them through neighbours' letter boxes - ask them to check sheds, garages and other outhouses. Also ask anyone who has had recent building work done to make sure the cat hasn't been trapped under floorboards etc! Put up posters in shops, and advertise in the local papers and on local radio. Radio Lancashire's Action Line is very good for this. Tell US! Ring Jean on 01772 768252 - but please don't ring us on the first night that your cat is missing - most cats come back within 24 hours, and nothing will be gained by notifying us immediately - it would be extremely unlikely that anyone would have reported it as 'found' in such a short period of time. Notify all the vets in your town AND in surrounding areas - people in cars who see a wounded cat are more likely to take it to their own vet than to the nearest one. If you find your cat, please remember to let us know.

There is more information about searching for your lost cat on the www.chapelhouse-persians.co.uk website. This is an external site. Many thanks to Cheryl-Anne for bringing it to our attention.

If you find a cat, make sure that it is a stray, and unless it is obviously starving (i.e. ribs showing), don't feed it the first time you see it. It may have a home to go back to, and you don't want to tempt a scrounging cat away from a perfectly good home. Again, talk to neighbours, children and local tradespeople about the cat. Notify Jean (number above) and be ready to give as full a description as possible. Don't forget to ring her back if the cat is reunited with its owner.
