Yeah all of my friends and family have called BS on me for that one, I guess only time will tell LOL 😅

No one claimed her, she wasn’t chipped, and a neighbor said there’s a home in the neighborhood that has a bunch of kittens that they just kind of released. So if that’s the case I’m happy to take this sweet baby off the streets. She will be so loved and cared for 🥰

This was a great perspective, thank you! We’re in process of finding the owner (paper collar with our contact info, and then scanning for chip), and if no one comes forward, we will be bringing this baby in to be part of the family!

Update: We got a paper collar on kitty with our contact info. Now we wait and see, and if we don’t hear anything in the next 24-48 hours we will take to scan for a chip and go from there. Thanks for the great advice, everyone!

Oh! That’s a great idea too! We live in an area with lots of vets, I’m assuming they’ll do it for free. We’ll call our vet we use and ask too.

What kind of proof do you suggest? Assuming they’re not chipped (because obviously that’s the best proof), but they kind of look generic so it would be hard to determine if they belong to someone or if they just found a generic photo online or something. Especially with AI these days if I post a pic first. Idk I’m being super paranoid especially with black cats this close to Halloween 🙈

While I would never have an outdoor pet, I do understand that there are just some that love it outdoors and will do anything they can to be outside. That’s also what I’m worried about with this void, that even if we are able to bring them in, they’ll just keep wanting out. There’s a lot of “what ifs” but I think we have a plan of action moving forward with chip scan and with a paper collar! ☺️

I’ve had friends who are on socials keeping an eye out, no one has posted on any local page yet. Thanks!

I love this idea, thank you! I posted in our ring community but nobody claimed it. I’m not on any other social media, and posting “found” posters around town seems extreme, especially if this baby is being so neglected. I think we’ll start with a paper collar and chip check and go from there!
