If you have lost a pet cat or dog the quickest and most effective way to recover it is to take prompt action.
These actions include, but may not be limited, to the following:-
- Leaflet ALL the houses around the block.
- Do NOT rely on the odd poster fixed to a tree or lamp post.
- The leaflet should, if possible, include a photograph, a full description of your pet, i.e. age, sex, whether neutered, colour of collar if worn, and if it has been microchipped.
- It should also ask residents to check garages and out buildings in case it has accidentally been locked in. If you get no response, continue leafleting in ever increasing circles.
- Check and register your loss with;
- Local vets
- Local Authority Animal Wardens
- Local animal welfare and rescue organisations
- To register your lost pet with CAS and place a notice on these pages email enquiries@croydonanimalsamaritans.co.uk
If you have registered a lost pet with us please advise us of any developments. Lost pet notices will be removed from these pages if we have not heard from you for six months.
