Decide what help the cat needs right now

  • Observe from a safe distance before assuming every outdoor cat is lost.
  • If the cat is injured, trapped, very young, or in immediate danger, contact an appropriate local service promptly.
  • Note the exact place, time, coat pattern, collar, and behavior without publishing every identifying detail.
  • If temporary containment is safe, separate the cat from children and other animals.

Check current local identification and intake options

Use the official Fort Worth or county government website to confirm the service covering the found location. Call a shelter or veterinary clinic before visiting to verify current microchip-scanning or intake arrangements. Avoid naming an organization, phone number, or opening time unless its official source has just been checked.

Avoid unsafe assumptions about an outdoor cat

  • Do not relocate a healthy cat merely because it is outdoors.
  • Do not publish every identifying detail needed to verify a claimant.
  • Do not promise that a clinic or shelter is open or accepting animals without checking.
  • Do not place an unfamiliar cat directly with household pets.
