What to do?

The first hours matter most. Don't panic, go step by step.

My pet is missing

  1. Post right away: 1-4 clear photos, the place and time it was last seen.
  2. Walk the area calmly, calling its name. Cats usually hide within 500 metres.
  3. Leave something with its smell and some water by your door.
  4. Print the A4 poster from the post page and put it up at vets, shops and residence boards.
  5. Call nearby vets and the municipal shelter, send them the photo.
  6. Follow messages through your private link and check reported places one by one.

I found an animal

  1. Keep it somewhere safe and give it water. Approach unknown animals slowly.
  2. Check the collar and tag, there may be a phone number.
  3. Take it to the nearest vet to scan for a microchip.
  4. Post a found listing and keep one identifying detail private. The real owner will know it.
  5. Don't take it far away. The owner is most likely searching nearby.

Beware of scams

  1. Never send money to someone who says "I found it, pay the reward or transport first".
  2. Ask the finder for a photo or video taken right now.
  3. Ask about a detail you left out of the post. A real finder knows it.
  4. Meet in daylight, in a busy place, and bring someone with you.
  5. Pay any reward only once your pet is in your hands.
