Found Boucherville

I found a cat at my mother’s house. It’s a big cat with black paws and  white on part of his muzzle and beautiful green eyes. It has a collar with spikes and a little scratchy meow. When he opens his mouth, he has black lines on his fur on each side of his lips. In short, it is a big handsome cat, a little rock n ‘roll!

Found Oct 21

A small, collar-less cat bolted into our apartment in the midst of that miserable wintery mix late Thursday night. We took him to the vet to see if he was micro chipped, but no luck there, so we’re trying everything we can think of to get this little guy back to his family. He’s very friendly and must have been well-loved.

I’m hoping to provide a good tool for reuniting lost and found pets with their owners. Send the information on the pet you’ve lost or found to petluckblog[at] gmail[dot] com, with a picture (jpeg) if possible and any details, and I’ll publish it for you here. I’ll need, of course, the closest address to place it on the map. (If possible, a postal code works really well!)

I also wanted to provide information on useful links where you might also think about listing. As well as putting up posters and checking shelters there are many places to list and not everyone’s familiar with them all. Please feel free to send me any useful links that I might miss. You’ll find them on the tips and links page. I’m hoping that the site will stay as up to date as possible, and that even when you’re posters are down and listings dropped down further on the classifieds sites, your pet will stay on the map till you’re hopefully reunited.

The only thing I ask in return for this service is that you keep me informed if you find your pet, or if you found the home of the animal you took in. It’s important that the blog be as up to date as possible, for it to be most effective. And besides, I’d love to know how things turned out, as would many of my readers!

IMPORTANT : On the links page I have included those to city shelters. The Montreal SPCA has a blog where they post their strays, including pets being held by the people who found them. A.M.R. also has a page for their strays. Berger Blanc, unfortunately, does not publish their strays, and the user submitted lost and found page is closed at the moment. In any case, it’s very important to physically go and check the shelters. Animals are often only kept for 3-5 days depending on their age, condition, and time of year, and if unclaimed they are then either euthanized or put up for adoption. For various reasons your pet might not end up at the shelter serving your area, so check all. It’s not enough to call them. Even if your pet has tags, this doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be notified. It’s best to act as though your pet didn’t have any identification when conducting your search. Also take note, Berger Blanc does not have a microchip scanner. And please realize it could be many months before your pet shows up !
