If you need assistance with discount desexing, please contact Cat Protection. If the cat is friendly and you would like to keep them, you still need to make certain that the cat is not lost so ask your local vet to scan the cat for a microchip before having the cat desexed, vaccinated, and microchipped. You will need to pay a fee for this service.
This should be your last option, as these organisations are charities with limited resources and they might not have the staff to assist you. If your council doesn’t have a pick up service, you may need to call an animal welfare agency to see whether they can pick up the cat for you. If you have no transport, ask the council whether they have a pick up service for the pound. Never transport a cat in the boot of your car or leave a cat alone in the car. Remember that when you transport the cat, you will need to have the cat in a secure carrier or box. If you’re not sure where to take the cat, ring your local council and ask for the companion animal officer who should be able to advise you. Call your local pound, shelter, or vet to see whether you can take the cat to them to be scanned for a microchip as the cat might be lost. Put the cat in the bathroom or laundry and give them a bowl of food and water. If the cat is friendly and will let you pick them up, you should try to contain them. You can’t see or feel a microchip, so the cat needs to be scanned to check for this identification. Please be sure to check as thoroughly as possible for the cat’s owner before assuming the cat is unowned. Has anyone new moved into your neighbourhood recently? Cats are particularly vulnerable when they’ve moved house. Even if the cat doesn’t seem friendly, they may still have an owner. Ask around and put up posters check lost & found notices (for example Lost Pet Finders or Lost & Found Pets Inner West Sydney). First and most importantly, you should check the neighourhood for an owner. There are a few options available for you if you have a stray cat in your yard.
