    Gatto randagio


    Questo piccolo si è presentato alla nostra porta un paio di giorni fa. Sembra che sia ancora giovane e decisamente dipendente dall’uomo.

    Abbiamo pubblicato nella nostra chat di quartiere ma nessuno sembra riconoscerlo. Abbiamo anche contattato la polizia e nessuno ha ancora presentato una richiesta per il gatto scomparso (hanno annotato i nostri dettagli nel caso qualcuno chiamasse).

    Davvero non sono sicuro di cosa fare dopo, ma il gatto è sempre qui ed è estremamente affettuoso. Fuori fa freddo e loro cercano riparo e cercheranno di seguirci fino alla porta di casa e di infilarci dentro la testa quando entriamo.

    Per pura coincidenza quest’anno avevamo promesso un gatto alle nostre figlie. Non voglio semplicemente accogliere il gatto di qualcuno, ma non sono nemmeno sicuro di quale sarebbe il prossimo passo per adottare questo randagio. Mi sento solo male perché probabilmente fa abbastanza freddo a causa del tempo. C’è qualcosa come un rifugio per animali con cui dovrei cercare di mettermi in contatto?

      You should take her to a vet and let them check if she is chipped. If not, congratulations to your new family member;D

      If you want to be sure bring it to a vet to let them check for a chip. If it has and you get a chip ID, I would first check Tasso for the ID and if that doesn’t help some of the smaller registires.

      If it has no chip, or if the chip ID leads to nothing, congrats you have a new cat (also, get it chipped and registered please).

      A visit to a vet is necessary to see if she is chippes and neutered (!), and you can also send the info to „Tasso“. Apart from that, congrats to the new pet 🙂

      Yes, there are animal shelters but you didn’t state where you live. But you should be able to Google that.

      Also some cats have a Chip to identify them. You should be able to take it to pretty much any vet and they will scan it for free, if you explain the situation.

      Does the cat have tattoos inside its ears? Has it been checked for a chip? A vet can help with that.

      [Tasso](https://www.tasso.net/) is the organisation that handles lost and found pets, if the cat has been reported missing, and the owner has registered it in Tassos database, it would show up there.

      I think going to an animal shelter (Tierheim) is the right thing to do. You could also go to a vet since they both should have a device to check if the cat is chipped and belongs to someone.

      I don’t know exactly how to adopt a stray cat but if you do, the vet could also do a checkup if she is okay

      The village where I live has a Facebook group, when someone finds a cat, they ask this one person that rescues for their assistance. They have a chip reader. Depending on where you are, there might be someone that can help (in case you are not able to take the cat to a vet).

      Afik the “normal” process is to bring the cat to the shelter and if nobody claims them, then you could adopt them. However, I’ve also heard shelter being pretty picky with the people adopting and rejecting for the most stupid reasons. So, it might not be as easy as just a waiting period and then adopting.

      As addition to other comments: Strays are very rare in Germany. If it looks healthy and neat chances are high that it belongs to somebody.
      Cats who are allowed to go outside often have more than one family. 😉

      This is the cat distribution system at work, right here.
      Let them in, take them to a vet and have them checked for a chip. If negative, congratulations. This is how you got a cat.

      Check the Tierschutzgesetz.

      From my knowledge you are obligated to bring the kitty to your local animal shelter.

      They will arrange the vet visit, read any chip and check missing cat ads.

      If nobody claims the kitty, she will be put up for adoption and you can adopt her.

      Did you inform the Tierheim/ Katzenschutzbund?if its a stray Catcher, nobody misses her.

      Take the cat to the vet, give her the vaccination and antiparasite meds. Case closed.
