I posted yesterday, my foster cat managed to squeeze out of a very small gap.
I later learned from the rescue that he'd done that before in some manner. Had to go to work today, a volunteer managed to successfully trap him and my friend went over to my flat to assist as I'm at work.

Asked my friend if the cat had been taken back to my flat and was told the volunteer had driven the cat back to the rescue, an hour away.

I hadn't been informed of this and I'm unsure if I'll be getting him back. Called but no reply so just sent a text. Apparently they're checking if he's injured which is good, but I'm wondering if they'll just not give him me back.

I felt rubbish enough as it is and now thinking they've just taken the cat back and will not trust me with another one. Does it sound like this?

Is your cat microchipped in your name? Legally this is a requirement and with it they cannot keep your cat. You seem quite blasè about them not giving it back though! I wouldn’t be just saying “fair enough” if it were one of mine they wouldn’t give back!

It’s a foster cat.
