Take it to a vet on the 27th to be scanned for a microchip, they won't charge you for it.

Then ring round local vets and rescue centres with a rough description to see if it matches anyone's lost pet.

So sad, someone's cat didn't come home Sad

It's pretty cold so it should be alright.

Poor cat, and poor owner if there is one. I hope it wasn't a child's pet, they'll be devastated on xmas Sad

Oh that's a shame furlined. But at least the poor thing will get cremated and a decent end.

It's so good that you did it Kepek. Lots wouldn't. And when her grief is less raw she will be forever grateful.
