Sorry for the blurry shot. We spotted this sweet white calico wandering around in the courtyard of our building this afternoon; apparently she’s been hanging out there for at least a day, if not more. She was clean and very social, and was wearing an obviously homemade beaded collar, but no ID tag. We fed her and then brought her down the the local shelter, where we discovered she was not microchipped. She’s at the Peninsula SPCA for a 4-day stray hold, and we’re hoping her owners will find her there.
Even if her family doesn’t find her, I’m quite sure she’ll get adpoted, because she’s young, cute, and social. But her original family may never see her again, and some poor kid, who made this kitty’s collar, is going to wonder where kitty went and never know for sure what happened to her.
PUT ID ON YOUR PETS DAMNIT PEOPLE!
