If your cat is microchipped and goes missing, please let Petlog know and also make sure that Petlog have your correct contact details so that you can be contacted if your cat turns up somewhere and is scanned

Make a list somewhere (pen+paper, bookmarks on web browser, word document) of the places and groups that you have posted about your cat.
This will be useful for when your cat is home safe.

Other things to do

- Need to add how to contact correct department at council to see if cats have been picked up
- Need to add that microchip company should be informed and contact details double checked in case cat found and scanned
- Put posters in your local newsagents if possible
- Put a poster in your own window that people walking post your house can see
