https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/16439/stray-cat-dilemma-what-would-you-do Hi everyone! Looking for a bit of guidance or moral support before I send myself even more doolally! We had a client bring a &quot;stray&quot; cat to the clinic earlier in the week. Checked for chip but none present. Bit of a raggy looking dude but greaten-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/126244?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 27 Jan 2012 23:36:37 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:de339fa8-1839-4993-91e8-709b768e6754BengalcatRVN<p>&#39;fraid he belongs to someone, your client may have handed him in, but he isn&#39;t theirs. You don&#39;t have to give out the finder&#39;s details at all, and maybe you could offer some guidence to the client with regards to pet care. You could say to the finder that data protection works 2 ways and unfortunatly you can&#39;t say much about her &quot;stray&quot;.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/126236?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:36:45 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:75f35a1b-27c9-4e49-9a63-88ade8a9f22eJulie-Anne Wilson<p>You could maybe contact the owners to let them know you think their cat had been brought in to the surgery but you legally can&#39;t give her any details. &nbsp;She might at least be happy to hear he&#39;s still alive and just work a bit harder to find him.</p> <p>I know I&#39;d at least be happy to hear my pet wasn&#39;t lying dead on a road somewhere.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
