These adorable kittens are available for adoption through Bedford Humane Society. And while they're antics are entertaining, they bring up an important topic in this week's episode of "The Cattyshack."
Do you know what to do if your pet goes missing? What if a dog or cat shows up at your home?
BHS has a Lost & Found Facebook page dedicated to reuniting lost pets with their owners (www.facebook.com/bhsvalostandfound). Be sure to like our page. If you're not on Facebook, you can file a report online through our website (www.bhsva.org/lfhome.htm). You may be the key to getting someone's baby back home to them.
Here are just a few tips to ensuring that your baby gets home to you if they happen to get lost:
- Make sure you have a current photo of your pet that you can share if they go missing.
- Make sure your pet has a collar and tags with your contact information
- Microchipping your pet (and keeping your contact information current) helps to ensure they will make it back home to you if they end up at the pound
- Don't rely on the microchip to guarantee that, though. Sometimes microchips are missed or do not register with the pound's scanner
- Call area pounds and file a lost report
- Visit the area pounds to look for your pet yourself and do so weekly - sometimes people find a lost animal and wait for weeks before taking them to the pound
- File a report with us via our Lost & Found Facebook page (www.facebook.com/bhsvalostandfound)
- Post fliers around the area your pet went missing
As for these adorable adoptables - they're waiting patiently in foster care to be adopted. Email sunshine@bhsva.org or call 540-586-6100 today to find out how to meet them.
