1. Notify your local shelter (see numbers above).
2. Notify your neighbors.
In flyers and newspaper notices, it is generally recommended to withhold an identifying piece of information to ensure that any person reclaiming the animal is the true owner. Some people who call may not have good intentions.

If you are unable to make provisions for the safety of the animal, take the animal to your local shelter. Domestic animals are not equipped to survive on their own.
