Helpful Hints for Lost and Found Animals...

• Lost and Found Register - list the animal on our lost and found database by phone or by emailing Waikato SPCA with details and photo of animal, also PLEASE let us know if your animal has been found.
• The SPCA has a LOST AND FOUND notice board...bring in a photo and description of the pet.
• Come in and view the animals that we have here at least once a week until found.
• Check our web page - www.waikato.spca.net.nz and keep checking it as it is updated regularly.
• Advertise in the 'The Waikato Times' and get a free advert in 'Hamilton Press'.
• Make a flyer with the animal details (eg. colour, age, unusual markings or habits) and do a letter - box drop. Also place flyer at supermarkets, dairies, vets etc. Alternately you can download a cat flyer, dog flyer or other pet flyer to print and fill out.
• Ask neighbours to look in garages, sheds, under bushes and houses, these are very common places where cats are found. Go more than 3 houses away from your place. Ask local schools, businesses, churches, shops etc to look out for your pet.
