We can't imagine how desperate one must be to find a lost cat. We wouldn't be able to sleep. We would make flyers, walk around with their furvorite treats and call out their name for hours, and if we could, employ the use of our friends and family to make a search party at night. It sounds like one of the most pawsitively stressful things you could go through as a cat owner. So, when you see a post of a found cat that looks like your lost cat, you might be tempted to jump at the chance without looking too closely at the details. That's what we'd like to think, anyway.
But there are some dubious people out there, and for whatever reason, some people like to scam others, take lost cats, and claim them as their own. The cat rescuer below might be going through just that - after finding a lost kitty and posting about it, the "owners" try to claim her, but he sees that the fur, eyes, and even microchip don't match up. He took the cat to two different vets, and not one of them found said microchip, even though the "owners" claim that she 100% has one. There are other inconsistencies below, but could the cat have changed a bit while it was lost? Maybe the microchip moved? Find out more by scrolling down!
