Aww he looks like he is settling in nicely!

Obviously you want to find his owners, have you checked the missing pet register? Or twitter?

Would also be helpful if you post here which street or area you live, in case anyone sees any missing cat posters.

Hi both: I have been on really long shifts on anti social hours so I haven't managed to take him to the vet yet to check for the chip but I am arranging posters and my neighbour's kid is helping out.
As per encouraging him in... He literally climbed in from the fence into our first floor the other day. If I leave the window open he comes in.. I leave food out for my cat if I am at .it home and I don't mind other cats eating it - mine does the same at other places. But he looks young and wants cuddles all the time. Had to give up and let him sleep in with my cat as he was crying like crazy the other night...
Unfortunately with work so manic I haven't had the time for a vet check and my flatmate is just moaning about him but not helping. If he is still here by wednesday when I am off I will take him to the vet for sure.

Know the feeling Alessia. Our cat walked into the kitchen 18 years ago and he's still here!

Exactly what we do in my family. But my flatmate grew up without pets so doesn't understand

Well done Alessia for helping the cat and for making the effort when you're busy.

I've mentioned to Stokey Cats and Dogs as they publicise lost and found pets and there are useful tips on their website such as note on collar.
You can list a lost or found pet on Animal Search and it's free to do that. If you can, try to take a close up photo of the cat's face.
Hope owner is found, what a lovely cat. If the cat isn't chipped, if anyone claims the cat, make sure they have proof of ownership first.

I'm sure you know all this anyway, but if a cat has been found that isn't neutered, it's vital to keep the cat inside until he has been neutered, otherwise it leads to more homeless cats being born and also fighting. Free Cat Neutering
If foster care or help needed for a cat, contact Stokey Cats and Dogs and their email is stokeycatsndogs@gmail.com

(For any cat owners out there, Animal Rescue charities advise that it is vital that pets are microchipped and neutered. Cats enjoy catflap access to a back garden and need catflap access to their home, otherwise they may be stuck outside for hours with no access to food, water or their cosy bed. It's best to lock the catflap at night so that cats are safe inside at night as it reduces the risk of them getting lost or injured. Remember not to let them out the front door by mistake).

Thank you for all these I will contact them tomorrow. Posted on the registry and will do also on that site. He is adorable and my wolverine (previously abandoned) likes him too
