Serious question if it has no collar and nothing on it to indicate it is owned, how is it theft?
Tattoo in the ear or chip under the skin that can be read by any veterinarian.
That's where i'd head, if a cat that would linger several days in an area, with signs of sickness, dehydration or malnourishment. But this one was super fluffy and clean, it didn't cross my mind a single second it would be stray.
But like i say, different countries, different rules. In Australia it would be caught immediately because of local laws.
What do the tattoos look like? Is it like a serial number like the chips have?
