[QUOTE="amanda, post: 2596249, member: 209023"] If an owner does not collar their cat then they take the risk of someone swiping it, even if it's micro chipped they don't always check for them, and microchips wander around the body over time. I used to work at a shelter and you'd be amazed at how many chips were in legs instead of their napes. If she has fleas or mites and you pick her up you risk transferring the parasites. If I were you I would take her to a vet and ask them to check for a chip, most places will just do a quick scan without charging you. If she doesn't have a chip, put a cheap collar and tag on her. If no one calls you to complain or say it's their cat, then congrats you have a new pet. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
