Roughly 1,500 of those come to us as a stray. This is a staggering problem that we face every day and the most simple and effective way to prevent it is by having your cat wear a collar and identification tag. There are many cat collars out on the market. We recommend collars that are stretchy and durable or made from nylon with a break away clasp. If you do not have success with one type, try another.
Many people say their cat doesn t like to wear a collar.
We encourage owners to try again and again until the cat becomes accustomed to it. Start with the cat wearing the collar for a short time while you are at home. Then, increase the time as the cat becomes more comfortable with it. The collar should be fitted snuggly, but not too tight. Make sure you can fit one finger under the collar with ease.
