Dupage Animal Control

What to do if you find a stray cat.

1. Carefully look for an ID tag and contact the owner.
2. Ask neighbors if they know the cat's owner.
3. Have the cat checked for an implanted microchip that can identify it's owner.  Local vets, shelters and the Dupage Animal Control can scan for this chip.
4. If you are sure the cat is a true stray, consider adopting the cat yourself.  Make sure you get a proper medical checkup for the cat's good health.
5. If you can not find the owner, and can not keep the cat, try to find a no-kill shelter that is currently accepting strays.  DO NOT just drop the animal off at their door and leave.
6. Contact the local police for the stray holding facility in your community.  In Bensenville, contact the police at 630-766-2131.  The Bensenville Animal Hospital is the stray holding facility for Bensenville.
7. Call the Dupage Animal Control.  They provide the largest lost & found service in the county as well as an excellent adoption service..
