My wife and MIL found this cat during a hike in the woods near Alpnach Dorf yesterday (01.09.24) and took it to the emergency vet since it seemed lost and was panting constantly.

According to the vet it is male and about 6 months old. It was dehydrated and exhausted but otherwise healthy.

The vet will keep it for a few days for observation and some tests and then we will take him home with us on a temporary basis.

Please contact me on Reddit if you know somebody who might be missing the little guy.

    Just in case you haven‘t done so already: You can register the cat on stmz.ch with the date and location it was found – hope little buddy is gonna be ok and returned to his family soon! Thanks for rescuing him!

    6 months old and no chip? OP, surely thats just the cat distribution system at work, you’ve been chosen.

    Honest question: how do you “find” a cat?

    I’m not a pet person so I seriously wonder, if I were to see a cat at a random place outside, in the forest, in a field or similar, it would never occur to me that this could be a missing cat. I’d maybe think “Oh, a cat” and do some “pss pss” and go on my merry way.
