Stray Cats Hunker Down in Perry Hall Backyard Hangout

Several strays have been stopping by this Patch Reader's backyard.

Here's what she had to say on our Perry Hall Patch Facebook page:

"Several cats have been hanging out in my yard this week. I am located between Perry Hall Middle and High School. Please contact me if you recognize any of these cats. They will be relocated to a rescue this weekend. Call/text 443-600-9062."

We know how much you love your Patch Pet, even his mischievous side. On those days that he feels especially rascally, he can sometimes get into trouble.

Whether a snowstorm builds the perfect escape ramp over the fence in your backyard, or your pup gives you the slip through a loose leash, Patch Pets are constantly getting themselves lost.

Don’t worry! They’re getting themselves found, too.

The American Pet Products Association estimates that Americans own 70 to 80 million dogs and 74 to 96 million cats. That’s a lot of furry friends to keep track off.

And according to the ASPCA, about 649,000 animals who are brought to shelters as strays are returned to their owners each year. We can help raise that number by ensuring our Patch Pets make it home safe.

Cat run out the backdoor? Find someone’s Fido on your morning run? Let us know about your lost or found pet on our Perry Hall Facebook page or by emailing our local pet detective at abby.tang@patch.com.
