Stray Animals

The Home looks after stray dogs, cats and other small animals brought in by the police and by local authority dog wardens. Please direct your initial enquiries about a missing pet to them first before contacting the home.

All such animals are checked by staff when they arrive and dogs and cats are commenced on a vaccination course and treated with a flea preventative.

To allow owners time to come forward and claim their pets, all strays are kept for seven days before being considered for rehoming. If your pet has been missing for longer than seven days, please check our Rehoming section.

However if you have lost a pet, please firstly contact your local authority Dog Warden, then Cats Protection first before contacting Mrs Murray's.
