Important notes regarding “I’ve found your cat” phone calls:
(1) Take Sensible Precautions: If someone calls saying they have found your cat, please do not go to see the cat on your own, particularly if you are under 18 years of age. Take an adult friend with you - and a cat carrier of course!
(2) Beware of Hoaxes and Scams: Be on your guard if you are asked to part with money for the return of your cat. Even if you are happy to offer a reward, NEVER hand over money until the cat is safely in your hands. (One scam reported to us even involved the request to arrange a money transfer, don’t be caught out!)
Please can people crosspost to other forums.
Thank you.

from my experience with petseach it's usually along the lines of i've just done something terribly painful to it and thrown the body away.
i'd always advise against putting your own details but ask a rescue to put their contact details down so that as a worried owner you don't have to hear this.
