Draper Animal Services serves as a primary resource for residents attempting to locate lost pets. The city's animal shelter houses impounded animals and provides updates on found pets through its online platform.
A domestic short hair tortoise shell cat, described as chocolate/orange and female between 1-3 years of age, was recently found in the area of 300 E 13400 S.
To assist in pet recovery, officials recommend that owners check the city's lost pets page and visit the local animal shelter daily. Draper Animal Services holds all stray animals for a minimum of five business days before they are placed for adoption or released to a rescue group.
When searching for a pet, residents are advised not to call the shelter because owners are considered the best individuals to identify their animals. Owners should also check if the shelter maintains a deceased animal log.
Effective search strategies include creating flyers for neighborhoods, veterinary clinics, and public bulletin boards, as well as sharing photos on social media or lost and found websites. Residents are encouraged to ask neighbors, postal carriers, and delivery persons if they have seen any animals.
If a resident finds an animal, taking it to the local animal shelter increases the chances of reunification with the owner. It is recommended to check with an animal clinic or shelter to see if the found animal has a microchip, which can assist in returning the pet to its owner.
