God I hope this is not some sort of wicked scam.

​

My only concern is: "Why no (real) cat picture?"

My guess is so the owner can give an accurate description to make sure no one is trying to claim a cat that’s not theirs!

I thought this too… thought the ad was a great idea so some nut just doesn’t call and take the cat because it looked like a nice cat or something

So the person calling has to describe what the cat looks like as a way of proving it’s their lost cat.

Whoever posted this should bring the cat into a vet so if it's chipped they can notify the owner. Most cats now have chips.

Does that poster above say “motherhood” is female enslavement

Well it's about abortion rights, I'm going to guess above motherhood its "forced" or something otherwise yeah that is a wild claim.

Lol based, I like the spicy take. It draws your attention, I don’t even care about the clip art cat (that’s definitely a scam) when there’s talk of female enslavement on the table. Great poster

Really should say something specific about cat. Very very fishy.

Possibly, but what would the person who posted this have to gain? If someone lost a cat in the area they would be able to give an accurate description and/or picture

Any number of scams. Getting information of some kind or another, if not money.

Tons of ppl lose animals. This would get you a much higher incoming call volume than necessary if your goal really was to have one rightful owner call you.

The normal person would want the fewest amount of unnecessary calls. That’s what sets off alarms for me.

This can be be a scam…. What does the person have to gain from this? Could possibly request money before sending fake information.
