Good morning,
We had a deceased female calico cat brought to us this morning. Due to the condition of the body, we believe she had passed away this morning or last night. She was found by three bears barn. Unfortunately, we were unable to locate a microchip. We will be keeping her here for a period of time in case an owner is looking for her. If you believe this may be your cat, please contact us at 802-633-3660.
