What if I find a cat that is hurt?

If the cat allows you to approach it, you can visually assess if you think it needs to be seen by a veterinarian. If you believe the animal needs immediate assistance you may:

  1. Call Great Falls Police Departments Animal Control at 406-727-7688 and press option 1 for dispatch. They will assess the situation and, if needed, will have Animal Control Officers contact you.
  2. If you are able to safely contain the animal, you may take it to the vet at your own expense. Please use caution and discretion when handling an unfamiliar animal with unknown health and vaccination history.

If it is not in need of immediate assistance, follow the Feral, Stray, Pet Flow Chart to decide your next steps.
