Well, I made a collar this morning - out of an OLD but stretchy bra strap in my sewing basket(doesn't look like one, though!). Oscar was the model for proper length, and was very good about it.

I taped a small bit of notepaper around it, with a note and my phone number(no name), and when I went outside this morning, another neighbour was there with her! He calls her Rosie - and he and his partner and the kids love her - she goes into their place all the time, but doesn't eat. So we think she has a home.

I hope the people call - if they refuse to take "Rosie" to the vet, I will offer to and cover the cost. They might be loving but poor. Depending on their attitude, they might NOT get her back!

Rosie was fine with the collar, and trotted off in the direction I think she lives.

If she is still wearing it in two days, well, I guess that's the answer.

Thanks for all the suggestions earlier.
