That same day I got a call from the local Humane Society asking if I was the  landlord for the address, and that the woman had been in there to adopt a cat and listed me as landlord.

Check with the local humane society or pet license agency.  

I was very concerned originally that we'd have guest who weren't happy with our busy urban neighborhood.
