Description

Small black and white tuxedo cat. All 4 paws are white. Shes only 5 pounds but she’s 13 years old. She coughs and sneezes a lot due to chronic congestion. But she is healthy. She’s an indoor only cat but somehow got out.

Message from Owner

I adopted mittens 3 years ago. As an older cat with some chronic issues, she was unlikely to get adopted, but I fell in love with her. She initially needed several medical procedures, but has been healthy and thriving lately. She’s been indoors only since I’ve had her. My kids and I miss her terribly.

If u did not wiTness him/her leaving ur house, do a GriD search of eVeRy inch/space. We had 1 cat slip into the garage and hide iNsiDe a bookcase completely blocked by other furniture,for 2 days. Another who got inside a moving box full of clothes, and napped for hours while we frantically searched. Neither responded when called.

Also, sit outside several times each day and have a calm, casual conversation, mentioning kitty's name now and then. Even if u have to talk to yourself.

Since he/she's an indoor kitty, he/she's likely very nearby, within a 7 house radius, hiding in fear. One of the most effective tips I see posted is- Take treats and a flashlight out when it's dawn/dusk/ night. Walk slowly, shine light under bushes and other areas, like decks and crawl spaces, and up into trees. Pause, shake treats, calmly call his/her name. Listen for rustling sounds or replies. Take a few more steps, repeat. OnlY do this within your own yard, so you don't accidentally encourage your cat to leave the immediate area. Many cats will not reply even to owners when lost. Important to keep ur voice calm and gentle, even though ur stressed and panicked. Post on NextDoor. Notify mail carrier that ur looking for him/her. Notify neighbors so they know he/she's not a stray if they see him/her. Look at neighbors doorbell cams for sightings. ****Indoor cats will often try to get back inside, but can't find a way in.**** If safe, leave a door or window cracked, with smelly cat food and/or your worn clothing nearby. If not safe to leave door open, make sure u still leave water out for him/her. Food, too, if u can keep an eye on it to make sure dominant strays don't get to it and consequently keep him/her away. Hope kitty's home soon!

The effectiveness of signs posted quickly all around the area can not be overstated. Reaches those not on social media and lets neighbors know he/she's not a stray.
