Please help us find Thomas! He’s been very sick lately as he has FIV and was recently diagnosed with kidney disease. We love him so much and need him to come home so we can monitor his health.

Be proactive. Cats that escape from indoors will most likely stay close by. They will go into hiding but come out at nighttime. Go out when it’s dark, or early morning around 5 am , use a flashlight and call out by name, look in bushes, under cars etc. Talk to your neighbors and get the flyers out , they are really helpful for those who won’t see your posts on the internet. Put out some clothing to attract the cat’s smell, if possible set up a Wi-Fi camera to monitor and if the cat comes- set a trap. The cat will try to find a food source so try setting up a food station and monitor. Report to your local police and if the cat is microchipped, make sure the info is up to date. I would also email or call shelters in case animal control picks it up. Check their websites daily as new cats come in all the time.

Try Going out late at night ie midnight and again early am ie 5 or 6 am with their smelly food and treats at location lost and/or at home. Shake treat bag and call out their name. Take a flashlight and check under porches and bushes. Also if you can leave a basement window and garage door open so they can get in. Do for multiple days if needed. Good luck. Kitties don’t usually go far from home

He's beautiful. 🧡 He is probably very close to home, just scared & hiding. Look in the early morning hours and late at night when it is quiet outside. If chipped, notify the microchip company.

Please fill out the lost forms at lostmykitty. com, pawboost. com, petfbi .com, petfinder. com. All rescues/shelters/pd/vets/lost and found groups use those sites. Thousands will see the post. I've also noticed a lot more pet posts on the Ne ighbo rs, N extDo or and Ring apps as well as Cra igsl ist. When you check Cr aig slis t, check not only the lost and found section, but the for sale sections as well. Make it a point to share the lost flyer with every vet you can, near and far....you never know if someone picked up kitty and brought them to where they live....i.e. next town over, so keep that in mind. Also post at any business that will let you. Look to join local fb groups and ask to share the post from Helping Lost Pets when it's available....Not just the lost pets local groups, the ones that are watches, news, etc. Make sure to post on the "Pet Alert" page.... Additionally, put kitty's litterbox outside, cats can smell their litterbox up to a mile away. If you have any dirty laundry, put as much as you can outside your house...sprinkle it around your property. Keep your garage or porch doors open a couple inches to allow the cat to get to a safe space. Cats usually travel 1 square block per week, so kitty is probably close. Try sitting outside and talking in a normal, quieter voice....like if you were on the phone. Cats get very skittish if they sense fear or irritation in a voice. Try luring the cat out of hiding with a laser pointer, if you have one. Talk to every neighbor in a 2 block radius and ask them to check their garages, sheds and window wells. Ask some local kids to help you find or let you know if they see kitty. Finally, listen for neighborhood dogs barking for seemingly no reason...they could be barking at a hiding cat.... Best of luck and don't give up hope. ALSO: There are no legitimate pet trackers on Ins tag ram, Wh atsA pp, gm ail or via text. They are all scammers....

I would highly recommend Pet Locator Limited to your animal search company. They are genuinely caring, responsible, and deeply committed to helping animals. I believe their compassion, patience, and dedication would make them a great person to work with. Having experienced how much finding a lost pet means to someone, I’m confident they would bring the same level of care and determination to helping other families reunite with their beloved pets.
