Amelia is a large cat, around 20lbs. Markings are tawny/grey undercoat with black spots and stripes (mackerel) tabby from her head to the majority of her body. While white fur marks her forehead, neck, chest and paws halfway up her legs. She has a distinctive caramel color triangle surrounding her nose and mouth area.

Message from Owner

If you live around the Andrew Store Rd, Parker Herndon Rd, Morris Rd, Hamlet Chapel rd, Manns Chapel Rd area, Please keep a lookout for Amelia, who is a rather chonky indoor-only cat. She got out and dashed into the wooded lot behind our hse on the 900 block of Parker Herndon Road. She is friendly but does not like to be picked up. She may be skittish now that she is survival mode, but hopefully is food motivated enough to be lured to a safe and secure enclosure. My husband and I are absolutely heartbroken and are trying to keep positive that she'll come home.

Please read till the end..Walk around calling your cat as you always do. Look under bushes and in hiding places. Look at dawn and dusk with a flashlight to catch the glare of your cat's eyes. Leave garage door and lanai partially open if possible. Your cat will try to get back inside ..most likely at night. Use a trap...The only way to find his way home.or to the trap is by smell. Use some of your used clothes, put them outside and around the trap. A friend of mine used her shirt and dragged it through the neighborhood. Her cat found the smell and followed it home. It is all about the smell. You can also cut a shirt of yours into small small pieces and leave a scent trail back to the trap. I read a few days ago that a lady put out a trace with the old litter throughout the neighborhood. It worked. Her cat came home! Use the litter to lead your cat to the trap. Also try to distribute flyers throughout that neighborhood...as many as you can ( 3 miles radius at least). Check shelters in person...don't just call. Put battery operated trail cameras or motion cameras (Amazon for $25) outside. Your cat might show up in the middle of the night. When you know the time you can wait for for your cat and slow blink to make contact. NEVER GIVE UP! I read once that you can put a chair outside and cover it up with a blanket and the cat can jump up and hide under the blanket and feels safe. They said you should put one of your shirts under the blanket and food and water next to the chair. It might be worth a try to put up a chair
