Description

Black Cat with Single White Whisker

Message from Finder

Are you missing a black little kitten? Another cat wondered into my back yard. This time is a small black kitten with a single white whisker. It showed up last week and it was wearing a blue collar with a bell. It was hanging around a gray cat that is much older. I seen less of the gray cat these days. I believe the kitten stays in my backyard all day and all night. Also, the kitten lost its collar and no one has put it back on them. I'm afraid that it could be loss and can't find its way back home. I live on Willow st by the el Cerrito Plaza BART station. Please let me know if this is your kitten and I will take them to you. It is so sweet and playful. I would hate to have something happen to them.

🐱💜Dear kind compassionate neighbor. I ADORE people like you who look out for the often ignored lost/stray roaming kitty. Thank you for helping to save this kitty’s life! ((Cats that haven’t eaten for days and barely eaten for weeks will still ‘APPEAR’ OK - fur is very deceiving and it takes a long time for cats to look malnourished.)) I pray you will continue to provide Wet food and water. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.🐱💜We are often a cat’s last hope after another human failed them. ((place wet food in a bowl - then place that bowl inside larger bowl or on a plate and add water to the outer bowl/pate - in order to prevent ANTS from crossing over and swarming the food)) 🐱 Lost cats REMAIN very near their last residence …Unfortunately many kitty guardians give up WAY TOO SOON on the search assuming kitty is never coming back or deceased (not realizing how close they remain and/or sometimes they're trapped in a garage etc) Kitty could belong to an elderly person who lives alone and doesn't use the internet or know how to find kitty (or can't physically get around well). Or kitty's guardian could have or was hospitalized. And sadly, MANY cats are born in backyards due to guardians who aren’t fixing their own cats that they allow outside. AND MANY sweet cats get ABANDONED (yes happens all the time)….and they need our help 🙏 🐱 MOST (if not all) of the neighbors that live on your block - will NOT see any of these posts on pawboost, nextdoor or facebook. So Informing your neighbors in person is KEY. The neighbors around your block and across the street are exactly who need to be informed via FLYERS and/or knocking on doors and asking. THE BEST THING TO DO To find out if kitty has a guardian: Get kitty into your bathroom where it's safe and contained and Knock on your neighbors doors..someone might know where kitty lives .. Food bowl water bowl, litter box and blanket or ideally a covered carrier can be used as a little hideaway for kitty - or even a cardboard box turned to it’s side and partially covered and blanket/towel inside :) 🐱💜 SCAN KITTY FOR MICROCHIP: Try winning kitty’s trust with food and pets and gently Get kitty safely inside a SECURE cat carrier and get kitty scanned for a microchip at any vet (Free) or shelter (Free) hopefully kitty has a microchip with guardian’s up to date contact information. TIP: Always Cover the cat carrier with a blanket once kitty is inside and during travel it will help calm them. 📌 HOW TO GET A CAT INSIDE A CARRIER (Butt-first) 🐱https://youtu.be/7hk-Mq9nw6U (I made this video to show you how) Place hard open carrier behind the kitty and give kitty treats or food in front of kitty ,gently pull kitty’s shoulders and body BACK toward the opening…very gently! Kitty will pause then walk backwards into the carrier! 👏🏼 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l5eJVen9SC9Zm7D3LCr-CZlsmAnl0_cL/view?usp=sharing

Dear caring neighbor - kitty needs help - Please offer kitty food and water ...get kitty into a carrier and bring to the shelter - a friendly kitten like that will be re-adopted - so many lost and abandoned cats - I made this video to show you how to get a cat into a carrier WITHOUT PICKING the cat up - you guide them in butt first instead of head first and it makes it SO easy...place some treats down , pet kitty then guide them backwards into an open carrier....until you have a carrier please provide food and water ...if not you then who? I place any new rescue cat into my bathroom to foster them and get them fixed if they aren't fixed and get them adopted out (I have alot of resident cats) All you need is a litter box food water and a blanket or use an open carrier with blanket inside as their 'bedroom' hiding place in the bathroom which makes it really easy to take to the shelter - tell the shelter the kitten was abandoned so they will accept the sweet poor kitty - unless you are able to foster this kitty.
