🐱💖💖🙏 Dear Guardian. DON’T LOSE HOPE. Scared cats are the stealthiest of hiders and those that get STUCK will often not meow so their human must take action in various ways in order to cover ALL possibilities, daily/nightly until kitty is found. Lost cat 'Sophie' was reunited after being lost for 6 weeks! Cats remain close - they do not leave. They HIDE in survival mode doing their best. Sophie's guardian trapped her using a humane trap the night after she was spotted eating wet food on the camera her guardian's had aimed (mini blink camera $30 on amazon) Those who search and FLYER and talk to neighbors and call/search for kitty at night, use a motion activated camera aimed at wet food at sunset etc - greatly increase their chances of finding their kitty - though yes, sometimes it can take much longer than we want. 💜🐱Lost Cat 'Secret' was found after 26 nights - he was around the corner in the ceiling of a worker's room who saw a posted flyer! 🐱💖Lost Cat ‘Clementine’ was finally spotted after 29 days 1.5 yards away! A neighbor we flyered and spoke to 2 weeks earlier spotted kitty in her backyard. We ended up having to use a humane trap to trap her because she remained in survival mode and was too fearful to come forward to her human (2 days later Clementine was back to ‘normal’ purry self). Lost cat ‘Lina’ of 2 weeks was spotted returning home (video footage in backyard) but was too scared to come inside - the owner had to coax her for hours and hours for 2 nights. Without having a camera aimed at food she would NEVER have guessed her kitty was still in her backyard - HIDING! 🐱💖Lost Calico cat ‘Kittie’ was spotted after 4 weeks in a neighbor’s yard who we flyered so they called us. She had escaped out the front door leading to a busy street and must have found a way into the backyards 1 block away through metal gates she slipped through from teh street. This is why FLYERING at least 1-2 blocks beyond your block is a must. Once ‘kittie’ was sighted on the neighbor’s RING camera, we kept leaving food just before sunset every day around 6pm and got her coming to the food. We then set a humane trap and watched the trap using a baby monitor to make sure we didn’t trap a neighbor cats. The point of this is to continue taking action every day/night. Cats remain near - they do NOT go far from home.... 🐱💖Continue to call for kitty at night in your calm voice..set your alarm for 11pm, 2am, 5am ...walk around the block very slowly and calmly call for kitty ...Lost cat “SQUIRREL” was found after 13 nights of his guardian searching at night with a flashlight (kitty ‘squirrel’ got out from the street front and mostly cement on those blocks) During they day they went door to door finding out who had RING cameras and 7 days in, a neighbor spotted ‘squirrel’ cat walking by on camera at 2am...this gave them the extra boost of hope and they continued to search 11pm-2am. Try everything. Some cats will hide for a good 10 days until extreme HUNGER forces them out…sometimes only at night. And often cats get stuck in a garage while that neighbor is Out of town for over a week! Go back and talk to any neighbor who wasn’t home before. Take notes on the printed google map so you know who you spoked to and who wasn’t home (tape a flyer onto their front door using painter’s tape) 🐯 If your neighborhood isn't already plastered with flyers , PRINT MORE and add or replace flyers - IMPORTANT: knock on neighbors doors AGAIN and REMIND them that your sweet kitty is still missing and ask them to check around especially at night especially..ask neighbors with RING cameras to check the footage in case kitty is spotted...whatever you do, do NOT lose hope...keep searching and spreading the word with your neighbors door to door - they need to be reminded kitty is still out there and you need their vigilant eyes. You are still very early in this search. HUNGER ALWAYS WINS - LURE WITH WET FOOD 🐯 FEEDING STATION WITH CAMERA **IMPORTANT** PLACE A CAMERA (motion activated with night vision) aimed at WET food in bowl before sunset nightly. ( you can buy amazon)Cats that are scared remain near HIDING until their hunger THRESHHOLD will force them to come out of hiding to look for food though they will still continue to hide from humans. YEs - scared cats will even act scared of their human's voice and won't come inside and need to be coaxed. Lost cat 'Luna' was spotted on camera after being 'lost' for several weeks, her human was shocked to learn Luna was visiting the backyard regularly late night and would NOT come back inside ( the backdoor was left open for her) We thought she was stuck at a neighbors which happens all the time and it was the help of the camera which helped her human learn about the different cats that would visit and other animals...Luna’s guardian ended up Trapping Luna by doing a stakeout and watching out the window to the trap since it was just outside (all lights were turned off) 💥💥BUY CAMERA: Mini Blink WIFI camera $35 : https://a.co/ihc7BSy OR BLINK WIRELESS, Waterproof camera : https://a.co/d/cDeKLXz IF NO WIFI: Wildlife/Trail camera (battery operated) check footage manually daily https://a.co/d/a4Rqqdp requires 8 AA lithium batteries (buy extra) + Micro SD Memory Cards: https://a.co/d/44AXvel 🐯 GAIN ACCESS TO NEIGHBORS YARDS: Knock on your neighbors doors in ALL directions to ask for permission to check yards, under DECKS and porches and crawl spaces. Do this alone. Scared cats will NOT come forward right away and they are excellent hiders! You have to keep trying and explain to neighbors that cats protect themselves by hiding - even from the guardian they love - until THEY feel safe to come forward. Studies have proven 🐯Indoor cats remain near HIDING IN SILENCE and are mostly found within a few houses away from the escape point and outdoor/indoor cats mostly within a 1 block radius...sometimes when cats aren't coming back they may have hurt a paw and can’t jump back over a fence or they may be ill and need medical attention so taking action to actively search in neighbors property is crucial 🐯 Check your local animal shelter daily ONLINE Unfortunately many cat guardians give up way too soon and some lost cats end up at the shelter months down the road by getting trapped by a caring neighbor - and those cats are NOT reclaimed so please keep checking your shelters just in case! 🐯 Make sure kitty’s MICROCHIP information is up-to-date. Call to report kitty Lost. If you don’t have the microchip number, check with your vet and/or place of adoption. In addition to updating wherever your cat’s chip was originally registered (or even if you don’t remember where you originally registered the chip), register your cat at the free Found Animals chip registry, https://www.foundanimals.org/microchip-registry/owners and the free pet chip registry, https://www.freepetchipregistry.com/ with your current contact information in order to increase the chances that if your cat is picked up, they can contact you. (I say increase the chances because sadly there are multiple databases for different chips and they are not all interconnected.)

💓 MAKE HUGE NEON POSTERS and /or a BILLBOARD To increase the chances that a neighbors calls for any possible sighting ; once there is a SIGHTING you must ADD a camera aimed at wet food at that spot to confirm it is YOUR cat - once confirmed THEN you can plan to humanely trap kitty - when you can WATCH the trap every single second.(STAKEOUT from a short distance) 💓 NEON POSTER/S where kitty escaped AND also near a busy intersection everyone tends to drive by in your neighborhood. the guardian of lost cat ‘Claude’ created 2 of these HUGE NEON POSTERS - 1 was placed in front of her residence and the other was placed at the nearest busy intersection...a neighbor noticed the poster and then spotted kitty a few days later and called the guardian. 💓 BILLBOARD Make a HUGE BillBoard using a TARP, duct tape and Blown up photo of kitty (kinkos or fedex) - to tie up at a busy intersection near you to ensure everyone in the neighborhood is aware to call you upon sighting. 💓 Tip: Print 16”x20” of clear full body photo of your cat (crop the photo to remove as much background so it’s just your cat) Fedex Print stores charges $11 for one color copy, available overnight. Cut out your cat and glue/tape to each huge neon sign and for the Billboard. See Signs/Billboard Examples: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y1h2G8kgceEs_pdhEsn9O18_ZijKLDbG/view?usp=sharing

💖💖💖💖💖Keep calling for kitty from the escape door this morning and as the sun is setting…keep putting out wet food with camera aimed by sunset each night… ‘ 💖💖💖💖💖Keep flyering and talking to neighbors, GAIN permission to check crawl spaces and sheds and under decks of neighbors with a flashlight to catch kitty's eyes ...continue leaving WET food bowl just outside where kitty got out - you must get a camera aimed or you won't know who eats the food - a camera reveals everything . ❤️ Lost cat Bobby was found stuck in a neighbor's shed who had left for vacation for 2 weeks!! he fully recovered! The guardian kept stopping by until neighbor was back home and gained permission to check crawl space, storage area and shed 🙌 💖💖💖💖💖 Lost cat REESY PUFF (lost for over 5 weeks) was finally spotted on camera - we aimed a mini blink camera where we placed wet food bowl at sunset and it took THAT long for him to come !!. In the meantime I was flyering door to door talking to neighbors and posting up flyers and gaining access to backyards to check crawl spaces using a flashlight...once caught on camera we placed the food partially inside an UN-set humane trap to get her used to going inside without negative consequences - the camera revealed she was hesitant but went in to eat (she was hungry!!) so the next night we set the trap at sunset with yummy bait and waited and watched the ipad that was linked to the mini blink camera aimed at the trap door...she came within 4 hours and by 10pm she was home with her HAPPY guardian 💖💖💖💖💖 Lost cat Pumpkin (lost 26 days!!) was spotted on a neighbor's RING camera who had seen the flyer I posted on her door - she allowed me to set a trap and I monitored out of sight using a BABY MONITOR with a LONG extention cord leading to my car (you must watch a set trap every single second so you dn't trap a neighbors cat or wild animal!) Don't give up - keep FLYERING ...post up flyers and also go door to door taping them onto front doors so no one misses the photo and info. Keep putting wet food in bowl.dish at sunset with a camera aimed that will send your phone movement notifications and record movement. Sending you love and unwavering determination 💖💖💖💖💖

Did you set up a trail camera aimed at wet food where you lost GIlly? ARe you going there at night to call for her? Flyering and talking to neighbors during the day - even 1 hour a day is progress as long as wet food and water are there by 5pm and get camera aimed by tonight/tomorrow at the latest... you must go back at night and stay where you lost Gilly for an hour at least - though longer is better - when a cat is in survival mode they hide EVEN from the human they love but sometimes there is a moment where they decide it's safe to meow to you or come forward. Bring a flashlight to shine under cars to catch the GLOW of her eyes...❤️ don't wait for anyone - it won't happen. there are 1000s of lost / abandoned /stray cats outside in Oakland. YOU can find her...lure to food with camera aimed consistently before dark each night (once spotted on camera then plan to trap) sending you love , hope and determination.

Go there tonight to put food down and call for her calmly exactly where she got out AND again return LATE NIGHT 3AM calmly call for her exactly where you lost her..stay for at least an hour - check under parked cars with a flashlight ...if you see her - take your time - let her come to you or S L O W L Y advance as you crouch down low with carrier near you...pull her into the carrier backward / BUTT first it's 100 times easier than face forward... BUT get that camera aimed by tomorrow night - Talk to neighbors during the day and find out if 1 neighbor very close to where Gilly escaped will let you use their WIFI to add a $29 mini blink camera plugged in and out the door aimed at wet food bowl THERE - your cat will come on that block though the closer the better - it can take several nights - it took me 2 weeks for 1 cat to show up where she escaped - must put wet food every single night - so get the battery operated camera AND a Mini blink WIFI camera - to plug into a neighbor's house and use their wifi - knock on doors during the day - ask neighbors with RING cameras if they can review night activity...if you put food in 2 locations THEN YOU MUST ADD A CAMERA at both spots...once you see your cat eating food on camera THEN - you can plan to set a trap - sorry to repeat a bit - i just want you to get your kitty home.❤️

Chloe is HIDING from ALL humans - she will remain where she was lost even if she ran off - they return to where they were initially lost - your friend must go there AT NIGHT late night or early morning like now and calmly call for Chloe over and over - ALONE - your friend must be the only one calling for her ALONE after dark - shine a flashlight under parked cars and bushes to catch the glow of her eyes.... Your friend must must must aim a camera at Chloes food bowl - wet food only placed by 5pm - 2 cans worth in case another cat comes to eat the food there' s enough for Chloe. *Place the food bowl inside a larger bowl and add 1 inch of water on the outer bowl to prevent ants from swarming the food*. Have your friend rent a humane trap - once Chloe is spotted on camera eating THEN set the trap the next evening and wait /sitting in your parked car - I JUST did this (for the 50th time) with another cat lost in a new location - no one could find her during the day but at night she showed up on my TRAIL camera (battery operated) and that's how I KNEW she WAS there! Set the trap the next night but she was too scared to go in the trap - I left WET food that night when i was too tired to stay...needed her to keep returning at night for food - night 2 of trapping - she went into the trap!! Important to cover the whole trap immediately with a sheet or blanket to calm kitty in the trap and prevent self harm trying to escape. Please tell your friend they must go there at night. FLYER door to door and post flyers on both sides of lampposts during the day - ask neighbors to check their RING cameras for night activity...❤️ 🙏

Indoor/outdoor Cats that get lost in a NEW TERRITORY will act exactly like an INDOOR-ONLY cat that gets outside - they will find the 1st place to hide and HUNKER DOWN in SILENCE - They will remain VERY NEAR. Cats that are scared and in foreign environment will often NOT meow/ respond to calls even from their human (at first) ...though Kitty still needs to HEAR your CALM voice and keep hearing you (until kitty THINKS it’s safe to come forward) so do not stop calling out for kitty i your normal calm voice... Kitty is in survival mode and meowing would give away the hiding spot to predators. My best thing to do is hang out where kitty escaped from sunset to as late as you possibly can. Bring the stinkiest wet food you can to place in bowl/dish...walk and call his name...BUT...THIS IS IMPORTANT...you need to STAY IN ONE SPOT and STILL for at least 20 minutes per spot -- kitty will hear your voice and want to come to you BUT he needs to know it is safe....wear warm clothes…. GET A battery operated WILD LIFE CAMERA AIMED at wet food you leave by escape point - so you can check footage in the AM and see WHO ate the food. Once you see your cat spotted on camera eating the food but still hiding from your calls THEN the next step is trapping your cat using a humane trap. RENT from your local animal shelter or borrow from a cat rescue. You can’t believe how guardians are shocked to find their cat on camera after days and weeks and months of kitty missing - camera aimed at wet food is KEY. replace the food every am and sunset be consistent. Other cats and animals may eat the food - they watch each other, leave more food. .. Be patient...Don't give up! Kitty is out there. It can take several days before the hunger threshold is hit and kitty comes out of hiding at night to look for food. WET FOOD ONLY so you don’t attract raccoons . TRAPPING/ LURING YOUR CAT: yes in a new location you sometimes have to humanely trap your own cat because they may be too scared to come forward to you when they are in survival mode: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SwaCTR1QrhlWg6mhq8roXmJHb6nauLCHB6v38UYCPRM/edit?usp=sharing If you cannot get WIFI from a neighbor (try your hardest will make life alot easier to be able to aim a mini blink camera (overnight on amazon or get the wireless OUTDOOR one) aim the camer to wet food bowl on someone’s property if possible - near where kitty escaped from. DO NOT LEAVE THE FOOD IN THE CAN - it will slice a cat’s tongue!! Wildlife camera -buy 8 lithium AA batteries: https://a.co/d/1BKTRPo SD memory stick: https://a.co/d/44AXvel LOST CAT BUSTER REMAINED WHERE HE WAS LOST (behind a vet clinic) FOR 4 WEEKS! Lost cat ‘Buster's’ carrier case broke outside a vet clinic and he ran across the freeway and back then darted off behind the vet clinic...I made flyers the the guardian and told her to follow my guidance but she didn't she flyered blocks away , even going door to door ...she never went out from 10pm-6am to call for him; relying on folks who weren't near the clinic. After 4 weeks she called me desperate and I told her to go that night at 10pm back to the vet clinic and call for Buster...she called me at 1030pm and screamed Buster meowed back!! he was hiding behind a fence of a closed construction shop. He had remained in the exact location (behind the clinic) for 3 weeks! She had to gain his trust for the next week returning at the same time each night and finally he came out all the way and she was able to pick him up and put him I her care and get him home! We were going to trap him once she got him used to coming out for food (he was in survival mode and was acting skittish toward her but still meowed when she called) The moral of the story (and many similar) is cats that are indoor and get outside hunker down VERY NEAR (usually within 1-3 yards) and cats that find themselves in a new location (recent move or busted carrier outside a vet clinic) will also hunker down very near...so please read my long post and follow the guidance ...dont get discouraged or lose hope. You're sweet baby is near and needs your help...spread the word in person and flyering for neighbors to take a photo if they think they spot him...sometimes you have to trap your own cat who is in survival mode..sometimes you can just pick up your baby...also kitty could be stuck in garage next door or shed...you dont know so you must cover all possibilities and take action in many forms to make sure you are doing everything possible. Be determined, stay organized , consistent and do not give up! All cats are different some meow back some hide and show up on camera

Please tell your friend to go BACK TONIGHT / EARLY MORNING - must be at night - to exactly where she was lost and call for her calmly over and over FROM where he lost her...When cats get lost in transit - they REMAIN where they were displaced - they don't run away - they find a place to hide and hide - and look for food at night. He must go there and call for her...and then place wet food in a bowl with a camera aimed (Trail camera works great) and check if she ate in the AM.... he should rent a humane trap as he may need to trap her. Get her coming to the food on camera THEN you set the trap the next night while waiting in your parked car - i've done this many times for folks who have lost their cat in a new location - lure to wet food (NO DRY - it attracts raccoons) and then once confirmed on camera going to the food THEN plan to trap the next sunset... 💥💥BEFORE TRAPPING: MUST-WATCH HOW-TO VIDEO Trapper Tips and Tricks!
