Description

Missing: Big Tom Big Tom is a fluffy gray-and-white male cat. He is extremely feral and very timid around people. If you get too close to him, he will usually run away or may even try to bite because he has never really experienced love, affection, or human kindness. Big Tom was already living around my home when we moved here, and because he is such a big tomcat, that’s how he got his name! I’ve been trying to earn his trust and safely trap him, just as I’m doing with my other cats. He may not be a cat I can pick up, hold, or cuddle, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love him. He is still one of my babies, and he is missed very much. Please keep an eye out for Big Tom. Even the ones who won’t let us love them up close deserve to be loved, protected, and cared for. ❤️🐾

Go out early morning or after dark and quietly call your cat....chances are you cat is scared and hiding....take a flashlight ...if your cat doesn't come to you, shine it around to see if it catches it's eyes...under bushes and in the trees. Put a BIG, COLORFUL sign at the last place seen so people know where your cat belongs if they spot him or her…ask your neighbors to check sheds, crawl spaces and garages. Go to your local shelters every day or 2 to look for yourself…please don't depend on a phone call. The person you speak to may not be aware that your pet might have been turned in. If possible leave your door or window open a crack while you're home.

Be sure to GO to your LOCAL SHELTERS with a photo and report your pet lost (your pet may have been taken to a shelter that is not the closest one to you). They have a board for both lost and found pets. Many finders take pets they find to them. Remember, NOT EVERYONE is on Social Media. There's some excellent advice on Missing Animal Response Network on Facebook as well as their website. Additional advice can be found on the website under the drop down menu labeled lost pet help.

Give flyers to the local vet offices and mail carriers too!! Missing Animal Response Network has excellent advice on what to do when your pet goes missing. The section about NEON signs is a must but all of the tips will also help you in your efforts to find your pet. Try putting a large lost sign at the last place seen (someone else may have seen something). Also check on Craigslist under pets lost/found.

Try posting on the local Nextdoor app (if possible), lost. petcolove. org and watching Craigslist.🤞 Also try putting out unwashed laundry and some stinky shoes at the last place seen with you nearby and hopefully your pet will smell it's way back to you. DO NOT PUT YOUR PET'S BEDDING OR LITTER BOX OUT because it can attract predators where your scent will scare predators off but still attract your pet. If it comes down to it, try renting or borrowing a trap from the shelter... Put something in the trap that your kitty cannot refuse. Putting up cameras may help too. BEWARE of scammers saying they found your pet and want you to email them or send them a code. They will also tell you to text or connect through Instagram to a certain group that helped them find their pet. DON'T do it! It's a scam. Also, be wary of calls from shelters. There is a scam, copying shelter's phone numbers and saying that your animal is there and needs emergency treatment and to send money.

Some debate about the litter attracting feral cats or other animals. 🙏🏻♥️

I hope the person missing him checks w/ animal control today and then weekly. If he was picked up or turned in to AC, they might not keep him long. If he isn't neutered, he might be out looking for a girlfriend. Put up missing tom cat posters up to 1 mile away, post on all local social media groups and area specific sites like Nextdoor. Ask neighbors to check their barns, sheds, garages, etc., and to keep an eye out for him.
