Message from Owner

This sweet boy didn't know Apopka at all when he was lost, so he could still be in that area or started trying to find his way back where he’s from. I REALLY NEED HELP SPOTTING HIM, PLEASE, as I do not live near where he was lost (but I’ve spent many hours searching & doing all possible). He's very cautious but very sweet & not aggressive with other cats. He won't let strangers pick him up, but if you see him & can give him some cat food to entice him to return so I can come get him, I would be so very grateful. Please private message me via his Pawboost listing with sighting information or questions or post on his Facebook listing that you have info. Please help get him back to me

There is a new black Kitty roaming around my condo at lake lotus. It's not too far from 414 and Bear lake road, but perhaps he could have made it up here the back way. I thought he was one of Samson's children. Samson is a blackcat to I've been feeding supper too for the last five plus years and he still won't let me pet him. I thought it was Samson and I noticed he had sharper ears, in fact I'm looking at him right now walking by. The 1064 building of lotus parkway. He's been eating supper at 1064 lotus parkway Altamonte springs 32714 unit 912, and that is Fernando's condo, and I just now walked over to him and called him salem, and he stopped. However as I advanced toward him, he ran away. But he's here regularly.

Hi! Please go walking through the neighborhood calling your kitty’s name and shaking his/her bag of food or bag of treats and use a laser toy to lure your kitty out to chase the laser pointer. Use a flashlight at night. Look under cars, by bushes and any other place where he/she can be hiding. If possible leave your garage and lanai door partially open. Your cat will try to get back inside, especially during time when it is dark outside. The only way to find the way home again is by smell. Use some of your used clothes, put them outside along with his/her bed and litter box but ONLY if you are keeping an eye on the litter box because it can attract predators. Go in person to the local shelter to check if your cat is there. Call your cat’s microchip company to report him/her missing. Post on Facebook Lost and Found Pets groups of your area. Check on Petco LoveLost website https://petcolove.org/lost/ There are many lost and found cats on that website. Post on Neighbors by Ring App. Its free and you don’t have to have a Ring Doorbell to get the app. There are Apple and Android versions of the app πŸ™πŸΌ Post also on Nextdoor app Prayers for your baby’s safe return πŸ₯ΊπŸ™πŸ½

Go around late at night calling them with food and flashlight to catch their eyes. Check around your neighborhood under houses and in small places where they may hide. Put stuff out that has yours and their scent on it. Hang flyers around for people to see. Check shelters and vets daily. Update chip info if they have a chip and its has not been update since a move. Ask neighbors to check in their garages incase they ended up trapped in one. I pray you get your baby back safe and soon.

Keep a close daily check on your local county animal services website, under their Found Pets section. Hopefully, the cat has a microchip that will help a lot too.

We live in Camden club, which is right next to your community and I have seen a black cat just like this one for two days in a row. I usually see him around midday 2-4 pm
