Message from Owner

This is my baby, the first cat I’ve ever owned, and I have had him or I guess now only had:( him for 5 years. I adopted him within days of my husband deploying, we only been married a few months and already he was deploying and I knew that what I needed in my life was a furbaby. So I adopted him as a very young kitten from a shelter, my very first cat, along with two puppies so the three of them could grow up together. All my dreams were realized—they loved each other, they played, and most of us they kept me company on my lonely deployment days. In the 5 years we had Ron my husband and I have had 3 children, my two oldest (3 year old and 2 year old) love him so much and had been so lucky to have such a loving and patient cat. Ron is the absolute perfect family cat, and the most cuddly and social cat you can find. Now my youngest, only 4 months old, will never know what it’s like to have Ron curl up next you and play, and I will never get to realize my dream of my kids growing up and having the privilege of watching Ron grow old. I imagined a whole life with him. So to lose him after smoke in our home set off the smoke alarm, scaring him into running away, is a difficult reality to accept. I need him home, I miss him every minute, and don’t want to keep waking up remembering that I will be going through yet another day of hoping he is somewhere safe and warm. There will never be another cat like him, and our home will never be the same without him if we can’t find him.

General Information: Cats have a keen sense of smell. Set up a scent station. Hang clothes with your scent on it (Worn clothing from owner) high up outside so the familiar scent can travel and guide the cat back home. NO CAT BOX OR FOOD (as that attracts predators) . Ask your neighbors to check their yard/could be accidently stuck in their garage or shed. (If applicable) Check doorbell or home camera - or ask neighbors to check their camera. Post Fliers with a picture of the cat and your contact information in the area the cat went missing. Not everyone is on Social Media and posters have worked in that if spotted a location can be provided. If a cat is scared they make themselves safe by finding a good hiding spot and often times hide in silence. Look in bushes - bring a flashlight and look for shining eyes. Best time to find your cat is in the early morning hours when the noise level is low and they feel safe. Leave an access point open for the cat to return. This is important if they do come back in the middle of the night. Prayers your cat returns/ or is found safely. Beware of scammers.

Check in bushes and under cars near your home, and on the next street over, especially in the evening with a flashlight to catch the reflection of his eyes, calling out to him and making a familiar sound. Ask neighbors if they might have seen him, and when they last did and which direction he headed if they have. If they have security cameras, video footage would help. Ask them if he might be trapped in their garage or shed. I hope he is found soon🙏🏻

Elizabeth C. Hooper - 🚨 LOST INDOOR CAT – URGENT TIPS TO HELP BRING THEM HOME SAFELY 🚨 If your cat has gone missing and is usually indoors, here are critical steps to take: 🏠 Create a Safe Way for Your Cat to Return • Leave a door or window open (ideally the one they escaped from), even overnight - cats often return in the quiet late-night or early-morning hours. • Crack your garage door slightly to allow safe entry. • Place your worn, unwashed clothes up off the ground outside - your scent can help guide them home. • Do NOT place food, water, or litter boxes outside - these can attract other animals and deter your cat from returning. 🐾 Help Them Feel Safe • If you have other pets, keep them secured in a separate room to avoid scaring the missing cat away if they return. 🧭 Search Nearby and Alert Others • Cats typically don’t go far - they may be hiding under decks, in bushes, sheds, garages, or yards close to home. • Talk to your neighbors and ask them to check around their property. • Request that neighbors check doorbell or security cameras (like Ring) for sightings. 📣 Spread the Word – Not Everyone Uses Social Media • Put up physical signs ASAP - include a clear photo and contact info. • Post online in multiple places: • Facebook (your page and local lost pet groups) • Nextdoor • PawBoost Lost & Found • Ring Neighbors app ⚠️ Beware of Scams • If someone contacts you saying they have your cat and asks for money or asks you to verify a code, do NOT respond - this is a scam.
