If you’ve seen him—or even think you might have—please take a photo and let me know. Waffles, if you’re out there enjoying an unauthorized extended vacay, your reservation has expired. Please come home, Kitty Boy. ā¤ļø

Message from Owner

Won’t approach or tolerate people except for me, as far as I know. Usually sticks very close to the hse but very independent & a hunter. Not seen since 8-15-26. I have a feeling he may have joined a cat colony so any sightings would be appreciated. He adopted mešŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļøā€”loves when I give him light finger tap kisses 😘 on the head & scritches on his cheeks & chin. Often called: Waffles kitty boy. Thank you all for any help in finding him. White tipped front paws, long white socks on back paws and a white bib.

Lexi Brown all these things are already being worked on. Working with the local TNR team, Fieldhaven and have talked to everyone in the neighborhood that I’ve seen. Getting ready to put up posters from Pawboost. I’ve seen many of the cat advocates warn 🚫do not to put cat litter or food out because it will attract predators. He knows the area very well anyway. Hoping he shows up in the TNR event of the local cat colony where a very similar looking cat was sighted. šŸ¤žšŸ½

Carrie Biondo ļæ¼ already been searching around and doing those things as he’s been gone for 10 days now. Think I tracked him down to a nearby colony. Some wonderful ladies who voluntarily help with cat population control are going to do some TNR there—so we’ll see if he turns up in the trapping event. Thank you for your reply.

Immediately (NOW)walk area shake treat bag or Bang on cat food can calling for your cat multiple times during the day-and-night especially when it's quiet out. Look under all bushes and in between houses. Ask your neighbors to check cameras garage, shed backyard. Post on nextdoor, get family & friends to search every day. Search at midnight-5am too call for ur kitten, listen for her meow

Please follow all these steps . It’s very important that you do . Put on a step ladder with smelly wet food or Tuna or salmon on top step of ladder so it drifts through the air.Put it on the top step so it’s high up, if you have 2 ladders put one in backyard and one front of house . Put your cat’s dirty liter boxes outside ,one in the back used , one in the frint yard , cats food and water bowls , your dirty clothes from the laundry ( not washed ) with your natural scent on it . Place them in back yard , front yard and sides of house, spread all around . Leave your garage door ajar at the bottom so it can come in and your windows open slightly at night so you can hear at night any meows or noises . Call your cat at night and early morning when it’s very quiet outside with food . When it’s quiet outside so you can hear meows . They say also call out any other other cat names it knows from your household if you have any others. And listen for movement or quiet meows . Post on Nextdoor.com and Neigbors.com , Placer Lost and Found Pets facebook missing pets etc . Lots of people use the Placer lost and found pets on Facebook . My Neigbors cat was missing for one Week and it was found on there . Cat was at another’s person’s house a few blocks away lost . Pawboost is another good website people use . But start looking and calling your cat at nights and early mornings , bring your cats food with you so it can smell it. Make sure liter box is dirty and your clothes are from the dirty laundry Your cat’s Toys , cat blankets , etc need to all be put outside . Most people find their cats at night with a flashlight. Has happened many times . Usually their cats were hiding in bushes and would not come out because they get scared . So check bushes , under sheds , decks etc around your street, across the street and street behind your house . They usually don’t go too far. Need to do at least a 6 block radius in each direction from your home. Each day missing add on a block. I use to help in cat rescue for years when I lived in Roseville . You will need to use a flashlight and look in bushes . Usually the cats will do a low meow when you call out their name and / or make movement and you have to follow it and pull them out of a bush because they are frightened. Happened quite alot with missing cats . And the people brought an open can of tuna or cat wet food with them tapping it with a spoon as they walked around calling their cat and than really listen . Call cat, tap or shake your cats food and than listen . They say do this on your street , across the street and behind your backyard to start and every day cat is missing to add another block . Do in all directions from your home . Most cats don’t go too far . ask your Neigbors around your area to check their Ring cameras to see if they have seen your cat on it at night , early mornings etc . Many cats are seen on the ring videos and have been found this way .Keep doing every night and morning and leave the food on the step ladders . ( put new fresh food of course ) and definitely keep posters/ flyers up . You need to post flyers / posters all over your area. At stop lights, stop signs , parks , schools , walking trails , mailboxes , street lamp poles , and high traffic areas . Lots of cats are returned found because people see the flyers and on social media sites I mentioned . Don’t give up!!! I have seen cats that went missing take 1, 2 and 3 months plus to find their way back . Their owners kept the liter boxes and stuff out side all that time . They didn’t take it in . And kept flyers up and kept refreshing on social media . Indoor cats don’t know how to find their way home as well as others cats that get lost etc . Please go to: www.3retrievers.com Go to the top 3 menu bar lines . Click on ā€œguide to finding lost cats ā€œ Also click on ā€œscent lures for cats ā€œ Also click on ā€œyour car is probably not far away ā€œ Click on ā€œ loss prevention for cats.ā€ These are excellent articles to read from a pet detective who finds Missing dogs and cats and wrote what to do. He has found hundreds of missing animals by doing the advice he gives . You can Also scroll down the menu to see other stuff he wrote to read with lost pets. It’s excellent info to follow ! Please read!!! Another cat was next door to its house stuck in the Neigbors garage !!!! Neighbor did not know . It was there for one month ! It almost with no food or water but lucky Neigbor found it one month later in the garage in time . Owners rushed it to the vet and it survived You need to ask your Neigbors to check their garages and backyard sheds !!! Cats hide in them. Many are found in peoples garages and sheds etc . Either that or its scared hiding in a bush or under a deck , shed etc . Best wishes and good luck ! God bless ! It’s very important you do the things/ steps I told you in my above text . And to read that pet detective’s article on the website I sent you . I believe I told you to post her on Nextdoor.com Good Neighbors Pawboost Facebook Placer Lost and Found Pets Fieldhaven (Fieldhaven - They have a website . They are a cat only rescue in Lincoln .) Craigslist This was the most recent cat missing in April . Owner sent me this in April when they found cat : After a week of Charlie missing someone found him!!!!!! He was living in there garage just two streets down from us! They caught him after three days of him being in there and found my moms post on facebook that he was missing and somehow found our street! Thank you so much for the help, encouragement, and prayers I really do appreciate it so much! Sometimes they have their own website on facebook. Find out the name of the housing development your at and look on Facebook . Try ā€œ Neigbors of xxxxxā€ That’s what the lady did that found her cat in our community This is ours …. You might have one where your at That’s how the lady in April found her cat. And then post your cat on your neighborhood housing development’s website !! Dont forget to bring some food with you . Shake a bit of dry food . And have the wet food can open and tap the fork as you walk around calling her etc and then stop and listen . One man did that at night , he said he was going to give up after that night and he heard this very low meow in a bush . He said he had to pull his cat out, it would not come out on its own to him, even though he is the owner . Also driving around at night your area with your car high beams on . Cats are out at night . Another different man did that on my street . Took him one or two weeks and his cat was at the entrance to our residential community. As he was driving at night he saw his cat by the wall of extrance . Oh I forgot if your able to fit it on your flyers / posters and your social media posts and write they can call you 24 hours a day if they see sighting of your cat. Some people won’t call late at night and than they tell you the next morning and than it’s back to square one of where the cat went . Some people don’t call , they just write ā€œ I saw a cat that looks like that at etc I hate when they write and don’t call instead. Make sure you put on your posts in capitals to ā€œPlease call me any time of the day or night if you see a cat like mine as soon as you see it ! ā€œ Another person cat was missing for 4 nights recently and a person found it at 3am Cat was only 0.2 miles away . So only a few blocks away . Cats don’t usually go far . The person that found the cat saw the owners flyer. When people move cats sometimes try to find their way back to their other home . Many have travelled back to their old neighborhood when their owner just moved . Post flyers around at other past home and let your Neigbors etc know . Check fields and green backs and open spaces . Cats like to hunt in these areas . Best of luck and wishes !!! God bless your cat and you
