LOST CAT, PLEASE HELP US BRING GRAMPA HOME Our sweet cat Grampa got out through a side door that we thought was fully shut. We think the door may not have latched properly. It was an unfortunate mishap, and our family is feeling quite devastated. We have had Grampa since he was a kitten, and he is dearly loved. He is about 4 years old, a big gray male cat, neutered, and microchipped. He is an indoor-only cat and has no idea how to be outside, so we’re worried that he may be scared and hiding quietly somewhere close by. He has a tiny little meow for such a big boy. We’ve already reported his microchip, contacted shelters, submitted him to Petco Love Lost, reached out to neighbors, and we’re leaving ways for him to hopefully make his way back in, including keeping the garage cracked. We are posting here for extra eyes and help. If you live nearby, please check garages, sheds, side yards, porches, under cars, bushes, and shaded areas. He could be hiding in a quiet spot and is too afraid to come out. We are in the Cloche Dr / McCartney Dr / Tulette Ln area of Winchester, near EOS Fitness and Benton Rd. If you see him, please message me right away with the location. Any helpful sighting or act of kindness is truly appreciated. We already feel awful and just want our Grampa home safe. Thank you so much to anyone willing to help us look for him 🫶

I'm so sorry to hear that your cat got outside. It sounds like you're doing everything right.  Here is more info below that I usually send to people: Your cat is most likely very close to home. Most indoor only cats are found within 2.5 houses of the house they escaped from. Indoor only cats will be hiding out during the day and typically come out at night when it's dark and quiet as they feel more safe. The best thing to do is to talk to your neighbors during the day to see if they have seen your cat. Do not rely on social media. The best way to find your cat is on foot by talking to people during the day and looking outside very LATE at night. See if your neighbors can leave their garages and sheds open for a few hours. Your cat may not come out right away once the doors are opened. This is because when cats are in survival mode, they typically do not act normal. You can also print mini flyers and attach them to your neighbors' doors if they are not home. You can use painter's tape so that it is easy for the homeowner to remove. Also, post on Nextdoor to alert neighbors. Please make sure that your cat has a way to get back into your house 24/7. You want to leave open a garage door (including the door that goes from the garage to the house) sliding glass door, or window that they exited from as well as some of your recently worn clothing outside of the entry way. ***Do NOT put your cat's litter box outside as it can attract predators.*** You will have the best chance to find your cat from 11 PM until 6 AM. Cats become most active at 3 AM. Use a flashlight and shake a bag of their favorite treats while CALMLY talking (in a normal voice) to your cat.

I thought I heard a cat crying this morning on Cloche but I couldn’t find it best thing to do is go out at night shaking treats with a flashlight because their eyes will reflect if they’re hiding in the bushes. I hope you find your baby.
