Description

She is a small cat only like a foot long, she is all black with huge black ears and big yellow eyes, she has a scar on her nose and almost always has her tail curled upward. She is very skiddish around people and runs very fast so be careful if you see her and she isn’t already close, she also does not typically respond to her own name BUT calling it out would still be suggested

Message from Finder

o nearby residents, my name is Abby and me my brother woke up this morning and our young cat Doris, who has a twin brother Timmy has gone missing. We have searched our home and nearby areas for her with no luck. She typically likes to hide under things so check under cars and anything else you may find on a walk or otherwise being out. We can pay whoever finds her if needed we love her so dearly and she is so young and probably scared

LEAVE YOUR DOOR CRACKED OPEN OR OPEN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE RIGHT NOW AND PUT THE OTHER BABY UP MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH ALL NEIGHBORS DEFINITELY WITH THE DOOR OPEN YOUR BABY WILL PROBABLY COME BACK IN BUT MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH ALL NEIGHBORS SO THEY DIDN'T THINK YOUR BABY WAS A STRAY BECAUSE SHELTERS ONLY HOLD FOR 72 HOURS IF YOUR BABY DON'T SHOW UP BY TOMORROW I WOULD ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY GO INTO THE SHELTERS AND TAKE PICTURES AND FLYERS AND LEAVE THEM JUST IN CASE SOMEONE PICKED YOUR BABY UP THINKING OF STRAY BUT MOST LIKELY OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE

Talk softly when calling late night and during the night to early morning when it quite out .. Might wait in between to see if you hear them meow nearby .... For indoor cats if there is any way you could leave your door garage door or window slightly ajar if possible they know where they got out and will often come back in on their own .. If you didn't see them get out check deep dresser drawers, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, under beds in box springs, behind the frig, the stove, behind or under the sofa, under or in the recliner the washer/dryer or inside if left open .. bat crawl space .. attic .. anywhere small or behind a cat can hide they will! If out cats will hide during the day and are more active late evening near dark to early morning , daybreak ... have a spot light to shine to see eyes in the dark .. they are usually close by and will often come back to the door .. or hide under bushes or decks to feel safe ! Also check crawl spaces under houses , garages, sheds of neighbors nearby ...No food out after dark it will attract area strays and wildlife to the area ... check culvert pipes .. storm drains .. up trees .. and colder weather they will get under car hoods for warmth and on tires also ...this can happen and they could be miles from home . Cats in a new home need at least 30 days to adjust to a new area and may and will travel to get back to their old home .. In some cases a set trap may be needed and monitored! A Trail cam or night vision goggles can help to monitor the areas outside! Post to Nextdoor Ask neighbors to check their Ring Doorbells... Beware of loose and roaming dogs in the area as they will chase and your cats! For automatic garage doors please place a 6x6 block or cinder block so that the door will not come all the way down and trap your pet as they can be injured! Check with area Shelters, Animal Control, and Vets offices also put flyers ... Am sure you have tried most all of these! Don't give up!!

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.

These are general search tips and not all may apply in your situation. Search at night w/ a flashlight (eyes will glow). Check up in trees and inside/under things in your yard and up to 4 - 5 houses away. Search garages, sheds, under decks and bushes, in crawl spaces, behind AC units - any place the cat might be trapped or hiding. Many cats go into hiding mode for safety and won't come when they hear their owner's voice but try calling and try either shaking a can/bag of treats or carrying an open (smelly) can of cat food or fish. Put something w/ the cat's scent on the porch (cat bed, scratching post, sofa pillows). Keep your garage door up enough to allow entry. Keep fresh bowls of water out. Put up large missing cat posters (neon poster board works well), talk to neighbors (leave info for those not home), post on all local social media groups and make sure to check with local animal control at least once a week (better to go in person but at least call and send them a photo). If not found at night with a flashlight, go out during early morning, before dawn, as many cats are active around that time. If not found in a few days, you can always buy a humane cat trap but traps *must* be checked multiple times each day, every day. If the cat is microchipped, please make sure the chip company has your updated contact information. And even if the cat has a chip, you still need to check with animal control as chips sometimes are overlooked or migrate down. Please search often and don't give up hope.
