Gray with a clipped ear. Yellow eyes. Might have blue harness and leash still attached. Timid and very friendly. He is chipped so any vet or shelter can take him and contact owner. #findingdustin

Message from Owner

My cat, Dustin (he doesn't really know his name yet, I've only had him a couple weeks) just got loose and I lost sight of him at the corner of Edinburgh and Braemar, behind the new hses there. He is dark gray, young, with slightly chubby build. He should have a blue harness and leash on him. No collar. I took him outside for a minute and when bringing him back in, he panicked when I tried to pick him up, his collar got caught on my finger and broke away, including his tags and gps tracker, and he bolted. I chased him from my hse on Edinburgh north, across Benton, to where I lost him in the backyard of the first hse on the south side of Braemar. He is chipped and has a clipped ear. The chip isn't registered to me, I have the number though, I guess I'll try to get that transferred? I'm not too sure how that works. Please contact me if seen. Thank you.

Be proactive. Cats that escape from indoors will most likely stay close by. They will go into hiding but come out at nighttime. Go out when it’s dark, or early morning around 5 am , use a flashlight and call out by name, look in bushes, under cars etc. Talk to your neighbors and get the flyers out , they are really helpful for those who won’t see your posts on the internet. Put out some clothing to attract the cat’s smell, if possible set up a Wi-Fi camera to monitor and if the cat comes- set a trap. The cat will try to find a food source so try setting up a food station and monitor. Report to your local police and if the cat is microchipped, make sure the info is up to date. I would also email or call shelters in case animal control picks it up. Check their websites daily as new cats come in all the time.

❗ Call the microchip company ASAP, they will send out an alert. ❗️Post flyers everywhere, including local shelters, vets, and police stations. Make sure to call all of them to see if anyone has turned the cat in. ❗️Post on the Citizen App ASAP, it will reach thousands of people in your area in a matter of minutes. ❗️Ask neighbors if they have cameras or ring doorbells, and if they can look at them to see if he passed by. ❗️Buy or rent a trap from a rescue, vet, police station, friend, or neighbor. ❗️Get cans of 9-Lives, put the trap by your house or building, and put the food inside (1 can at a time on a plate). Write a note: “Please don’t touch, trapping lost cat, please call (add your #) if seen.” Check the trap every 15 minutes, as you might get other wildlife caught and need to be released. ❗️Be patient — it can take a couple of days to catch him as cats get scared when not used to being outside, and they act differently. They normally hide during the day and come out at night. ❗️Check under the porches and back decks of neighbors, as they make great hiding spots, along with bushes. 🙏🏻 You find him soon 🐈‍⬛

He has a chipped ear, so he’s micro chipped, even if it’s registered to the rescue group!
