Message from Owner

Please help me find my lost kitten. A friend of mine took Gizmo to go to target for food and left him in the car. When my friend came back, Gizmo ran out. I went back with my family when my friend let me know, but we didn’t find him. We love him very much and go back every day to no avail. He’s a baby, our baby, and we miss him a lot. We want to know that he’s okay and hopefully bring him back home. Thank you to all who help. 🙏

Put out unwashed laundry around the home, never the litter! Cats that escape are usually close but scared (or trapped in someone’s shed or garage). Go out very late at night and call softly and calmly. Then listen carefully. Shake treats, tap a can, whatever normally makes them come running to you. Use a flashlight to look into bushes and under patios at night. Many cats come back around the house in the middle of the of the night so cameras help! Also, posters! Taped up as well as hand-delivered to neighbours… nothing beats having more eyes out in the area they escaped from! (And not everyone is on Social Media!!) Good luck and don’t give up hope 🍀 🤞🏻💕 Indoor cats that get out go into “survival mode” so don’t be alarmed if they aren’t acting like themselves at first :)

Dan Nichols Hello, Dan. I have and there still haven’t been any updates, but I’ll ask again. My friend did tell me and we went to look, but we couldn’t find him. I am still trying and waiting for any leads or any updates. Thank you so much. I’m praying we will find him well soon. 🙏

Debra Reilly Hi, Debra. I have done just that, but there still hasn’t been any news as of now. I’m continuing to check any spots he may hide in. Thank you so much for your help. I’ll ask an employee if there has been any updates again. 🙏🙏

Jack LoPresti Hi, Jack. Thank you for your comment. I don’t think so. He’s really scared of any loud noises. Given the cars, he wouldn’t go to the streets alone.

Probably is very scared & hiding. Ask Target if there is security camera footage. Someone may have taken him, trying to help. Get flyers up ASAP. 🙏🐈🏡

Please let Target management know and put flyers up around the parking lot. I don’t know how long he’s been missing but he’s probably hiding near where he got out of the car. Have your friend show you the exact parking sport they were in and go from there. I pray you get him back

do you think it’s possible this cat got all the way up to lakeview east?
