Description

UPDATE 8/24/26: Blossom has been returning slowly for meal time, but we believe he may be getting fed elsehwere as well. He is staying around more before leaving. We're not sure where he is going overnight. If anyone recognizes him from a community feeding site near Oldbury Rd or Old Buckingham Rd or Old Buckingham Station Apts, please let us know. Tipped left ear. No collar. No microchip. 8/6/26: Our sweet, shy “big boy” was attacked by a coyote on our deck on 8/6. He fought back and escaped, but we don’t know what happened after he ran. May have gone toward Old Buckingham Station apts on the other side of the wooded area where he was last seen. Blossom is a previously feral/stray we adopted 3 years ago. He is socialized with us, but will hide from unfamiliar people. Large black and white tuxedo mixed breed, possibly Maine coon and/or HImalayan traits. Black body with white markings - stripe on nose, bowtie mouth, white chest, feet, and whiskers.

Blossom's Owner Says

Thank you to everyone who shared this post, offered support, or tips. The Big Boy finally returned home permanently. We are so happy to have him back. Unfortunately, one of our other trio, Koko, went missing about a week later after an undetermined incident on the same deck that the camera did not record. We have had no sightings of him at all and no luck finding community cat caretakers at Old Buckingham Station apmts where Koko likely would have gone to hide out if he were still alive.

Here are some some tips that have been found to be very effective in bringing missing cats home: File a lost report with animal control and check nearby shelters *in person* and often. If they are chipped, be sure to report them to the microchip company. Cats do not typically go far, especially those that are not used to spending time outdoors. If they are indoor or indoor/outdoor pet(s), look very throughly inside… EVERY nook & cranny inside the home. Always keep in mind, cats are the absolute best at Hide & Seek. If you’re able to, leave the opening you think they got out cracked for them to re-enter, (they’ll usually go back in the way they went out). If used to being given treats, shake the treat bag, canned food opened with a can opener, use your outdoor electrical socket or an extension cord to plug the opener outside to “call” them to eat. Put wet/smelly food out in the evening & monitor it closely. Pick it up during the day or if you notice it's attracting strays. Although often times suggested, do NOT put the litter box outside or make trails with dirty litter. This may draw predators and/or other more aggressive cats that may chase your’s away and into deeper hiding. Put out unwashed articles of their and your bedding & articles of clothing, especially those of their favorite human. You can also make "scent strips" from these unwashed items and place them in trails leading to your door or window . Go out late in the evening and in the very early morning with a flashlight… look high & low for the glow of their eyes… under vehicles (including tire wheel wells & under the hood), under porches, in sheds, storm drains & other exposed pipes, in bushes AND on roof tops & in trees, etc. They will be most active between dusk and dawn. Sit quietly while softly shaking a bag of treats and softly calling their name. Make chum trails leading to your door by using a can of canned tuna in water (no oil) or canned cat food and a gallon of warm water. Shake well and sprinkle in trails leading to your door and/or the opening you believe they left from. Get fliers up right away with phone number asking for sightings and ask neighbors to check garages, under porches, etc. Post in PawBoost, Ring and Nextdoor apps. Set up a humane trap. Animal Control or a rescue organization maybe able to loan you a trap at no cost. Monitor the trap continuously and with a motion-activated camera if possible. WATCH OUT for scammers (they’re all over lost & found animal groups, preying on those in their most desperate times)!!! They will claim they have them (or know who has them & asking for money without providing a new picture… NEVER send or give any reward UNTIL they are safely in your possession. Hope this helps! Fingers crossed !🤞🤞

Lost Cat Recovery Checklist Immediate Actions ■ Start searching close to where she got out (cats usually hide nearby). ■ Check high & low hiding spots: under cars, porches/decks, shrubs, garages, sheds. ■ Ask neighbors to check open garages/sheds and closed spaces before shutting doors. Best Times to Search ■ Search during quiet/dark hours (best: 12am–7am, especially 1–6am). ■ Use a strong flashlight at night to spot eye reflection. Calling & Approaching ■ Call for her during still hours (overnight/early morning). ■ If you see her: stay calm and quiet (don’t chase). Scent Lures (Safe Options) ■ Put outside: her bed/blanket or your unwashed clothing/bedding. ■ Place scent items near the trap and/or leading toward the door. ■ Do NOT place a litter box outside (can attract predators such as coyotes). Food / Feeding Station ■ Set up a feeding station and feed during the day only. ■ Do NOT leave food out overnight (attracts wildlife & scares cats off). Humane Trap (Highly Recommended) ■ Get a live/humane trap ASAP. ■ Use food only inside the trap (don’t leave food elsewhere). ■ Cover trap with a tarp/blanket for safety and comfort. ■ Check trap frequently—never leave it unattended overnight. ■ In harsh weather: check every 30 minutes. Outreach (Very Important) ■ Post flyers around the neighborhood with phone number (day/night contact). ■ Bring flyers to local vets, shelters (go in person every few days if possible), and pet stores. ■ Tell your mail carrier (they notice roaming pets). ■ Ask known stray feeders/rescuers if they’ve seen her. Mindset ■ Keep checking at different times daily. ■ Don’t give up—cats can be found weeks or months later
