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.

Cat is Close by. Check at night under bushes and porches etc with flash light for glow of thr eyes. Leave (ideally in a trap) smelly fish (like mackerel) or hot foods (my cat came back after 16 days to my neighbors grilling burgers). Call at night. Post on pawboost and print physical posters. Put posters in page protectors with closed side up and bottom taped closed. Put them up in area and knock on neighbors doors to ask to look and keep an eye out and give them a flyer for if they see cat. https://www.missinganimalresponse.com/lost-cat-behavior/ https://www.missinganimalresponse.com/intersection-alerts/ Also, I used https://www.professionalpettrackers.com/

Ask neighbors to check sheds, crawl spaces, garages, under decks, bushes, and anywhere else she could be trapped or hiding. Put up flyers, post on NextDoor, and notify and visit animal control. Best of luck!

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 .. basement 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!!

Put an article of clothing with your scent on it on your porch close to where she got out. Cats have a wonderful sense of smell and will come to those items. Leave a window cracked nearby so that you can hear her. Cats usually don’t go more than a few houses in any direction, so post pictures around the neighborhood and on doors. Ask neighbors to keep an eye out and to check garages and sheds. Cats hide, usually fairly close by. They tend to come out after dark, so look for her then. Call and rattle a treat can if she likes those. If you put food out, stay close by, because it will also attract other animals that might scare her away. Don't leave it out very long. Also, go in person to shelters and vets' offices, and leave a picture and phone number there. I hope you find her!

Is your cat microchipped? If so contact microchip company to issue alert. Also check with Animal Control and file a missing cat report in case you cat is picked up. Check the shelter in person
