Description

Orange & white and has a clipped ear from a catch & release program prior to living with me. Trudy is chipped 11/04/25- I wanted to let people know Trudy is still missing. I have discovered there are a lot of orange & white cats in Dayton. I am extremely thankful to the people that reached out to me with sightings. Every lead/sighting is important to me because one of those tips WILL lead me to find her. So, PLEASE reach out, day or night. All information is greatly appreciated! Thank you very much!

Message from Owner

Trudy is very skittish due to being a feral cat for the first 3 years of her life. Please if you see her call me at. Thank you. Jennifer

from SPCA on how to find a lost cat: look around for the closest hiding places. Bring a flashlight look in storm drains; in the heavy brush; up in trees, inside or under sheds; inside garages; under decks; and inside bat crawl spaces – any place where your cat can hide. Stay close by – newly adopted or indoor-only cats are often found within a 3 house radius of their home. Remember your cat may not meow back when you call even though your cat is most likely close by. Your cat is most likely hunkered down to the ground and ready to dart away from any perceived threat – even from you! A cat’s instinct is to hide, stay put, and NOT meow. Put Food, Water, Litter Box, and Bedding Outside: place near the point of escape or close to a good hiding spot nearby. Use strong-smelling canned cat food that your cat can smell from a distance, so your cat knows where to go for food a can of tuna or sardines works wonders. Go out extremely late at night and early mornings with a flashlight and can of tuna, keep your garage door or patio door open a little so the cat can get in. LEAVE YOUR DOOR OPEN SLIGHTLY DURING THE TIME YOUR HOME SO IT CAN GET BACK IN, MAYBE EVEN PUT SOME FOOD BY THE DOOR. Talk to Neighbors: Immediately start talking to your closest neighbors. and ask them to actively search their own property for your cat. Put signs up in your immediate neighborhood with large print saying, “LOSS CAT.” Include a photo, date lost, and phone number where you can be reached 24/7. It could take days, or longer, to get your cat back inside. Do not give up if your cat fails to show up after a day or so. And do not just wait for your cat to come back. You need to actively search for and lure your cat back home. Keep looking in those same old hiding spots – depending on how much time has passed, your cat may be moving from one hiding spot to another. Also, try new spots and enlarge your search area step by step, house by house. Post on "Next-door" app for your area, Go out looking for your fur baby and when found keep the cat inside. check www.washoecounty.us/animal/lost_and_found/index.php, for found pets. I would also check the Nevada Humane Society and look at pictures of cats up for adoption, in case kitty was found and no0t claimed in 5 days and sent there for adoption. Have you asked neighbors to check inside their sheds, garages and under decks? Maybe give them some food to put in these places for few days to see it it gets eaten, also water. There was a loss cat found locked in a shed for 2 weeks alive but skinny, so it's possible. Are you sure kitty got out could be hiding in house, check under, in and behind all furniture and appliances, check in all drawers and cabinets, under mattress and in all vents .

Lost Cat Go outside and call for your cat like every five or 10 minutes relentlessly. If you have a can of treats, I would shake that every five or 10 minutes as well. A lot of times cats are scared and hiding close by. I say this from experience with my own cat I really hope you find your kitty.🙏🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🙏

If she is an indoor only cat she will not go far. She is hiding close by and will be elusive. Walk up and down your neighborhood while shaking your favorite bag of food or treats or whatever brings your kitty running to you at all times of morning , day and night. You may also want to consider using one of those toy laser lights at night to bring your cat out of hiding. Knock on neighbor’s doors and give them a good contact number in case they see her. Very important in case they are stuck in a garage or shed or God forbid even hurt. Not everyone will see your fliers and post. If you have a garage or front door, leave it cracked open just enough for kitty and leave bedding or clothing that has your scent, also leave food and water, but be aware of predators. Remember in most cases, she will be close by, so don’t give up and keep looking. You may want to consider borrowing or buying a humane trap. Be persistent and consistent and most importantly, Don’t Stop Looking! Not all cats will just show up at your door. It took us over a month to get our kitty home with the help of neighbors. God Bless you and your fur babies. Be aware of scammers. They ask for number codes and money.
