Message from Owner

Bootsie is a sweet and affectionate senior boy. He is shy around strangers and may be hiding somewhere. His previous owner had his front feet declawed and he is primarily an indoor cat. He understands human language very well and generally pays attention to suggestions. I adopted him five years ago at a Clear the Shelters event. When I was petting him in his cage, he would pat my arm to get me to continue if I paused while talking to the staff. When we got home, he saw my elderly mother sitting on the sofa and fell in love with her. His favorite hideout was her bedroom closet, After she past, he shared it with me a few times during tornado watches. Later, he made the space under her bed his favorite place to be and I would feed him there sometimes. Recently, he has been calling to me in the morning as he walks from the bedroom to the living room and I tell him where I am each time. Then I ask him if he wants some love and he comes up to get some.

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!!
