PLEASE HELP FIND ZAYLA 🐾 My cousin’s cat, Zayla, went missing earlier today near 389 N Crystal Street in Elgin. She is fixed and microchipped, but we are unsure if the chip was ever updated with a home address. The chip may still be linked to the animal hosp in Libertyville, IL where she was fixed/chipped. If anyone sees her or has any information, please message me. Please share to help bring her home safely. ❤️

If your cat is an indoor cat, it will be scared and won’t come when called. Try placing their used litter outside. At night, use a flashlight to check under your and your neighbors' bushes and decks for the reflection of your cat's eyes. ‼️Additionally, consider setting up a humane trap as soon as possible, as it's one of the most effective methods for finding lost cats ‼️. You can bait the trap with strong-smelling sardines. These traps can be purchased at local hardware stores or borrowed from animal shelters. While this approach might seem drastic, remember that lost pets often enter survival mode and behave differently. Be sure to research how to use a humane trap effectively. Make sure to visit local animal shelters in person and look for your missing kitty, and post flyers within a one-mile radius of where your kitty went missing. There are also many valuable resources available online if you search for "how to find your missing cat." Important Note: Be cautious of scåmmers who may claim they have found your cat or offer drøne services. It's best not to engage with them. 🙏🏻❤️
