Description

Update to post: He was last seen 7/29 near our hse. We tried to catch him and he crawled under the porch. I'm worried he doesn't trust us anymore and we pushed him further from help. He still seems sick. Original Description: Very small, very skittish gray and white feral cat

Message from Owner

The last we saw this kitty, he was having trouble balancing himself and was lethargic. He may have an inner ear infection. He is scared of humans and rarely lets himself get petted but will eat food and stick around. We were trying to slowly gain his trust so that we could adopt him, but he hasn't been seen in a few days and we worry his sickness took a turn for the worst.

Oh no! I’ll keep an eye 👀 out for your pet. In the meantime, check with local shelters in our area and put up posters where your pet was last seen. Don’t forget to file a missing animal report with ( 5,seven,1 )-4,eight,9-7,zero,0,four ) they specialize in finding lost or stolen pets. They found mine in less than two days after I texted them! Give them a try; hopefully, they can help you get yours back. The sooner, the better. By the grace of God, your pet will be found!

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

LOST CAT OPEN DOOR Scatter the contents of your hoover bag around the outside boundary of your home - they can scent their way home from miles away, using the familiar smell of your home. If putting out clothing make sure that it hasn’t been washed so that it smells of “you”. Going out late at night/ early morning when it is quieter and less noise distraction around will make it easier for you to hear each other’s calls. If you are calling for him make sure you do this as you walk towards your home not away from it so that if he follows the direction of your voice you’re leading him home, not further away. Also ask any neighbours to check their sheds/ outbuildings in case he’s been inquisitive and got trapped inside somewhere. If he is an indoor cat he is likely scared and hiding somewhere very close by - look under/behind any items/objects that he may be seeking shelter from - under bushes, behind bins etc. when searching at night take a torch - the light from its beam will reflect in his eyes and you will be able to spot him even if he doesn’t respond to your calls. Put up posters in all surrounding streets and inform the microchip company that he is missing.Put out water, and some of YOUR dirty clothes (dirty socks are nice and stinky)/blankets (dry in dryer first to enhance smell). Depending on the weather, you might want to put out a plastic tub with straw for shelter. Go out every morning and evening walking (folks seem successful around 10:30 p.m., but don't go alone) with food/treats in bowl rattling it, calling your cats name. Cats are often hiding within a 5-house radius. Do NOT give up. There was a cat a week or so ago, they went out every night for 5 nights, finally on the 5th night, they heard it's meow, it was trapped in a neighbor's shed. Another was hiding in a tree from the neighbor's dogs. Check buildings, bushes, trees, and storm drains around your house. Also in the house/garage, keep all doors/closets OPEN in case it's hiding in the house. If you can, leave door cracked open from which cat would most likely sneak back in during the night. If desperate, sprinkle your urine near the cracked door as stronger scent guidance. Worked for us!
