You should go to both WCAS & NOAH’s Ark..! I think you might be able to find your baby..?? I was at the county shelter on Saturday afternoon & saw a few cats that possibly look like yours..? But, I don’t know..! I wish you luck..!

*Please add your phone number to this Pawboost post so you can be reached quickly if anyone finds her. Please post her photo and your info on Nextdoor as it will reach more people who aren’t using Facebook. Go outside now and at dawn or after dusk with a flashlight and shine it in the grass, in bushes, under decks, porches, crawl spaces, window wells, in garages, under cars, up in the trees or on a roof, across the street in bushes and look for her eyes to reflect back at you. Go out and listen for sounds of movement. Walk around the neighborhood and call her. She is probably nearby. If you can, get a trail camera so you can see if she is in your yard at night. Ask permission to go and check in your neighbors’ garages in case she was locked inside and is afraid to come out. Check their yards, sheds, window wells, under porches, under the house and up in their trees too. Crack your garage open a bit so she can come back in. Cats lost outside usually stay quiet because they are hiding from potential predators. Look down in the storm sewers too because cats can jump down there to get away from a car or predator. Check under the hood of your car before starting when it gets cold out. Check under cars near your home Check out your doors from time to time at night, especially between 2-4 am, in case she is trying to come back inside. Open the door, call her quietly and listen for movement or sounds as she may need a minute to come out of hiding. Try holding a door open for her to come in when you are calling her. Put up flyers with her photo and give one to your mail person as they go all over the neighborhood. Also keep checking at Animal Services to see if she was brought in there. Go in person every few days as the staff doesn’t have time to check. Their hours are M 11-7, T-F 11-5, Sat 11-4, closed Sunday. Check the listings for adoptable cats at the area rescues like Noah’s Ark, TAILS, PAWS and Friends Forever in case she was taken to one of them. If she is chipped, notify the chip company that she is lost and be sure they have your correct contact info. Don’t put litter box out as it may attract predators. Instead, put out clothes belonging to her favorite person(s). That will be familiar and help her get home. Post her photo as a lost cat on Nextdoor, Pawboost.com, winnebagoanimals.org and on Facebook at Fido Alert and Lost Dogs/ Cats in Rockford. Include your phone number.
