Description

15 y.o. orange and white tabby, male. Has clip out of ear from being neutered and a second nip from apparent cat fight years ago. Timid but very sweet. I have known Cali since kittency, but became his owner upon death of family member and do not have a bunch of photos.

Message from Owner

Recently moved from.Arizona so Cali is not familiar with neighborhood at all. I learned from rescue that my family member adopted from that he was not chipped :( We are heartbroken and extremely concerned about his well- being. Cali has big eyes, he is very pretty

Shared. Go out late at night & early in the morning when most quiet outside & call her name. Take flashlight & treat bag to look all around your yard, bushes, garage, shed etc. Most cats don't typically go too far from home. Ask neighbors to check in their sheds, garages etc. Maybe put out a live trap & trail camera outside your house. Don't give up, be DILIGENT! I hope you find your sweet kitty soon.

The best time to look for a cat is late at night after the daytime sounds settle down. Go for a walk and take a flashlite scan into the trees and under bushes. A cat can fit in any hole that they can fit their head thru they have collapsible shoulder blades. Most indoor cats stay close to home but come out at night. Most important is to make your presence known. Go out every half hour after 9pm and call for them and stop and listen it's amazing what you can hear late at night. Get your voice and scent out there. They are looking for you also. Look for glowing eyes at night. If there is a dog sibling that the cat likes take the dog on the walk. If you open canned cat food or shake treats do so on your walk. If the cat has a noisy toy shake it on your walk. Make posters and put in every business within a mile of the home. Let your mail carrier know. If there are teenagers in the neighborhood let them know they love reward money and being a hero. Check all local shelters. Let local veterinarians know your info. If there is a feral colony near you check it out. If you can find the feeder of the colony give them your info. Make large signs and put in neighbors yards at least a mile radius of the home. This ensures that everyone in the area has the info. Put post it notes on your neighbors doors to look in sheds and garages. Post on every Facebook forum in your area. Post on Pawboost and For the love of Louie. Check Humane Society. So important to make your presence known every half hour after 9pm. Make a bed out of the cats carrier and put soiled clothes from inside the home around the bed. Put it as close to the house as you can. Leave a shed or garage open check them often. Camp in your yard. Most indoor cats are found late at night. Don't give up. Do not put food out or litter it attracts every animal in the area including raccoon opossum feral cats and coyotes. Your cat will know that there is food inside and that is incentive to keep them close to the house. If you are outside that's OK but take it in when you go back in. If your cat sees a predator eating their food it might make them retreat further. Most important is to let them know you are looking for them. Hope you find your baby
