Message from Owner

Xya was stolen from our front porch at night just before we were to lock her in for the night. She is my adult daughter's cat who is visiting from another state for a few months. We have a cat door and a catio and she was monitored when she went outside. We think someone may have taken her out of concern to protect her from coyotes(?) (Neighbor door cam showed no coyotes). However, this wasn't the way to do it by trespassing, stealing, and not communicating with us. She is 15 years old, has very few teeth, and has special dietary needs, She eats grain free food only, (Nulo pate), no dairy, likes a little oat milk. She is not chipped. This is a sweet, beloved, nice friendly kitty and we are saddened and hurt by this loss. Please bring her back to us. My daughter was planning to return to her state with Xya. If anyone has any information it will be appreciated.

Tara Hebert The door cam doesn't show our walkway or front porch, just anything approaching it. It showed no coyotes. There was a food delivery person earlier, so not a suspect time wise. There was no evidence of coyote attack, no screeching, blood or fur. This was a Colorado country cat who my daughter says was a badass survivor She would have climbed a tree, jumped up the planter box onto the roof or dived into the cat door. There was no commotion. We heard human steps and feet shuffling. It's a mystery.

Lost Cats‼️ Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Try to stay low, standing is intimidating to cats. Place some dirty socks and pillow cases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for her to get in. DO NOT leave food or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be killed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take months to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of her eyes. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a methodical search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum they can snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. In addition to posted flyers, make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Some people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. a lot of people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap closely, predators can a cat in a trap.
