Jan Gordon ..they do look very simular!! I checked the website and called them. The cat they have has not been spayed and my Fuzzy has been which is evident by her clipped ear.
I thank you very much for your effort!Read More
For Fuzzy's people:
I hope your kitty is safe and home soon. â¤ď¸
Here are some potentially helpful tipsâplease forgive if youâve already tried some or if anything doesnât apply to your situation.
â General Tips for Any Lost Cat:
- Search indoors thoroughly firstâcats can wedge themselves into incredibly small or strange spots. Use a flashlight to check closets, behind appliances, under furniture, and in tight spaces.
- Most indoor-only cats stay very close byâoften hiding silently within just 1â2 houses. Even outdoor-savvy cats may not go far when lost.
- Avoid calling loudly or chasingâlost cats tend to freeze or hide when scared. Use soft, familiar phrases or gentle talking instead.
- Set up a scent station at home or the last known location using your unwashed clothing, their bedding, or items that smell like home.
- If safe, leave a door or window cracked open while you're home and watchingâmany cats return silently when things are quiet and calm.
- Avoid leaving food or litter outside unless you're actively monitoring. These can attract other animals that might deter your cat.
- Consider setting a humane trapâespecially if you're seeing your cat or have a suspected hiding spot. Local shelters or rescues can often loan traps and help with setup.
- Post to local lost & found pet groups, neighborhood apps (like Nextdoor), Facebook community groups, and bulletin boards. Include a recent photo, your contact info, and where/when your cat was last seen.
- Visit local shelters and animal control in person frequently, and file a lost pet report. Cats are sometimes misidentified or mislabeled.
- If your cat is microchipped, make sure your contact info is current and report them as missing to the microchip company.
đ If Lost Close to Home:
- Ask nearby neighbors to check garages, sheds, porches, crawlspaces, and under decks. Cats often slip into tight spots and stay silent.
- Search quietly at dusk, dawn, or nighttime using a flashlight. Check under cars, bushes, decks, and along fences. Look for eye reflection (eyeshine).
- Keep your home calm and invitingâmany cats return when the environment feels safe and familiar again.
đ If Lost Away from Home:
- Set up a scent station at the last known location with familiar-smelling items. Cats often stay nearby and hide until they feel safe enough to come out.
- Donât search too widely or bring large groupsâtoo much activity can keep a cat in hiding longer.
- If youâve had sightings or suspect theyâre nearby, use a trap or feeding station. It may take time for a frightened cat to build up the courage to return.
đ Lost cats often remain close and hidden for days, even weeks. Many return quietly once things feel calm and safe again. Please donât give up hope.Read More
