Message from Owner

I've had Zulu since he was 8 weeks old. He's almost 9 years old now. We both developed PTSD from the same narcissist. 2 years free from him and all we've had is each other. Finally healing making progress he started going outside but only with me and close. Well we all know how cats work. The more he healed The more he wanted to be out in the yard I never let them out at night I call him in at night I would never leave him outside all night long. But on the night he disappeared I opened the door to the back and out he went like a dash I couldn't stop him so I left the door cracked and I waited and he never came back. I'm all alone now he was my protector healer companion my best friend the only one showing up for me. I struggle with a chronic condition called CRPS and and having him with me made the days a lot better. It's the most painful condition and nickname Disease because the pain is so bad that that's the only way out. It's neurological issue with the malfunction in your nervous system which keeps your fight or flight on constantly and that triggers the brain to create massive pain when there shouldn't be. We were healing together. Zulu was never a people person especially with men he finally started coming out when certain friend came over because he knows her from outside and it was really awesome that he came down. Now he's gone and I feel like I let him down by bringing him into this environment I just had no idea toxic it was back then. I feel like I owe him for putting him through that but maybe he was supposed to be there for me and he was. This is not typical activity for my cat does not stay out on that I don't allow him to stay out right now I live right next to the Greenbelt. It was so hot in here that night and the cool breeze from me opening the door to grab something probably sound good to him I just want my cat back I failed him.

Get out calling Kitty's name especially early and late when it's quiet. Search for the flashlight high and low. Put up posters with number large enough to be seen while driving. And post on nextdoor com

General Information: Set up a scent station. Hang clothes with your scent on it (Worn clothing from owner) high up outside so the familiar scent can travel and guide the cat back home. Ask your neighbors to check their yard/could be accidently stuck in their garage or shed. (If applicable) Check doorbell or home camera - or ask neighbors to check their camera. Post Fliers with a picture of the cat and your contact information in the area the cat went missing. Not everyone is on Social Media and posters have worked in that if spotted a location can be provided. If a cat is scared they make themselves safe by finding a good hiding spot and often times hide in silence. Look in bushes - bring a flashlight and look for shining eyes. Best time to find your cat is in the early morning hours when the noise level is low and they feel safe. Leave an access point open for the cat to return. This is important if they do come back in the middle of the night. Prayers your cat returns/ or is found safely. Beware of scammers.

Create a scent station (items with your/your cat’s smell - unwashed bedding, clothing, cat tower, etc. Especially important if cat is in new/unfamiliar area. Do NOT put out litter pan as feces often used to mark territory and may inadvertently attract predators or territorial cats.). Check it often, especially when things are quiet (late evening/early morning). Leave the garage door open 5” overnight. Check nearby Ring/security cameras in the area. Check in and under everything inside and outside with a flashlight. Cats don’t usually go far and freeze in a tight ball in very small, tight, dark areas when scared. The flashlight catches their eyes’ stare, especially at night. Thoroughly check inside your home, especially if this is a new/shy/scared pet. Post on NextDoor app as it covers your local neighborhoods. Be sure to check your local animal shelter in person at least every other day (can’t stress enough - in person!!! You know your pet best plus animals constantly brought in). If your cat is not spayed/neutered, may be why it is “lost” and traveling further. Hope your pet is home safe and soon. (Note: if anyone asks for money or a code as “they have your pet,” this is a scam). https://www.pawboost.com/blog/7-effective-search-tips-for-finding-your-lost-cat/ https://petfbi.org/i-lost-a-cat/tips-to-lure-a-cat-back-home-2/
