Message from Owner

Jack Jack has never been outside in his entire life he was raised inside with me and my family even when some of the other cats would escape we would get them back he would never be the one to do that. However due to a last-minute EMS emergency in my hse staff members had to leave the door open in order to get in and out to assist my mother and take her to the hosp. I honestly did not have a thought about anything because when I looked back several times I made sure to scare off the cats away from the door.. however when I went to go feed the cats tonight I shook the bag and every single one of the cats usually come running including Jack. I heard nothing I heard silence I've been spending the past hours looking outside and inside my property and he is nowhere to be found and it is not like him to not come for food. I don't know what the weather forecast currently is but it looks ugly out there he's probably terrified because he doesn't realize probably where he is rain and wind do not help it can mix up a cat's senses on a regular day let alone a hse cat who's never been an outside before. The winds are getting severe, in the clouds are getting grayer I'm extremely worried that he is going to get hit by a car, we're getting to a fight with another cat. But I remind you that he's also not neutered so he's a lot likely to get into fights and add to the kitten population issue. The cat was originally not mine so it was the other owners original mistake of not getting him neutered in finances have been rough but again he's never escaped before. I've tried everything so please if you have seen him or think you might have seen him please let me know

Please read till the end..Walk around calling your cat as you always do. Look under bushes and in hiding places. Look at dawn and dusk with a flashlight to catch the glare of your cat's eyes. Leave garage door and lanai partially open if possible. Your cat will try to get back inside ..most likely at night. Use a trap...The only way to find his way home.or to the trap is by smell. Use some of your used clothes, put them outside and around the trap. A friend of mine used her shirt and dragged it through the neighborhood. Her cat found the smell and followed it home. It is all about the smell. You can also cut a shirt of yours into small small pieces and leave a scent trail back to the trap. I read a few days ago that a lady put out a trace with the old litter throughout the neighborhood. It worked. Her cat came home! Use the litter to lead your cat to the trap. Also try to distribute flyers throughout that neighborhood...as many as you can ( 3 miles radius at least). Check shelters in person...don't just call. Put battery operated trail cameras or motion cameras (Amazon for $25) outside. Your cat might show up in the middle of the night. When you know the time you can wait for for your cat and slow blink to make contact. NEVER GIVE UP! I read once that you can put a chair outside and cover it up with a blanket and the cat can jump up and hide under the blanket and feels safe. They said you should put one of your shirts under the blanket and food and water next to the chair. It might be worth a try to put up a chair

Put your unwashed clothing items, kitty’s toys, blanket and gym shoes by your door. Jack will pick up the scent and help him get home.

Lost Cat Recovery Checklist Immediate Actions ■ Start searching close to where she got out (cats usually hide nearby). ■ Check high & low hiding spots: under cars, porches/decks, shrubs, garages, sheds. ■ Ask neighbors to check open garages/sheds and closed spaces before shutting doors. Best Times to Search ■ Search during quiet/dark hours (best: 12am–7am, especially 1–6am). ■ Use a strong flashlight at night to spot eye reflection. Calling & Approaching ■ Call for her during still hours (overnight/early morning). ■ If you see her: stay calm and quiet (don’t chase). Scent Lures (Safe Options) ■ Put outside: her bed/blanket or your unwashed clothing/bedding. ■ Place scent items near the trap and/or leading toward the door. ■ Do NOT place a litter box outside (can attract predators such as coyotes). Food / Feeding Station ■ Set up a feeding station and feed during the day only. ■ Do NOT leave food out overnight (attracts wildlife & scares cats off). Humane Trap (Highly Recommended) ■ Get a live/humane trap ASAP. ■ Use food only inside the trap (don’t leave food elsewhere). ■ Cover trap with a tarp/blanket for safety and comfort. ■ Check trap frequently—never leave it unattended overnight. ■ In harsh weather: check every 30 minutes. Outreach (Very Important) ■ Post flyers around the neighborhood with phone number (day/night contact). ■ Bring flyers to local vets, shelters (go in person every few days if possible), and pet stores. ■ Tell your mail carrier (they notice roaming pets). ■ Ask known stray feeders/rescuers if they’ve seen her. Mindset ■ Keep checking at different times daily. ■ Don’t give up—cats can be found weeks or months later
