Message from Owner

🚨 MISSING CAT - AUGUST 🚨 I'm desperately looking for my cat, August. She is a gray and black tabby with dark stripes, a lighter-colored belly and chin, and a pink nose. She has been part of our family for 9 years, and I'm extremely worried about her. I've searched the entire apmt complex multiple times and have left food outside, but I still haven't been able to find her. With all of the cold, rainy weather we've been having, I'm especially concerned for her safety and well-being. If anyone in the Forbus Street/Poughkeepsie area has seen her, even briefly, please message me or comment below. Please check under porches, bushes, sheds, stairwells, garages, and anywhere a scared cat might be hiding. Even if you think you've seen a cat that looks similar, please let me know. I just want my baby home safe. Thank you so much for sharing and keeping an eye out. ❤️ Photo of August below. 🐾 Please do not chase her if seen, as she may be frightened.

Follow these tips Cat rescue tips for finding your lost indoor cat! Cat rescue tips for indoor cats that have escaped . If your cat has escaped and not familiar with the outside world, he/she is 99% of the time hiding right outside in your backyard or neighbors yard. When they get out, they get nervous and make a B line for the quickest place to find shelter/cover. Put outside his/her bedding, or your worn clothing for the scent so your cat can smell its way back to the house. You can even sprinkle vacuum dust. It will have his or her hair /scent in it. Also, it’s very important to get in those bushes, woods etc around your house and search for him/her. Cats are great at staying stealth quiet and staying in place for days out of fear , everything and everyone is a danger right now, including you. During the day, put out its favorite stinky food, or tuna/sardines etc and water so your cat doesn’t stray for food. What works best, is at night, take a strong flashlight and look for your cat in the bushes with the flashlight. If he/she is there, you will see his/her eyes with the reflection of the light. And don’t forget to look up in the trees. It could have been chased by a coyote or bobcat and it ran up the tree. I’ve heard this happen a few times. Their cats were hiding in the trees! And, if all of that doesn’t work you can set a trap ( have a heart trap you can buy at Home Depot or ask your local animal control to borrow one) and put a blanket or some of your worn clothing in it with food!! You can also get a wildlife tracker camera from Amazon or any sporting goods store. The camera will show any movement at night and if your cat is there you will see it at night on that camera and this can help you pinpoint its location Also, if there is a lot of rain, please make scent trails for your cat around the exterior of your house. And Another tip, call your cats name calmly at night, when it’s quiet, try sitting outside, shake treat bags too. ( but do this when it’s quiet out) cats tend to move around at night when there is no noise . Also, ask your neighbors to check their garages, sheds, under decks etc. It’s also very important to create flyers and put them around town in people’s mailboxes too. Keep your cat’s photo out there on social media, so people remember.

Is she spayed? Does she have a microchip?
