Message from Owner

We were forced out of our home by police actions against our landlord. We were able to take Tiger in the truck as we left heading north 14 miles to a new place to park our trailer. Stopped at the gas station and she escaped like a shot the moment my husband opened the door. There had been no time to grab her crate. It took over 20 minutes but we got her to come back. Just as she got near to my side, the convenience store manager came and started yelling at us, saying we’d been there too long. Tiger got scared and ran, but we had to leave because he was calling the police! Terrified, we left and at first my husband wouldn’t go back. Two days later we walked along the road calling and then again in a few days. Tiger is very self-reliant and very shy. She would rarely allow anyone near enough to touch her tho she was friendly. I can imagine she found shelter in the woods, gave birth and fed herself with birds & mice or perhaps was brave and approached someone who took her in, I pray for this, but oh how we miss her and I cry almost everyday. We wish it was not so far to drive because we can’t afford the gas now. She was the most sweet, loyal and beatific kitty I’ve ever known. If anyone sees her I know that if you shake a bag of cat treats, she will definitely come near. Then please call me, I will come running!! Susan

For her people: I hope your kitty is safe and home soon. ❤️ Here are some potentially helpful tips—please forgive if you’ve already tried some or if anything doesn’t apply to your situation. ✅ General Tips for Any Lost Cat: - Search indoors thoroughly first—cats 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 by—often hiding silently within just 1–2 houses. Even outdoor-savvy cats may not go far when lost. - Avoid calling loudly or chasing—lost 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 watching—many 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 trap—especially 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. 🏠 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 inviting—many cats return when the environment feels safe and familiar again. 📍 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. - Don’t search too widely or bring large groups—too much activity can keep a cat in hiding longer. - If you’ve had sightings or suspect they’re nearby, use a trap or feeding station. It may take time for a frightened cat to build up the courage to return. 💛 Lost cats often remain close and hidden for days, even weeks. Many return quietly once things feel calm and safe again. Please don’t give up hope.
