Message from Owner

Please help me find my baby. Any information would be helpful. If you're local, please check your cameras for any footage of a black&white cat or evidence of coyotes in the immediate vicinity to grant me some closure. Thank you so much.

Also if your area has had fireworks the cat is in a 'flight or fright mode' - scared from all the noise. A pet tracker has noted in a post that during this time of year - firework time - pets usually stay put for a few days after the noise level has stopped and then once they feel safe would venture out to try and make it home. All the best - as he is a beautiful cat.

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.
