Message from Owner

Salem’s cat-brother hasn’t been apart of our family a day without Salem and is visibly distraught without him. Salem ALWAYS greets us on the porch every morning and evening and always comes running when he hears his food bowls being filled. We think he got stuck/lost during the bad storm we got Friday 8/28, we haven’t since him since right before the storm. His family is worried sick about him and miss their sweet boy desperately.

I work downtown and we saw a black cat outside in our courtyard yesterday afternoon. We NEVER see cats outside of our office, and we know most of our downtown neighbors' pets. I went outside and called "hey kee kee" and did some pspspsps, but the cat looked at me and promptly skedaddled. I didnt have anything crinkly or remotely cat-related to lure it with. I don't know if this was your cat or not, I couldn't get close enough to determine gender or even eye color. But our courtyard is 129 Magnolia St--this is a pretty long shot from the last known / seen address that was listed, but a straight shot down that road, basically. I'll be sure to keep my eyes open for it today. Fingers crossed Salem comes home soon.

Unlike dogs, who run when frightened, cats tend to hide quietly when scared or injured, often not meowing when called. Cats are often found close by so a physical search is often successful. Most cats are found within about 250 yards radius, indoor-only cats within about 25 yards radius. Please put out kitty’s bed, and item of your clothing/pillow case/etc with your scent. Check with neighbors with photos of your cat because sometimes they get shut in garages or sheds accidentally. In the later evening walk the neighborhood, especially with someone to chat with. Walk a few steps and then stop and listen. If you have a treat pkg that makes crinkle sound, take it with and when you stop, shake the bag or make a crinkle sound. Your cat can hear and recognize familiar sounds like your voice from a good distance and may be able to track you home. Also, call from your porch etc several times a day, while shaking treat bag and/or tapping cat food can with a fork! Check up in trees as cats often seek safety in high places. Use a flashlight at dusk/dark to look for glowing eyes; put up flyers; post to the app Nextdoor and/or Craigslist. Personally check your local shelter every couple days instead of calling, if possible. Animals are brought in constantly. Stray animals are available for adoption after a short time. Plus you know your pet best! They probably look/act differently in a shelter environment. If your pet is microchipped, please make sure your contact info is always up to date. If need be, you can update it even when your pet is missing. And still check shelters in person as microchips can sometimes fall out or travel to other parts of the animal’s body. Put a lost pet sign up in your front yard. This is in case someone finds him and drives through the neighborhood to locate his home. If you have a gate that kitty might have trouble getting back through, keep it open as often as you can until kitty returns. Praying your baby comes home soon. Searching at night with a flashlight and calling her name in your normal voice, not yelling it out, is good. Also the eyes will glow if and when the light hits them. Leave out some personal clothing with your or her scent on it. Hope your baby is home inside very soon ❤️
