Message from Owner

💔 MISSING CAT — PLEASE HELP US FIND SIDNEY 💔 Our sweet girl Sidney is missing, and we are heartbroken and desperately hoping to bring her home. Sidney is a gray tabby with incredibly soft fur. She is a very sweet, gentle girl and is deeply loved by our family. ❤️ We’re asking our neighbors to please keep an eye out and check around your property — especially garages, sheds, bushes, underneath decks or patio furniture, and other small or quiet places where she may have become frightened and hidden. Please don’t assume that a gray tabby you see couldn’t be her. If you spot a cat who looks anything like Sidney, please take a photo if you can and contact us, even if you’re unsure. Any sighting could help. We miss her terribly and just want our sweet girl home safe. 🐾❤️

Lost Cats‼️ Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Try to stay low, standing is intimidating to cats. Place some dirty socks and pillow cases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for her to get in. DO NOT leave food or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be killed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take months to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of her eyes. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a methodical search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum they can snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. In addition to posted flyers, make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Some people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. a lot of people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap closely, predators can a cat in a trap.
