Message from Owner

Hi everyone! My boyfriend’s cat, Winston, went missing last night (November 3rd) near Cardinal Ln. He’s very friendly and extremely food-motivated, so he may come up to you if approached. He used to be a stray, so he may have wandered a little farther from home than expected. If you see him or have any information, please call. Any help sharing or keeping an eye out would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Lost Cat Recovery Checklist Immediate Actions ■ Start searching close to where she got out (cats usually hide nearby). ■ Check high & low hiding spots: under cars, porches/decks, shrubs, garages, sheds. ■ Ask neighbors to check open garages/sheds and closed spaces before shutting doors. Best Times to Search ■ Search during quiet/dark hours (best: 12am–7am, especially 1–6am). ■ Use a strong flashlight at night to spot eye reflection. Calling & Approaching ■ Call for her during still hours (overnight/early morning). ■ If you see her: stay calm and quiet (don’t chase). Scent Lures (Safe Options) ■ Put outside: her bed/blanket or your unwashed clothing/bedding. ■ Place scent items near the trap and/or leading toward the door. ■ Do NOT place a litter box outside (can attract predators such as coyotes). Food / Feeding Station ■ Set up a feeding station and feed during the day only. ■ Do NOT leave food out overnight (attracts wildlife & scares cats off). Humane Trap (Highly Recommended) ■ Get a live/humane trap ASAP. ■ Use food only inside the trap (don’t leave food elsewhere). ■ Cover trap with a tarp/blanket for safety and comfort. ■ Check trap frequently—never leave it unattended overnight. ■ In harsh weather: check every 30 minutes. Outreach (Very Important) ■ Post flyers around the neighborhood with phone number (day/night contact). ■ Bring flyers to local vets, shelters (go in person every few days if possible), and pet stores. ■ Tell your mail carrier (they notice roaming pets). ■ Ask known stray feeders/rescuers if they’ve seen her. Mindset ■ Keep checking at different times daily. ■ Don’t give up—cats can be found weeks or months later

They're based out of Baltimore, with many qualified, certified trackers throughout the area. They have 20 years of success and experience reuniting lost pets, including cats. They work very carefully so as not to scare the kitty. ❤

Put something outside that has a heavy sent of his hoomans, tshirt, socks, dirty laundry..and something that has his heavy scent on it, blanket, tower, bed, etc. I don't recommend putting the litter box outside bc it attracts strays and the occasional skunk that might scare him away. Prayers for his safe return 🐾💕🙏

Cats are very smart, put his litter box and food and article of clothing so he can smell, prayers he'll come back, if he's been a stray before then he'll have great instincts 👍
