Message from Owner

Ernie is a strictly indoor cat who has gotten out of the hse on Thursday 06/08/2026 at 6:30pm, when I opened the back sliding door to put the bins out. I ran after him but he got scared, jumped to the front yard and eventually disappeared. On Friday 07/08/2026 at 1:30 pm. Our diagonally behind neighbour found Ernie in his back yard, behind his shed. We tried to capture him however he was so scared that he ran away, jumped into the neighbour’s front yard and ran up the street. The next day, on Saturday 08/08/2026 at 5 am, our front camera picked up Ernie walking past our driveway at 15 Dahlia Crescent, Keysborough VIC 3173, and through towards our next door neighbour at 17 Dahlia Crescent. He hasn’t been seen since then. If Ernie is seen in Keysborough, please contact me on. He is extremely scared of people and so it is best not to approach him.

I’m sorry your cat is missing. 💔 The following suggestions may help you find your cat, they have worked for me in the past: Try approaching your neighbors. Put up posters. Leaflet neighborhood if possible at least 1-2 streets on either-side of yours, that’s how my missing cat was identified on a neighbor’s property. Go door knocking, at least 3-4 properties on either side of yours and across the road and street behind. Speak to those neighbours and personally deliver a leaflet of your missing cat to them. Your neighbours may pay more attention if you speak with them. Ask your neighbours if any CCTV footage may have been captured of your cat, this can be really helpful in tracking your cat’s movements. Contact local vets, pounds and shelters. Post on other Facebook Lost pet/cat sites for more exposure. Your cat will be close by, from personal experience, one of my missing cat’s was located at my next door neighbor’s house and another time several years ago, my cat was just one street away. If you haven't already done so, make sure to report your cat missing with the microchip company where their microchip is registered to, that's how my cat was found and prevented a stranger from changing ownership of her. The best advice I can offer is to go out every night and search for your missing cat after dark, as this is often when you’ll have the most success. Call their name late at night or in the early hours of the morning, when everything is quiet and your cat can hear you more easily. Try going out between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., and take a strong torch with you. If possible, go out twice during the night at different times. In many cases, lost cats are hiding very close-by, sometimes just next door or a few houses away. This method has worked for me before. I hope you’re reunited with your kitty soon ❤️🙏🏼

Knock on neighbours doors and put out flyers everywhere. Do offer rewards. Also go out in the night. You can hear him better then. Check the pounds too. Airtags on collars help greatly.

Sarah Fulford yeah he is microchipped and the microchip details are up to date. I’ve been doing night time and early morning walks with a torch and packet of dry food, but nothing as of yet.
