💖🐱Dear guardian 💖🐱 Cats will remain for months and months and months doing their best to adapt and survive…don’t give up on your furry baby - we are all praying for you...don't give up...Put up more flyers a few blocks out to be sure (in case there is a territorial cat keeping kitty away) ...I encourage you to talk to your neighbors AGAIN to remind them your kitty is still missing and that you need thier help to keep an eye out and to keep checking their RING camera footage... Every morning I get texts from people who find their cats while calling for them after 10pm at night..please continue to call for your cat and/or make that noise that kitty is familiar with whether it's keys jingling or treat bag crinkles or simply your calm voice...it may seem hopeless to do this but I am telling you - cover all possibilities 💖🐱 everything you do helps! It's checking ONLINE DAILY at all the nearby shelters in case he gets trapped by someone and going to the shelters and checking the shelters in your area IN PERSON every 4 or 5 days (some cats are NOT posted online at the shelters!) Post up more flyers and talking to neighbors - delivering flyers to each residence...And keep checking your motion camera pointed at wet food and water bowl daily. If you don't have one - I emplore you to get a motion activated camera and put out food/water every day... So many cases guardians are ready to give up then they finally put the camera out there (whether wifi to your phone or WILD LIFE camera with batteries no wifi) and after some days or a week they will Spot their cat - after being gone for weeks or months...spotting kitty eating the food changes everything and so many people discover this with the camera - then sometime they have to actually TRAP their cat who is in a scared, survival mode and hides from their guardians...cats are survivors and once they are back inside they go back to being your normal sweet cozy loving kitty. I didn't know about using cameras 1st year I was helping people and now I use it in every case (for disabled or seniors who can't walk around) it's a HUGE help and again this is to cover all possibilities...sending you love and hope oxoxo💖🙏 ...Many cats are found months after they've gone missing...don't stop taking action....... assume everything and take action to make sure every option is considered...replace worn flyers...remind neighbors to check bats /crawl spaces or better yet - allow YOU to...she may only meow when you call her nearby where she is stuck..and it might have to be at night!. If kitty is approachable someone may have brought your cat inside or to a shelter so you must also check the shelter every few days IN PERSON (not all cats are shown online!) and adding flyers in the neighborhood and going door to door is KEY in spreading the word to the exact people who COULD SPOT her! I'm so sorry for all you must be going through ...Sending you LOVE and HOPE and unwavering DETERMINATION🐱🙏💖

💖🐱💜💜💜Dear guardian. We are all praying for you.... 'Lost cat Alan' on Pawboost was reunited after 129 days! His guardians wouldn’t give up and didn’t stop searching …hoping to give you a boost of energy and inspiration to not give up....... PRINT more flyers to post up on lampposts beyond your block and replace the ones on your block if the old ones are worn .... put new flyers in the "clear sheet protectors" with the opening facing down so they last …(previous post shows example - you can buy at fedex print store, target, staples or amazon) TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBORS AGAIN - yes going door to door to remind your dear neighbors that your cat is still missing and you are needing their help to spot kitty more than ever - people have short memories - they DO need to be reminded. Talk to dog walkers on your street - they are outside at all times and have helped me spot lost kitties I was helping with many times....It's never a waste of time talking to neighbors ..the more eyes you have the better...ask them to take a photo and call text you any hour of the night - and not to approach Kitty or they might scare him. CONTINUE TO CALL FOR KITTY at night and early mornings 10pm-6am..set your alarm for 1am, 3am 5am and call calmly with stinky wet food...walk around the block and call for kitty as you walk BACK LEADING HOME ...NOT leading AWAY from home. ***PLACE A CAMERA *** motion activated with night vision - pointed at bowl with wet food (and water) near outside the door and review camera footage daily - you can't believe how many times a cat will return home and has no way of getting back inside and/or the owners stops going out at night so the cat disappears back into the night...or the cat just remains outside even with the door slightly open (in a survival mode) This has happened recently in multiple cases where a guardian catches their cat on camera after weeks of no sightings …then they either end up going out during the same time every night or they end having to humanely trap their cat because kitty kept running away from the owner. (once back inside the survival mode turns off and they are back to being purry cozy kitty) Place wet food out with a camera (that will snap images or video upon movement) you may see other cats, raccoons and other creatures eat the food..that's ok...keep refilling the WET food as he may turn up one of these nights - I’ve done this many times and always SO happy I did because the camera gives the hope you need! (raccoons LOVE dry cat food so wet food is better) you can buy motion sensor camera on amazon over night - connect to wifi...OR a wild life camera with playback feature (battery operated - no wifi needed) . Once kitty is spotted on camera or by your neighbor then you can sent a HUMANE CAT TRAP - which must be monitored every single second it is ‘set’. You can RENT a trap from the SPCA or borrow a trap - ask folks on Nextdoor (cat owners group) if anyone has a trap you can borrow (If you live in SF I have one to lend you) Sometimes cats are caught on camera eating and NOT coming inside even when the guardian has left the door open..some cats stay in a kind of survival mode (like a switch was flipped) which helps them survive but sometimes gets in the way with them returning inside on their own. It could take days/weeks to get them on camera but once they find this source of food they will return…and some nights it will be different cats or raccoons…they all watch each other from afar…once caught on camera you can set a trap and monitor it from a distance making sure you don’t trap another creature. WiFI Camera with night vision example https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07Z841XYD?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_TXPMEVSKHVVCW2PBGK0C WIldlife camera (wifi not needed) / requires eight AA batteries: You have to manually check footage https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B099F54JJ4?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_T6Y056KTG9ZEENJKTW79 💜💜💜💜CONTINUE TO CHECK your local animals shelters ONLINE DAILY and 24hourpetconnect, pawboost online daily for FOUND cats. VISIT IN PERSON the shelter’s closest to you every 5 days.. There are SO many FOUND cats brought in every single day. Some are not displyaed online this is why you have to physically go in and check. MANY lost cats are reunited long after a month. Many cats end up at a shelter after their guardian has unfortunately stopped checking and that is just heart breaking.💜💜💜💜 Don’t stop searching...keep posting updates on Nextdoor and pawboost sending you LOVE , determination and sustained hope ..xoxo Damia Foti🐱🙏💖 650-339-6619

Dear guardian I'm so sorry you have-not found your sweet angel. Kitty could be at a next door neighbors yard not returning in survival mode just today Lost cat Catherine's owner shared how she found her kitty in neighbors yard she had gone back at night to find her! Gaining access to neighbors yards may be KEY in finding your sweet angel...I'm so sorry she isn't home yet🙏💖🐱 dont give up and keep taking action...Im still confused about the different zip codes...whereveer she was 'lost' she will remain VERY NEAR even weeks later..this is what cats generally do in new territories / unknown places... hoping to inspire you not frustrate you...messages are coming from love, deep in my heart as I know the pain of losing a furry family member and setting up a camera at whatever location she was lost with food and water is extremely helpful ...it's how Iv'e been able to find many cats where the guardian assumed kitty was gone gone...but the cat was coming to eat then running off to hiding spot...in survival mode...the idea is to cover all possibilities since we aren't sure if stuck or hiding ...just because you dont see or hear kitty doesn't mean she's not around. Prayers to you dear neighbor🐱💖🙏

Don't give up...keep calling for her at night when it's quiet and you might be able to hear her meow. I am happy to talk to you over the phone if it's easier...I saw you posted on lost my doggie not sure if you mean to do that. Have you been calling for her at night..have you knocked on neighbors doors and given each neighbor around your block and across the street asking neighbors to check their garages, sheds, crawl spaces..anywhere a tiny cat could hide? It is the combination of doing several things at the same time..leaving the 'escape' door 5" open ...litter box outside.. food and water with a camera in case she is not stuck in a garage.. I'm still confused why you have 3 zip codes on this listing and the lost my doggie listening...your indoor cat will be on your block...I've been helping finding lost cats for a long time. They don't keep running..they hide VERY CLOSE and remain there for weeks and weeks..it's still early...you can find her...re-read my 2 posts below and follow the guidance! It works..dont' stop taking action - xoxoxo damia Foti 650-339-6619
