Message from Owner

Hello, I’m a Rutgers student, and I’m desperately looking for my cat, Mama, who went missing after the apmt fire at 88 Louis Street. Mama had an AirTag on her, but unfortunately, it lost connection after the fire. One of my cats was able to survive and make it out of the apmt, and I strongly believe Mama may have also escaped and is still somewhere in the area. Mama is a very strong cat, and I truly believe she is still out there. My family and I are extremely worried about her and are hoping that someone may have seen her or come across her. She should be somewhere around the Louis Street area. If you see a cat who looks like Mama, please do not chase her. If possible, take a picture, note the exact location, and contact me immediately. Please keep an eye out around the neighborhood, under cars, porches, bushes, garages, and other places she may be hiding. She could be scared and injured after everything she went through. Her name is Mama, and she is deeply loved. ❤️‍🩹 I just want to know that she is safe and bring her home. Please share this post so we can get Mama home. Thank you so much for any help.

Lost cat video https://youtu.be/g2eCoC63B9I?si=Ldj6B_9GsedoYWrQ In your search bar on fb or YouTube type in: How to find a lost cat or copy and paste the link I gave you into fb or YouTube. Do everything you can that it says to in the video you will find there. These things have to be done where you lost the cat, where the cat got out from. And you have to watch the trap. Also, make flyers, put in sealed baggies with the zip downward and closed so moisture can’t get in..and walk thru the shelters local Rutgers police and people bring strays to, in person to look thru weekly.

Try getting a humane trap. They work well. You can often buy one or some shelters rent them out. Bait with yummy food like tuna. Daytime may be best so you don’t trap wildlife or have a trapped cat defenseless from wildlife. Usually cover with a blanket and have a trail of the food leading up to the trap

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.

Go around late at night calling them with food and flashlight to catch their eyes. Check around your neighborhood under houses and in small places where they may hide. Put stuff out that has yours and their scent on it. Mainly their litter box and sprinkle their used litter around the yard as they'll recognize the smell and it'll deter other animals from coming around. Hang flyers around for people to see. Check shelters and vets daily. Update chip info if they have a chip and its has not been update since a move. Ask neighbors to check in their garages incase they ended up trapped in one and to check their cameras in case they appeared on them to get a sense of direction they could be. I pray you get your baby back safe and soon.

Here are some suggestions to help find your baby…… indoor cats are in survival mode and are frightened, they will hide……and hide very well so PLEASE check everywhere often…especially at night. Report it to ANIMAL CONTROL as well as Vets and SHELTERS with a picture in case they are brought in injured or for a chip check. Include Groomers and Pet Stores Put up lots and lots of FLYERS!!! Give to neighbors, attach to mailboxes, put up at stores, library, grocery stores everywhere! Give to your postal carrier they see animals all the time!! Sit outside and read a book out loud, the sound of your voice can lure him/her back if he’s close by. Drag his/her bedding around the area of your home. Please create a free account at petfbi.org/report.html This account will send out an alert that s/he is missing, and send you an alert if anyone were to report a cat found near that location. That account could help get your cat back home too. Put on Facebook lost pets page in your town/state etc..and on your local town page!! Check trees, under, in and behind things in your yard and others often. Make your neighbors aware. Please check yours and neighbor’s garages, sheds, porches, barns, basements and under and in vehicles, Cats like to come out @ night so leave A LIGHT ON THE PORCH WITH FOOD and IT'S BEDDING near a CRACKED OPENED DOOR OR WINDOW FOR ENTRY.... NEVER put out litter boxes as it could be used by another cat which could DETER return or attract predators. Use a camera or baby monitor to watch for his /her return, using a havaheart trap with tuna to catch them as well as an unlaundered piece of your laundry. If u put food out be very careful and monitor very closely as it can attract predators. You can borrow a trap from animal control or cat rescue. The ACO or a rescue can help u on how to trap a cat. U must never leave trap unattended. If there are sightings set up a feeding station and camera at sighting area, then when he is spotted on camera you can trap him. It can be helpful to use a flashlight at night to spot its eyes! Look around shrubs, under cars, decks, porches, in garages, sheds, up in trees, in yours and neighbor’s yards. Calling for it several times a day and shaking treats, indoor cats can become disoriented. Calling out helps in RECOGNIZING YOUR VOICE AND DIRECTION! Your cat is in survival mode and may not act as they usually did, he is afraid. Please DO NOT give up! Continue to check & recheck EVERYWHERE. Monitor Facebook, Craigslist and Nextdoor sites for found cats. Cats have been found several years after. Don’t give up, keep the faith and keep looking!!! Put cameras outside, leave door open at night, and contact a cat rescue or www.wanderingpawsk9.com a reputable pet tracker to help you.
