Message from Owner

Fynbos is 6.5 years old. He’s an indoor cat. He bolted from our home and isn’t outdoor savvy. He is afraid of people. He has been missing for 30 hours and has not touched any food we have put outside for him. He must be so frightened.There have been no sightings. We are devastated and his older brother is missing him terribly.

I've been through this few times. I had to go out during quiet times of the night and early morning with a flashlight and his favorite treats to shake and call fir him softly. I've crawl into crawl spaces and found one there hiding behind cinder blocks. I to actually pick him up. He would not come to me. His sister would both times. Another was watching us looking for her hiding under a neighbor's car. Another was under a low deck. Another was in some bushes again just watching us, not a perp. My flashlight caught her eyes. All different cats.

Lost cats Search for him using a flashlight. He will be frightened and will hid. He also might not respond to your calling him. A flashlight will reflect in his eyes, allowing you to see him in dark spaces. Use it day and night.

Put a box on your porch with something with your scent, such as a blanket or some towels, a bowl of water and a catnip toy and go outside and call your cat Morning noon night and Overnight go out right now 5:51 PM. Your cat is scared. They don’t know where to go could be in a garage could be in an engine if the windows open to the car maybe they’re in the car in the Raptors next-door the neighbors let your neighbors know . Give them a description. Also, call the police in your area. Call the shelters and rescues to let them know your cats missing in case someone turns it in give them a phone number so they know who to call also tomorrow you can call vet veterinary offices in case you don’t find your cat . Sometimes it takes a while. The cat doesn’t know where it is and it’s hides and it doesn’t know how to get back sometimes so have somebody go for a walk and call your cat make sure you have something with you that you can either put on your cat or your put your cat in to get at home . Don’t stop calling Morning noon and night go out there and call your cat. Good luck 💖

My heart goes out to you. I have been through it myself. Here are some tips I've put together over years of working with rescue. * Don't wait for him/her to come home. Yes, he/she may do that, but most cats are scared and go hiding in small places, mostly close to home, a few houses or a block away. (They can go a few miles if chased or desperate, mostly in desperation looking for water and food.) They hide under cars, decks, patios, porches, in sheds, drain pipes, stairs, window wells, garages, bushes, woods, up trees, roofs, etc. Walk around calling their name, shaking a treat bag or favorite toy with bell. Carry smelly food to encourage them if scared and hiding. Listen very, very carefully for low meows. Use a flashlight to catch and reflect their eyes. A good time to go looking is twilight and very early morning/pre-dawn, when it’s quiet and calm so they may feel safer to come out and it’s also feeding time. * Talk to and alert everyone you know and that lives in your vicinity, as well as local businesses. Notify and check with animal control/shelters/humane societies (MADACC in Milwaukee county) and local veterinary offices. Post on and check lost sites, such as Lost Cats of Wisconsin (file your report there to create your FREE flyer and a post on Pet FBI ), Nextdoor, various community FB pages, Craig's List. Post flyers on corners/posts, in front of your home, and with neighbors, businesses, and anyone in the vicinity. * Put out a carrier or something right outside your door for shelter and safety. Place clothing/blankets with a familiar scent, yours and/or theirs, inside or nearby. * Searching, go out a few blocks, then back close, then out farther and back close. You may miss the cat or the cat may move or may not be meowing. Repeat over and over, looking carefully on the ground for paw prints and for places they might hide. * If you have a garage, leave open with smelly food favorites, water, clothing/blankets with familiar scent, their old litter box in garage. If you have a family dog who is close to the cat, give the dog something with the cat’s scent and then a treat; and then go walking around, watching your dog very carefully. You can even do this with another cat close to home, if you have a cat harness and leash. * Get or borrow a humane live animal trap and set it up with tuna or some other smelly cat food. Be sure to check it frequently. But in extreme weather, do not set it unless you can monitor it constantly and bring in immediately if caught. * And never stop looking! Never give up! Too many give up too soon. It may take weeks or more before you find and/or someone turns in your cat to an animal shelter. Make sure to contact and also GO IN PERSON to your local shelter/humane society (MADACC in Milwaukee county) to look at all of the cats they have there. Don’t rely on just pictures or the person answering the phone to have all updated info on who they have there. They do their best, but you need to check in person on a regular basis.
