If you live near Portola/Native Spring or Arrowhead please let me know if you find him. He’s mostly an indoor cat but knows the neighborhood pretty well. I would appreciate any information to help me get my baby back home. Thank you so much.

Thank you all for your comments, I’ve now posted him on Facebook, Instagram, Ring, Nextdoor, Pawboost, and am printing flyers to post up while I continue looking around for him. Thank you all so much please help me pray to get him back home safely. He’s outdoors routinely so he knows his way back home I’m just worried since his AirTag and tufts of fur were found on the community pool fence. I’m hoping the AirTag just got stuck and the collar broke free since he has the break free one to avoid it choking him if he were to get trapped somewhere

Thank you! I’ve been walking around all day/night and notifying neighbors. Unfortunately his collar was left behind near the community pool fence with some tufts of fur I’m really hoping he’s alive 😔

Ask neighbors if he may be trapped in their garage or shed, and check on other nearby streets, especially in the evening with a flashlight, calling out to him and making a familiar sound. If he’s still wearing the AirTag, continue to track him with your iPhone using the Find My app. I hope he is found soon🙏🏻

Keep calling the Irvine animal shelter. Someone may drop your cat off there. It may be in a few days so don’t give up just keep contacting them.

Urgent You must use every spare second you have to look for your cat. Indoor cats are very afraid to be outside. They are usually very close to home hiding under bushes or something. Please go to all your neighbors and ask them if you can check their backyards and their garages Cats have been known to hide in their neighbors backyards and in their neighbors garages. It is critical and most important that you post hundreds of flyers everywhere. Post them on all lamp posts and stop signs for miles and miles. I’ve heard several stories where people have seen the flyers, saw the cat roaming and called the owners. Make sure you do this immediately and use duct tape. Scotch tape is flimsy and the flyers fall down. Please make sure these flyers are up every day. They can save your cats life. If the gardeners take them down, put them back up. It is critical also that you call your shelter several times while your cat is lost and ask if someone has dropped your cat off there. Fax a flyer of your cat to them. Also, when it gets dark out at night, please get out with the flashlight look everywhere for your cat and call its name. Bring cat food. Listen for it meows. Not everyone is on Facebook so please post daily on all lost pet sites and nextdoor.com. Your neighborhood watch. Make sure your post is up every day. Someone may find your cat. Walk for blocks sometimes cats roam blocks away and can be in someone’s yard. Call your Cat’s name get everyone you know to get out and look for your cat. I pray you get your baby back as soon as possible. Keep your garage door cracked open.

Daniela Martinez Lost Cats‼️ Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Try to stay low, standing is intimidating to cats. Place some dirty socks and pillow cases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for her to get in. DO NOT leave food or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be ed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take months to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of her eyes. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a methodical search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum they can snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. In addition to posted flyers, make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Some people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. a lot of people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap closely, predators can a cat in a trap.
