🚨 MISSING CAT – BUFFALO GROVE – PLEASE HELP US FIND OPAL 🚨 Our beloved cat Opal has been missing for over 48 hours and we are desperately trying to bring her home. 💔 📍 Last seen: Near Katherine Court & Forestway Drive in Buffalo Grove, behind Buffalo Grove High School. 🐱 OPAL: Female, gray/white with some peach coloring, green eyes. She is microchipped. She had recently gotten her AirTag off, so unfortunately we cannot track her. PLEASE check your garages, sheds, underneath decks, bushes, window wells and other small hiding places. We are especially worried she may have gotten into a garage or sheltered area during the storms and become trapped. 📹 If you live anywhere near this area and have a Ring, Nest or other security camera, PLEASE check your footage, especially overnight and early morning. Even a brief sighting could tell us which direction she traveled. If you see her, please let us know. Take a photo/video if possible and contact us immediately. We have contacted local police, shelters and her microchip company, gone door-to-door, notified neighbors and are searching day and night. PLEASE SHARE. Someone may have seen our girl without realizing how desperately her family is looking for her. 😭💔 📱 CALL/TEXT: OPAL, COME HOME!! Your family misses you. ❤️🐾

Try Going out late at night ie midnight and again early am ie 5 or 6 am with their smelly food and treats. Shake treat bag and call out their name. Take a flashlight and check under porches and bushes. Also if you can leave a basement window and garage door open so they can get in. Do for multiple days if needed. Good luck. Kitties don’t usually go far from home

Please place its bedding 🛏 outside, along with the owner's unwashed clothing👚👖 front and back door 🚪with a contents of tuna can 🐟 on each entrance, you can leave your garage door a bit open as well. In case it comes in that way. And leaving food there as well...supervise food outdoors. Also vaccumed home 🧹dirt in a stocking hanging it in front and back of home🏡 enterence . You can also add some catnip 🌱in a stocking hanging by your entrances. Show your neighbors 🖼picture of the🐈 cat. 10 houses to the ⬅️ left 10 house🏡 to the right➡️ front ⬆️ and back⬇️ if they spot him to give you a call ☎️ immediately. Also, you can put up a Sign post 🪧with your 🐱📷 picture. In front of your 🏡lawn and to call you or contact you ASAP. Go early ⏰️ in the ☀️morning and shake treats calling the cats name when things are quiet.. Tell neighbors to check their sheds and garage.Just in case it's trapped..
