Message from Owner

I’m looking for my indoor kitty Junior who may have slipped off balcony railing and gotten scared and lost. He’s about 10months old and very petite. He has a face that kind of resembles a cheetah and is brown tabby colored. He is indoor only besides access to second floor patio. He is very loved and missed!

Most indoor cats will stay very close to home, but they will go into hiding because they go into survival mode, especially during the day. If it’s at all possible for you to put some recently worn clothing, bedding, a cat tree, if your cat has one near a open door window or garage where the cat will have access to return home, they usually will do it between midnight and 3 AM in the morning. Do not put a litter box out because that will attract other predators such as coyotes, raccoons, skunks, etc. keeping your cat in hiding. That’s why they bury their pee and poop even when outside or in their litter box to hide their scent .At night time, you can also take a flashlight looking under cars in trees and bushes Taking with you a bag of treats if your cat is treat motivated, calling its name softly staying low to the ground, shaking the bag and using the flashlight to possibly light up your cats eyes. (even if you’re a cat hears you calling them they may not respond because again they are in survival mode and may not want to give away their hiding spot )Sometimes they can stay in hiding for days so don’t give up. Hope these tips help and that you’re beautiful. Cat returns home safely and soon🙏🐈‍⬛❤️ don’t give up sometimes they can stay in hiding for over a week until they get really hungry, especially when a lot of commotion is going on during the daytime. also if there’s been any recent rain your kitty may stay in hiding even longer so like I said, just don’t give up. It just may take a while.. Also check your local shelters in person they don’t always post their intake cats on their websites
