Small brown and black cat with a white flea collar on at the time she went missing.

Message from Owner

Claire is a small 8lb cat that went missing from our backyard on Sunday. She is an indoor/outdoor cat last seen wearing a white flea collar. In terms of distinct features she has a broken canine tooth on the top left side and her belly is noticeably bald from when she got spayed years ago and it never grew back. She responds to Claire and whistles. She isn't the friendliest in terms of going up to strangers but she does like treats and knows what churi sticks are or similar products that might attract her.

Please place his bedding outside, along with the owner's unwashed clothing front and back door with a can of tuna 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. Also vacuumed home dirt in a stocking hanging it in front and back of home enterence . Show your neighbors a picture of the cat. Ten houses to the left ten house to the right front and back if they spot him to give you a call immediately. Go early in the morning and shake treats calling the cats name when things are quiet.. Best of luck finding your kitty 🙏 ❤️🏡🐾

Put something unwashed out on your porch that smells like you, a blanket or a shirt. Set a trap with fresh KFC chicken with skin, no bones of course. I hope you find her soon and safe.

LOST CAT TIPS So sorry! May be injured and hiding, search with flashlight looking for eyes. Search everywhere! Someone recently found their cat who was lost almost a month stuck in a drain ditch 7 houses from where the cat was lost from. Cats don’t usually go far unless not fixed (un neutered males will travel far looking for female- get them fixed and will stay closer to home) picked up or hitched a ride, search, scent and posters are key to finding them, go slow and call in normal tone. Indoor only are typically within 7 houses while outdoor cats can be 17 houses away or further because something disturbs their territory and they run further and get lost or stuck. -Report as lost to shelter ASAP and check there daily! -If chipped, alert chip company (ensure chip is up to date) -Search with flashlight for eyes under decks, in sheds, crawlspaces, drain ditches, garages, etc….maybe too scared to come out and needs to hear your familiar tone. Especially drains, they can get in and can’t get out! Look high in the trees could be stuck! They can hide up to 10 days! If considering a tracker, need to get within two weeks for optimal scent( I can recommend some if interested) -Some cats recognize their owners voice (familiar sound they use with them). Sit outside at dark, using that sound and listen for them, and have some stinky food with you. If they have a dog or cat Buddy record them and play it -Lure them back with scent (stinky trail mix and set up a food station with food and water with a camera) -If safe leave door cracked where they got out with food trail going in -Leave garage door cracked with food inside -Get lots of posters out as they help reunite many pets! Many don’t have social media! -Post on Nextdoor, Ring, pawboost, petfbi. Org , lostmykitty .com and Lost & Found Pets of North Carolina and Lost & Found Pets of the Triangle, NC -If in woods, create a stinky mix of mackerel juice spray high in trees and sprinkle some on ground leading back home along with dirty clothing ending at a feeding station at home with camera. -If inside only cat and not seen going out, do a thorough search inside (could be stuck somewhere) and if you had any recent construction work at home, check the areas the work was done.
