Message from Owner

Richard has been an indoor/outdoor cat but recently was restricted to indoors only due to a move. He badly wanted to go outside. He is staying in our home with his owner. His owner left for a few days to go look at real est and Richard decided he'd had enough of being confined and got out. He was good at hiding in our home so originally assumed he was hiding until we looked EVERYWHERE. Not even sure how he got out as we were being very careful. His owner was contacted and said hes probably just hiding out and hes been known to disappear for a couple of days. Once his owner came back, he went looking for him to no avail. Not sure if hes chipped as he was left with owner by previous owner. He's very sweet but doesn't really go to people unless he knows them. As his carer and good friend of his owner, I am heartbroken at his disappearance.

Ruth if you re-read the post you will see that he is not an indoor only cat. Prior to arriving at my home he was allowed to go outside. Only when being moved to my home last week was he restricted to indoors. His owner wanted to keep him indoors while he was traveling to find a property up in Northern California. The plan was to allow both cats (only Richard got out) to go outdoors once the owner returned so he'd be the familiar person in our home. Thank you for your concern and suggestions though. Much appreciated.

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 killed 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.
