Message from Owner

At 7 pm on April 22 our sweet babygirl Ginger (a 4 yr old orange tabby) went into the park behind our and wondered into the woods next to Berwin Park in Kettering. Our daughter tried to catch her but she only ran deeper into the woods. We have scoured the neighborhood and have not seen her. She was last seen heading towards Stroop Rd area off Claybourne Ave. Our girls are devastated and so are our other two kitties. Please let us know if you see her. She is very skittish and scared in general.

Shared ❤️ They usually don’t go far; your girl could be hiding nearby, waiting for things to quiet down. I’ve heard people have had success going outside and just sitting quietly near their door around dawn or dusk, and maybe calling her name softly, and let her come out in her own time. If she has a favorite treat, maybe have a little bag you can rattle softly & hold out a few for her to smell. Don’t give up! ❤️

Please check nearby storm drains and sewer pipes, vehicle engines and tire wells, plus attics and bats, garages and sheds, bushes and trees, and under buildings and porches. Good luck.

Lost Cat Recovery Checklist Immediate Actions ■ Start searching close to where she got out (cats usually hide nearby). ■ Check high & low hiding spots: under cars, porches/decks, shrubs, garages, sheds. ■ Ask neighbors to check open garages/sheds and closed spaces before shutting doors. Best Times to Search ■ Search during quiet/dark hours (best: 12am–7am, especially 1–6am). ■ Use a strong flashlight at night to spot eye reflection. Calling & Approaching ■ Call for her during still hours (overnight/early morning). ■ If you see her: stay calm and quiet (don’t chase). Scent Lures (Safe Options) ■ Put outside: her bed/blanket or your unwashed clothing/bedding. ■ Place scent items near the trap and/or leading toward the door. ■ Do NOT place a litter box outside (can attract predators such as coyotes). Food / Feeding Station ■ Set up a feeding station and feed during the day only. ■ Do NOT leave food out overnight (attracts wildlife & scares cats off). Humane Trap (Highly Recommended) ■ Get a live/humane trap ASAP. ■ Use food only inside the trap (don’t leave food elsewhere). ■ Cover trap with a tarp/blanket for safety and comfort. ■ Check trap frequently—never leave it unattended overnight. ■ In harsh weather: check every 30 minutes. Outreach (Very Important) ■ Post flyers around the neighborhood with phone number (day/night contact). ■ Bring flyers to local vets, shelters (go in person every few days if possible), and pet stores. ■ Tell your mail carrier (they notice roaming pets). ■ Ask known stray feeders/rescuers if they’ve seen her. Mindset ■ Keep checking at different times daily. ■ Don’t give up—cats can be found weeks or months later
