Message from Owner

Lost cat– please help! Piedmont near the Indianola side. My indoor cat, Pepper has gotten outside and I’m extremely worried. Pepper is a black and white short/long hair cat with a notched ear and distinct nose mark. She got out yesterday without a collar on. Pepper is a bit skittish, but very, very friendly and very loving if you extend your hand out to her, she’ll likely come up for pets. I am extremely worried about Pepper. She does not spend time outside and with the big storm there is a lot of debris out and around Clintonville. Please email me if you see her and feel free to pick her up and keep her inside. Pepper does not love being held but she will put up with being held upside down. Please email me. she’s probably very scared and so it’s likely that she’s hiding under things. Thank you so much for your help!

You might try a live trap, they are fairly cheap on amazon, my Jane wanted to come back but was too overwhelmed and scared, she had made a home under a backyard shed across the street and wouldnt let anyone near her. I saw she kept coming around the doors at night and if i didnt have other pets, i would have left the door cracked and that may have solved it. Eventually she was found eating hamburger in the trap on my front porch and all was right again. It took about 3 weeks for her to show up and i did have to release squirrels and possums along the way which were easy. Tuna in oil also makes a lot of scent. Make sure there's water too. If its cold out, wrap the trap in a blanket and make sure to check it often, check it often no matter what the weather is. In fact, best to keep a camera on it. I believe in Jane's case, the live trap was her only chance. Best of luck and a swift resolve for you I hope

I would put the cat's litter box outside, under cover, along with some really smelly cat food and some clothes you wore recently to attract the cat. Keep an eye on it. Some people say not to put the box/food out because it might attract predators. I have known it to work. Check carefully around the outside of your house and your neighbors’ houses. Cats don't usually go far initially and they can tuck themselves into unbelievably small and unusual spaces. One person found her cat hiding in the grill on her patio after searching for three days. Go out late at night when it's quiet and call the cat softly. Make large, easily read flyers and post them around your neighborhood with the cat’s picture and your contact info. Post a lost ad on nextdoor.com. Ask your neighbors to check garages, sheds, under decks - anywhere a cat can hide and get shut in. Borrow a trap from a shelter or vet. Don’t give up. Good luck!

Check sheds garages and under decks. Post signs and put a piece if your clothing outside.
