Message from Owner

Story ran out after being spooked by fireworks on 7/4/2024 and was never spotted again. She is fixed, microchipped, incredibly vocal, and plays hard to get with new people. I have posted fliers repeatedly with zero sightings in my neighborhood.

💓 MAKE HUGE NEON POSTERS and /or a BILLBOARD To increase the chances that a neighbors calls for any possible sighting ; once there is a SIGHTING you must ADD a camera aimed at wet food at that spot to confirm it is YOUR cat - once confirmed THEN you can plan to humanely trap kitty - when you can WATCH the trap every single second.(STAKEOUT from a short distance) 💓 NEON POSTER/S In front of your home and near a busy intersection everyone tends to drive by in your neighborhood. the guardian of lost cat ‘Claude’ created 2 of these HUGE NEON POSTERS - 1 was placed in front of her residence and the other was placed at the nearest busy intersection...a neighbor noticed the poster and then spotted kitty a few days later and called the guardian. 💓 BILLBOARD Make a HUGE BillBoard using a TARP, duct tape and Blown up photo of kitty (kinkos or fedex) - to tie up at a busy intersection near you to ensure everyone in the neighborhood is aware to call you upon sighting. 💓 Tip: Print 16”x20” of clear full body photo of your cat (crop the photo to remove as much background so it’s just your cat) Fedex Print stores charges $11 for one color copy, available overnight. Cut out your cat and glue/tape to each huge neon sign and for the Billboard. See Signs/Billboard Examples: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y1h2G8kgceEs_pdhEsn9O18_ZijKLDbG/view?usp=sharing

I'm so sorry to hear this. I reunited a cat that was lost for over a year !! By placing wet food out with a camera aimed for months and finally he showed up!!! I trapped the cat 2 nights later by setting a humane trap and sitting in my parked car for 5 hours watching the trap every moment to ensure only THAT cat came to the trap. I would try creating several HUGE NEON SIGNS to get more eyes from your neighborhood - the goal is to get a confirmed sighting - REWARD for photo of is best because well meaning neighbors most often get sightings totally wrong so a photo or video is KEY - *** The best way to lure a scared Lost cat is with WET food placed consistently in kitty's bowl - night after night with a camera aimed at the wet food bowl so you can see WHO eats the food. If another cat eats then put out twice as much food because cats watch other cats to find food sources. Wet food only so the smell travels. Important: NO DRY FOOD after dark because raccoons LOVE dry food and tend to ignore the wet food. ***To prevent ants For wet food place in bowl then place the bowl in a larger shallow bowl or metal pan slightly larger than the bowl then add water to the outer bowl/pan to prevent ANTS from swarming the food overnight...Once sighted then you can plan to humanely trap kitty who is in survival mode. THis mini blink camera will be delivered tonight via amazon: https://a.co/d/06nfum0w BEFORE TRAPPING: MUST-WATCH HOW-TO VIDEO https://youtu.be/DtXyrD6w0bk

🚨🚨🚨WARNING🚨🚨🚨 SCAMMERS will claim they found your cat! Or will tell you about a (FAKE) INSTAGRAM Pet recovery service they used - OR WILL SHOW YOU an AI (FAKE) photo of your cat - these are SCAMMERS!!! SCAMMERS will text you saying they’re affiliated with Pawboost or an ANIMAL SHELTER and that they HAVE YOUR CAT and that YOU need to PROVE who you are by giving other phone numbers, your email, verifying google codes etc or to send money to get your cat from the shelter. These are all SCAMMERS! THEY WON'T Send you a PHOTO of your cat (they'll make up any excuse) OR THEY'LL SEND a PHOTO of a similar cat OR AN AI FAKE PHOTO - or a blurry video - but it’s not your cat! Look closely. Google the photo they send it could be a photo they stole from the internet. Please know that If your actual neighbor sees or has your cat they will give you information freely (and will post a PHOTO on your listing and not make you ‘send a code or personal information or money. 🚨🚨🚨There’s a NEW SCAM they will call you saying they are animal care and control and that your cat was brought in but got hit by a car and needs an operating then they will ask you for payment - THIS IS A SCAM!!!! Animal care and control would NEVER ask for money 🚨🚨🚨 ASK TO FACETIME ANYONE WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE YOUR CAT (TO PROVE THEY HAVE YOUR CAT) AND THEY ARE ASKING YOU FOR A $ REWARD. SCAMMERS are the ONLY PEOPLE WHO ASK FOR A REWARD. 🚨🚨🚨There’s a NEW SCAM on Facebook the scammer will say something like ‘my husband found your cat or your cat was hit by a car please message me your phone number and send $ “ meaning they want you to message them from your Facebook messenger your phone number! 🚨🚨🚨The Facebook SCAMMER will tell you to look up a lost cat search team they used on Instagram or another platform saying their cat was found within hours -it’s a total SCAM. LOOK AT THEIR FACEBOOK PROFILE - you may see many (PAID) followers but they are not following anyone, The profile will have a few photos only, usually just selfies and the profile was created not long ago. You will see no posts / conversations with friends , I report the account to Facebook Scammers are heartless
