Message from Owner

Hello, I’m submitting this on behalf of my grandmother. Meatball is her cat. On Sunday night 10/18 around 7pm at the Sedona Ridge apmts on Wyoming. Meatball got out by opening the screen door. He is microchipped and we’ve reported him missing on petplace and on city of abq as well in hopes of finding him and getting him back home. My grandmother is heartbroken and is also upset with herself as she unexpectedly left the sliding door open which led Meatball to open the screen door. She has two cats. Her other cat Spaghetti knows Meatball is gone and has been sitting by the patio window which seems like he’s waiting for him :( I am my grandmothers caregiver and Meatball always would be at the door to greet me in the morning. I’m incredibly sad that he’s missing. He is so cool and just a very loving cat. If anyone in the area has seen him or could be on the lookout for him we would appreciate it very much. We’re going to keep searching for him. We worry about him every hour and hope he is somewhere safe. If you could please share we would be so grateful! All we want is Meatball back home ❤️

These are general search tips and not all may apply in your situation. Search at night w/ a flashlight (eyes will glow). Check up in trees and inside/under things in your yard and up to 4 - 5 houses away. Search garages, sheds, under decks and bushes, in crawl spaces, behind AC units - any place the cat might be trapped or hiding. Many cats go into hiding mode for safety and won't come when they hear their owner's voice but try calling and try either shaking a can/bag of treats or carrying an open (smelly) can of cat food or fish. Put something w/ the cat's scent on the porch (cat bed, scratching post, sofa pillows). Keep your garage door up enough to allow entry. Keep fresh bowls of water out. Put up large missing cat posters (neon poster board works well), talk to neighbors (leave info for those not home), post on all local social media groups and make sure to check with local animal control at least once a week (better to go in person but at least call and send them a photo). If not found at night with a flashlight, go out during early morning, before dawn, as many cats are active around that time. If not found in a few days, you can always buy a humane cat trap but traps *must* be checked multiple times each day, every day. If the cat is microchipped, please make sure the chip company has your updated contact information. And even if the cat has a chip, you still need to check with animal control as chips sometimes are overlooked or migrate down. Please search often and don't give up hope.
