This is my partner and I's kitten. She is such a sweet girl and is very friendly. She is a stray, but we were in the process of getting all of her vaccines, spay, and microchip done. Please If anyone sees her reach out and let me know. She's our baby.

***How to Find a Lost Cat*** THOROUGHLY SEARCH YOUR HOME AND SURROUNDINGS Start by searching your home thoroughly, including the garage, shed, deck, crawlspaces, underneath porches, sewers, and drainage pipes. Check closets, cabinets, the attic, basement, and appliances like the clothes dryer. Ask neighbors to check under crawlspaces, decks, porches, sheds, and garages, as cats can become trapped. Extend your search three to five houses in either direction and recheck areas often, since cats may move between hiding spots. If your cat is accustomed to being outdoors, widen your search area. The best times to search are late at night or early morning when it’s quiet. Use a flashlight to catch eye reflection. Avoid searching just once and assuming they aren’t nearby. Searching can unintentionally spook a cat, causing them to hide deeper. Cats’ vision blurs beyond 20 feet, so even if they see you, they may not recognize you and could run in fear. Most indoor-only cats are found very close to home, often within 50 to 150 feet, hiding under decks, porches, bushes, or crawlspaces. Many remain hidden for 10 to 17 days before feeling safe enough to come out. BE PATIENT AND PERSISTENT Your cat is likely nearby even if you can’t see them. They may hear you but be too scared to respond. Studies show that 75% of lost cats are found within one third of a mile, 18% are found just outside the home entrance, most indoor cats are located within the first few houses, and 59% are found alive when owners physically search bushes and hiding spots. About 56% are found within two months, though many cats return home months or even years later. DON’T ASSUME THE WORST Don’t assume your cat met a predator. Cats are excellent at hiding and conserving energy. Use every search method from the moment your cat goes missing. SET HUMANE TRAPS Use humane traps such as Tomahawk or Tru Catch in areas you can monitor frequently. Shelters often rent traps. Avoid raccoon traps, as they can injure cats due to their short size and slim trigger plates. You can also use your home or garage as a trap by leaving doors open and monitoring closely. CONTACT YOUR MICROCHIP COMPANY Notify your cat’s microchip company that your cat is missing and confirm your contact information is up to date. Contact Veterinary Clinics and Shelters Contact local veterinary clinics, hospitals, and emergency vets and ask to email a flyer. Report your cat to Animal Care & Control and monitor their website regularly, as it updates hourly. Visit the shelter in person every three days. The shelter will hold animals on a 3-day stray hold before adoption. Address: 8315 Byrum Drive, Charlotte, NC 28227. Hours: Monday–Friday 11:00 AM–7:00 PM, Weekends 9:00 AM–5:00 PM. Note: The shelter no longer accepts healthy stray adult cats unless sick or injured. Healthy stray cats should be returned to where they were found. CHECK ONLINE RESOURCES Check the Animal Care & Control lost and found page and file a Lost Pet Notice with photos and details. Reports expire after 30 days, so renew if needed. You can also file a report with Petco Love Lost (https://petcolove.org/lost/). POST FLYERS Post brightly colored, laminated “Lost Pet” flyers throughout your neighborhood and town. Laminated flyers withstand weather and repeated exposure helps awareness. Include a clear face photo and a side view showing body and tail. Focus on high-traffic areas and place flyers in mailboxes secured under the red flag. Give one to your mail carrier. When my cat Charlie went missing, covering my neighborhood with laminated flyers made the biggest difference. LEVERAGE SOCIAL MEDIA Post on Nextdoor, Neighbors app, Reddit (Lost & Found Pets), Craigslist, PawBoost, PetAmberAlert, and local Facebook lost and found pet groups. WATCH HELPFUL VIDEOS Kim Freeman’s YouTube videos are an excellent resource. She is a lost cat recovery specialist and shares proven strategies. CREATE A SCENT CIRCLE Tie strips of clothing worn by your cat’s favorite human to trees or bushes 3 to 4 feet off the ground in a 50 to 60-foot radius around your home. This scent beacon can help guide your cat back. Placing a litter box outside can backfire by attracting predators or territorial cats and is often unnecessary. Don’t give up and stay pawsitive. 🐾

put the cats bedding outside along with your unwashed laundry meaning your stinky socks, T-shirts, towels, etc. leave out water go out with a flashlight you look underneath the shed inside the shed after completely looking through your house to make sure it didn’t get locked up in the back room or attic. With that flashlight, you will see the glow eyes and the light of its coat you take out a warm can of food or it’s favorite treats. You call it gently and make sure you have a crate to contain it in before you get it back in the house. With that flashlight, the eyes will look like marbles. You look under the shed inside the shed under the back deck in the back deck underneath the house.!! you look underneath the front porch in the front porch, tall shrubs, or if you live near a barn. You look underneath cars trucks, trailers RVs boats campers anything where this baby can hide you ask every neighbor if they have any video security footage of which way this kitten went or if someone picked it up if this kitten is micro chipped which I believe it’s too young to be make sure your information is up-to-date and so is the kittens and the company is still in business. If it’s microchips alert the company in case somebody brings it in to be microchip scanned they will do it for free. Also notify every vet and animal hospital within 30 miles of you. It only takes 1 mile to change a county line. Only the parent knows the Pet. You also go on animal care and control and the Humane Society and look under their intake pages to make sure somebody did not drop them off there. Praying you find your baby soon and get out there with that flashlight, the cats bedding and your stinky laundry.🙏🐾🙏
