Description

4 year white and black cat- Mario

Message from Owner

Mario is 4 years old. He was born in my home and has been part of our family since the day he was born. He has always traveled with us, including on the truck, so he is used to traveling and being around different places. He also has access to the outdoors at home, so he is not completely unfamiliar with being outside. Unfortunately, while I was at Betty Lou’s on NE Miller St. picking up a load, I fell asleep with my truck running. Mario managed to get the window down and got out. When I woke up, he was gone. This has happened once before, and when he gets out, he usually stays relatively close to the truck and comes back on his own, especially if he hasn’t been gone for very long. I have walked around the area several times calling for him and looking for him, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to find him. A few important things about Mario: * He is 4 years old. * He is neutered. * He is microchipped. * He is wearing a green collar. * He is very sweet, friendly, and gentle. * He loves treats. * If you call him by his name, “Mario,” he responds. * He is not aggressive and may allow someone to approach him.

Lost Cats‼️ Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Try to stay low, standing is intimidating to cats. Place some dirty socks and pillow cases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for her to get in. DO NOT leave food or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be killed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take months to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of her eyes. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a methodical search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum they can snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. In addition to posted flyers, make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Some people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. a lot of people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap closely, predators can a cat in a trap.

Please place his bedding 🛏outside, along with the owner's unwashed clothing👚👖 front and back door 🚪with a can of tuna 🐟 on each entrance, you can leave your garage door a bit open as well. In case it comes in that way. And leaving food there as well...supervise food outdoors. Also vacuumed home 🧹dirt in a stocking hanging it in front and back of home🏡 enterence . You can also add some catnip 🌱in a stocking hanging by your entrances. Show your neighbo🖼picture of the cat. Ten houses to the left ten house to the right front and back if they spot him to give you a call☎️ immediately. Go early in the ☀️morning and shake treats calling the cats name when things are quiet.. Tell neighbors to check their sheds and garage.Just in case it's trapped.. Also, you can install a camera 📹to monitor and see if the cat is around your house . Best of luck 🍀finding your kitty 🙏 ❤️🏡🐾

I'm so sorry. Hopefully this handsome boy will be found and at the very least turned into a shelter.

The cat will stay close to the area and will circle back to the location it first went missing - it is up to the owner if you can get back to that site to set up a scent station so that the cat can follow that trail to you - meaning putting your worn clothing out around the truck so that it can follow that scent to you. If you cannot I guess the best thing is hope that he is picked up by someone and brought to the shelter - check with the local shelters. All the best.

Candy Field I’m a truck driver, and I don’t live in Oregon. I was there to deliver and pick up a load. I have no way of doing it.
