This cat is my autistic daughter and my ESA. Documented on my official medical records as such. Was asleep when my family member and our shared friends decided I needed to be voted off the island, and was made to leave. I was told she was being taken to my sisters hse in TN. She was never taken, and actually was let outside on purpose, and subsequently left behind when she said neener neener. I didn’t find out til a couple of weeks ago. I need my cat back. I can’t function without her. I miss her so very much. If you find her, let me know. You can ask me how many digits she has on her front paws.. she is well known by people all over the world. She was in the top 5 of America’s Favorite Pet in 2022 I think, and she has been living with me since November the 2nd in my vehicle, and has been seen by the community riding around on the dash of my car. Please help me find my baby. I’ve had her since she was a tiny little thing, I have baby pictures to prove it, and the lady that gave her to me is still one of my friends. There have been many posts about this crazy catdog cat.. ❤️ She’s apx 8 or 9 years old, been spayed, wears a large amount of eyeliner, and is just crazy as a loon just like her Momma. I have vet records and from multiple sources that prove she is legally my property. I don’t like being stolen from. Karma will come back for this one. Thank y’all so much! Message me here, or by email at new number will be received soon and I’ll have better access to everything. She is the only ESA I have left! And she’s my heart.. She wasn’t LOST! She was STOLEN and KEPT from me, on purpose, to intentionally cause me physical and emotional pain. To which was a success. I will press charges for this if I have to. My belongings were also removed from my locked vehicle when I left that afternoon. So it’s a evident case of stolen property all the way around, with a side of B&E.. and I would think the 4 people involved wouldn’t want to have to deal with police and court and lawyers and such, but I also thought of all of them as FAMILY, not just friends. 😭

This has been of ZERO help at all. All I get is adver wanting me to pay to actually post about my cat. That’s not helping, that’s taking advantage of someone’s misery. And to think I supported this before this happened to me. Mistake on my part.

Since I don’t live there, nor can I get there, I can’t do whatever it is you are suggesting. I know what, and what not to do. Not my first cat ever. I can’t look for her myself. If anyone would take a minute to actually READ THE AD, you’d know it.

Please read till the end..Walk around calling your cat as you always do. Look under bushes and in hiding places. Look at dawn and dusk with a flashlight to catch the glare of your cat's eyes. Leave garage door and lanai partially open if possible. Your cat will try to get back inside ..most likely at night. Use a trap...The only way to find his way home.or to the trap is by smell. Use some of your used clothes, put them outside and around the trap. A friend of mine used her shirt and dragged it through the neighborhood. Her cat found the smell and followed it home. It is all about the smell. You can also cut a shirt of yours into small small pieces and leave a scent trail back to the trap. I read a few days ago that a lady put out a trace with the old litter throughout the neighborhood. It worked. Her cat came home! Use the litter to lead your cat to the trap. Also try to distribute flyers throughout that neighborhood...as many as you can ( 3 miles radius at least). Check shelters in person...don't just call. Put battery operated trail cameras or motion cameras (Amazon for $25) outside. Your cat might show up in the middle of the night. When you know the time you can wait for for your cat and slow blink to make contact. NEVER GIVE UP! I read once that you can put a chair outside and cover it up with a blanket and the cat can jump up and hide under the blanket and feels safe. They said you should put one of your shirts under the blanket and food and water next to the chair. It might be worth a try to put up a chair

—Do Not leave out litter box. Leave out your fur baby’s blanket or bed. —Go to every business nearby and neighbor and ask them to check crawl spaces, bats, garages, sheds, under decks, etc. —you should check and have neighbors and businesses also Check water heater closet, behind oven or washing machine dryer etc - any space a cat could get into —Flyer if they aren’t home. All over. —Posters. —They’re usually very close by unless they got chased. —Check up trees at night. ******❤️❤️ Dusk (and even night, but especially dusk) and Dawn - these are good times to sit outside and talk loud enough for pets to hear you, but without panic in your voice. Talk to yourself. Hum. A friend’s cat went missing and she almost gave up after 2 weeks. She was sitting outside on her front steps one early evening and just talking and singing, sleep deprived. Then she was talking to herself. Her cat walked right up to her. It can’t hurt. Hear mama’s or papa’s voice, without panic. —Put reward amount on flyer 🙏 —when you check for messages here, check “message requests” - usually 3 lines/bars or so to click to find that option.
