PLEASE HELP BRING CHIA HOME — 8 YEARS OF LOVE IS MISSING Eight years ago, Chia entered my life as a tiny, six-week-old rescued kitten. She was raised side-by-side with a Golden Retriever, which shaped her into one of the most confident, loving, and unique cats you could ever meet. She doesn't act like a typical cat—she struts with her tail held high in the air, talks to anyone who will listen, and greets people with warmth and endless affection. Chia is a striking girl with a gorgeous white chest and bib, beautiful green eyes, and a soft golden patch across her forehead. She is a deeply cherished member of our family. She went missing while I was away, and my heart is broken without her. Because she is so brave and loves people, she may have wandered onto someone's porch, explored an open garage, or even been taken in by a neighbor who thought she was a lost stray. She has been gone for over two weeks, but I know she is out there waiting to come home. How You Can Help: Check your property: Please take 2 minutes to look inside your garage, shed, under decks, or around outdoor patio furniture. Check your security/Ring cameras: See if a friendly tabby with a big white chest has past by at night or early in the morning. Share this post: The further this spreads, the higher the chance someone who saw her will notice this. Chia is extraordinarily vocal and friendly—if you see her or call to her, she will likely talk back. If you have seen her or have any information, please contact me immediately. No detail is too small. Please help me bring my sweet girl home. 💔🐾

If s/he is not accustomed to being outside, s/he is probably close to home. Most indoor only cats don't go more than about a 5 to 6 house radius from where they got out. S/he is probably hunkered down, hiding somewhere close by. Search low and high, go search under cars, in the bushes, at night with a flashlight and look for her/his eyes. Ask your neighbors to look in their garages and sheds. Go out very late at night or very very early morning, stand in one place near home and call her/his name in a calm voice. If you have another pet such as a dog or cat that is friends with the missing cat, bring it along with you and see if they smell or call the missing cat. Be sure to have the dog on a leash. Be sure to have the cat in a carrier. Bring an extra carrier with you. Don't put out the litter box, it will draw predators. You can create a scent station - put out her/his favorite bed, blanket, toy, or your worn clothing. If it is safe to do so, you can also try securing your other pets and leaving a door open a few inches and see if your cat comes back in. If you have confirmed sightings but the cat is skittish, you can rent a humane trap, set & bait it with her/his favorite food and put your used bed sheets over it. NEVER LEAVE THE TRAP UNATTENDED. Be sure to check it every every 30 minutes or so. Post everywhere you can (Pawboost, Lostmykitty, Lost & Found Pets pages for your city & county, Nextdoor, the Buzz page for your city, etc.) and be sure to put up flyers in the neighborhood, and in everyones' mailboxes or under door mats, in a several block radius. Not everyone is on social media. Be sure to include the cross streets, City, time and date the cat went missing on all flyers and posts. This is critical information! People can check their cameras. People may recall seeing the cat in the area around that time/date. Also check your local animal shelters to see if s/he was found and turned in as a stray. Many of them have websites with photos of the cats. If they have a deceased pets page, check there too. There won't be photos. The color, & approximate age will be listed, as well as city & nearest cross streets. Don't give up. A neighbor's cat escaped 30 minutes after he was brought home after being adopted. They did many of these actions, and a few people reported seeing the cat, but when they went to look, no sign of the cat. The cat was found exactly 3 months later, across the street, 5 doors down. He came into the neighbor's garage and she had kept the flyer, so she was able to call my neighbor and the kitty got home safely. Also check your house very thoroughly. If cats aren't feeling well, they often hide. Check every closet, cupboard, drawer, washer, dryer, piece of furniture a cat could crawl into, even spaces that seem unlikely. My friend's cat went missing. She found her 3 days later hiding in a kitchen cupboard behind some pots & pans. I hope you find her/him safe and sound really soon!!

Check websites of your local / county animal shelters for their recent acquired cats, esp her being a kitten. They often have a section you can view their photos and details. It may be better to go there in person as well. I hope she is found🙏🏻
