Message from Owner

🚨 PLEASE HELP US FIND CRYSTAL SHE IS ONLY 5 MONTHS OLD 🚨 I am asking everyone nearby to please take a few minutes to physically search your property for Crystal, EVEN if you don’t think you’ve seen her. I really want to emphasize that when I say “check under your shed/deck/porch,” I do NOT mean standing outside and looking underneath for a few seconds. She is a terrified 5 month old kitten. She can squeeze into an unbelievably small space, press herself completely flt against something, crawl behind objects, or stay absolutely silent even while someone is calling for her. Please use a FLASHLIGHT even during the daytime and actually get down to ground level and look ALL the way into and behind things. Move things if you safely can. Look from multiple sides/angles because something blocking the view from one direction may completely hide her. Please especially check: • Under sheds, decks, porches, steps and crawl spaces all the way in, not just around the opening • Inside sheds, garages, barns and outbuildings including behind and underneath everything • Under tarps, covers, stacked lumber, pallets and outdoor furniture • Behind trash/recycling cans and between objects pushed against buildings • Under bushes and deep inside thick landscaping physically part branches and look underneath • Under and around parked vehicles, trailers, lawn equipment and wheel wells • Window wells, drainage areas, pipes, culverts and little gaps around foundations • Any tiny opening or dark enclosed space where you think, “There’s no way a cat could fit in there.” Please check it anyway. ⚠️ PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME SHE ISN’T THERE BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T ANSWER YOU. A frightened kitten may freeze, hide deeper and make absolutely no sound while a person is only feet away. AFTER LAST NIGHTS NEW DEVELOPMENT we are especially worried. An orange cat attacked Crystal while she was smelling sardine oil bait I had put out. She was attacked before she even made it to the actual food inside the trap. 😭 Because of that experience, I am now worried she may be frightened of returning to this immediate area or approaching the food/bait here again. So I desperately need help searching OUTWARD from my property as well, especially places where she could have run to hide immediately after being chased. ❤️ And if you genuinely do not have time to search, I completely understand. We all have busy lives. I WILL COME LOOK FOR YOU. You absolutely do not have to spend your day crawling around under sheds for my kitten. 😂 If you are comfortable with me coming to search for her on your property PLEASE PRIVATE MESSAGE ME your address and, if possible, tell me what you have on your property that could potentially provide her with a hiding place a shed, deck, porch, garage, bushes, wood pile, etc. I am more than willing to come over and thoroughly search those areas myself. You don’t even need to be the one to do it. Just giving me permission to check your property would be an enormous help. If you see her, PLEASE DO NOT CHASE HER OR TRY TO GRAB HER. Take a photo/video if possible, note the EXACT location and direction she went, and contact me immediately. Even if you only think you saw a small black kitten, I want to know. She is not a street-savvy adult cat. Crystal is a BABY. She is only FIVE MONTHS OLD. 💔 She could be hiding extremely close to people without anyone realizing she’s there. Even 5–10 minutes of genuinely searching your property could be the thing that brings my baby home. Please, please check. 🖤🐈‍⬛
