Alexander Kaloyan Radev Can you set up a $25 mini blink camera (overnight on amazon) outside the exit door of your neighbors aimed at his WET FOOD bowl consistently for several weeks to see if somehow he got spooked and returns at 3AM...or is your neighbor leaving the door open for him to return on his own in case he is stuck and someone releases him by opening their storage for example...

Alexander Kaloyan Radev Thank you for helping your neighbor - IS DOLOMITE FRIENDLY TO TOTAL STRANGERS OUTSIDE? He is near (no need to search the neighborhood) - he is most likely stuck very very very close to home ....are there garages and storage units? Ask every neighbors to open them for a few hours allowing him time to escape... they can't just open and look inside - they must leave the storage unit open for a few hours.....Lost cat Chuck was found under the neighbor's crawl space after 3 weeks!!! he never meowed. 2 nights ago another neighbor's cat was finally spotted inside a building light well - stuck for 2 weeks - went there with a trap and calling for kitty the entire time as she set up camera and trap after dark and he climbed his way to her!! Praying you find him soon...please don't give up...i often start looking for a lost cat for strangers well after 2 weeks and have found ALL of them except 1...MORE FLYERS - everyone on the block everyone in the building complex must know about him...that he is likely trapped ..crawlspace..basement...storage unit...sending you love, hope and determination....thank you for being a kind caring human and neighbor xoxoxoxoxo

Alexander Kaloyan Radev place wet food bowl with camera aimed 2 hours before sunset nightly ..where he got out.. It can take many many nights before a scared cat will go to the food - tell him not to stop putting out wet food (get him the camera and help install it so it’s aimed at the bowl. He could be stuck. Trapped and may not meow even if normally he does everything changes when they are scared. Stay very close re neighbors …he goes out into the backyards only right? Then focus on that immediate block talk to every neighbor keep track on printed google map. Ask neighbors to partially open any door. Closed for a few hours since he got out ..: ❤️happy to speak over the phone 650.339.6619 Thank you for helping them ❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😱🙌🏻

Day 4: it's 3:30AM and I just went through the whole neighborhood calling for him. Still nothing. Night before last I thought I heard his meow in the distance from the front door to my apartment and I went searching again through the whole complex but only to find nothing. My friend and neighbor is so upset, he is all alone now without Dolamite. I wish the Oakland shelter could at least try to help. This whole thing got me to finally jump through hoops to update my own cats microchip. I can't imagine losing him. I got 30 full page flyers printed to post up in the morning. I'll print more after these go up. Thanks for the advice and prayers everyone. I appreciate you so much.

HappyCatLady thank you for all of this. I just did another canvas of the whole area from 2:30am to 3:20am. Still no sign of him. I got some flyers to put up in the morning. My friend is so down because his baby is gone. I won't stop looking for him. He doesn't have any hunter/gatherer ss and is very human dependent. Its like he just vanished. He is NOT a fast or stealthy cat. He meows very loud and constantly. This is all just bizarre how he just disappeared.

Sally Mccarty unfortunately still no sign of him. Went out a few times in the night. Got a voicemail this morning from the shelter and they said they don't take adult cats that aren't injured or sick.
