Message from Owner

Ellie has a pink collar with an air tag. She apparently went through the woods from Windham, NH to Salem, NH. The minute her air tag pings I rush out but she just passes through from the woods to that area so I haven’t been able to catch her yet. Her air tag only pings near iPhones so when she’s in the woods, I can’t locate her. I’m absolutely heart broken and so is my family! She’s been missing since Aug 28, 2026! I’m hoping someone in that area can put my carrier with her blankets out to draw her near. She is friendly and microchipped. Please call me at if you have any info that can help! Thank you!

Ellie was found in the woods but unfortunately, she was deceased. She had fallen from a high tree and on impact. Her air tag led my nephew and a very kindhearted animal helper to her location and they were able to bring her home to me for cremation. Thank you for all who have helped and cared!

Sharon Vitale thank you for those tips! Unfortunately, Ellie is sticking to the woods between Windham and Salem. Her air tag has pinged at several locations but traps haven’t worked, calling her at the pinged locations haven’t worked, (I’ve learned a lot about AirTags and I would not recommend them for anybody’s pet)! By the time, a person wanders by your pet and they finally make it to their home or work where there’s a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signal, it could be hours later. All of a sudden the ping will show up showing the location, but then you get out there and she’s no longer in that area because it was hours earlier. I think if anything, it’s probably only confused her because now she’s got her scent and my scent in several different locations in Windham and Salem and doesn’t know where she lives anymore! And since she’s in the woods most of the time, I rarely get any ping updates. And now her battery is almost completely drained, so I don’t know how many more I’ll get before it runs completely out.

Drag scent trails… She may be hiding under a porch, a shed, or a car, behind bushes, or in a wooded area. Go out late at night with a flashlight that might reflect against her eyes, and call her gently. Or shake a bag of treats, sometimes better than your voice to attract a cat that’s scared. Create scent trails on the grass and ground leading up to your home (or to a trap, ideally monitored with a trail cam, so you can respond quickly when the cat is in the trap). Get a towel and rub it with your dirty laundry, blankets, socks, or anything else with the scent of home. (Do not use kitty litter.) Tie a rope to the towel and drag it from the areas where you think the cat might be, creating scent trails leading to your house (or the trap). You won’t smell the scent on the towel or the ground, but the cat will. (If you use a trap, load it with a little cat food, chicken or tuna, enough to attract the cat from the trail that leads up to it. Rely on the scent trails to get your cat to the trap.) Rain and snow will wash away the scent trails, so you’ll have to drag again afterwards. Also, renew the trails every couple days. Try to remain patient and hopeful. Some cats only show up after many days or even weeks. Important: . Never leave a trap unattended, always keep an eye on it, checking it every 1/2 hour in person or with a trail cam. Position the trap close to where the cat escaped or was last seen. . Trail cam photos and videos are marked with time stamps, helpful to know if and when the cat shows up but doesn’t go into the trap. . Post flyers in the area with a picture of your cat and your contact information. . Even if you don’t have a trap or a trail cam, scent trails leading to your home can work.
