Message from Owner

Please help me find Lacy. Any information would be really helpful. She is strictly an indoor cat, that we believe got out through an open door in Belmont Green sometime during the day on Monday March 9. She is likely super scared and hiding. Please alert me if you have spotted a cat. She has a collar but, its to open her food dish. She is also microchipped. Pease please contact with any information or questions!!! Thank you!

Try these tips: Indoor cats that get outside usually stay close but they will hide b/c they get scared of the new sounds and textures outside. Check all hiding places (under decks/porches, sheds, bushes, parked cars, up in trees, in storm drains or other exposed pipes). Ask your neighbors to check those areas of their yards and to open their sheds/garages in case the cat went in unseen and got locked in. Post flyers in your neighborhood b/c not everyone uses fb or knows about these lost/found pet sites. File a report with your local shelter and give them a picture so if someone brings in your cat they will be able to more quickly reunite you. Go in person and ask to see all the cats. Do not rely on staff to visualize your cat the same way you do. Do not rely strictly on pictures posted on their website in case the site is not up-to-date or not all-inclusive. Cats will come out at night to search for food so put a dish of smelly cat food outside near the door the cat most likely went out. You can also try going out at night with a flashlight to see if you can get the reflection of the light in its eyes. Shared and prayingFollow these tips...they work :) Owners of lost cats on the lost and found pet pages have said that these tips work, especially numbers 1, 3 and 5: 1. Put wet/smelly food out in the evening. Pick it up during the day or if you notice it's attracting strays. 2. Put a trail of dirty litter from the box all along the edge of your yard and along trees and bush lines close by and along side any chin trails. Do not out the entire litter box outside. 3. Put out an unwashed article of your clothing or a dirty sheet/towel/t-shirt. You can also make "scent strips" from these items and place them in trails leading to your door. 4. Go out in the evening with a flashlight and look under porches, sheds, etc. 5. You can make chum trails leading to your door by using a can of canned tuna in water (no oil) or canned cat food and a gallon of warm water. Shake well and sprinkle in trails leading to your door. 6. Your cat will be most active between dusk and dawn. Trying shaking a bag of treats and softly calling your cat's name while searching with a flashlight to catch the reflection of your cat's eyes. 7. Get fliers up right away with phone numbe r asking for sightings right away and ask neighbors to check garages, etc. 8. File a lost report with the appropriate shelter and visit *in person* often. Most cats do not go far, especially those that are not used to spending time outdoors. Every 2 seconds a pet is lost..MICROCH IP!! ! I

I am with Bring Ace Home - A Lesson In Faith. I am sure he is hiding very close. They usually run and find the quickest hiding place. Under a shed or deck or bushes. Don’t go out and yell for him, but walk around softly saying his name. Go down ten houses in each direction. Just let him hear your voice. Carry an open can of mackerel or tuna or rotisserie chicken. Leave a bowl of one of those things at the door he got out of. Get some cans of Mackerel (Dollar store is cheapest). Take the juice and put it in a spray bottle and add some water. Spray it in the trees and bushes around the house. Spray it leading to a big bowl of Mackerel. Refresh this morning and night. Put some of your dirty clothes or towels outside in a couple places around your home. Do not leave a litter pan outside. Leave something of his like a bed or blanket. Cats usually hide during the day and come out at night. At night, sit there and calmly talk and say his name. Just hang out there like you are having a picnic. Talking but remaining calm. You may even have to sit there for a couple of nights. Talk and say his name like you would if he was with you. Do you have a security camera? He may be so scared he doesn’t show himself tonight. Cats are very resilient and will find a place to stay warm. Hang lots and lots of signs. The #1 thing that brings lost pets home is the signs. All around your neighborhood. Stop signs. Big intersections. Gas stations. Grocery stores. Anywhere lots of people go.
