Please make sure to read the advice in "files" and the "featured" row near the top of the pages or groups. sometimes you have to press a little arrow like shape to open it, scroll by pulling to the left or right. 🔻THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF SCAMS PEOPLE USE TO MANIPULATE PEOPLE THAT HAVE MISSING FRIENDS. OFTEN THEY TEXT SAYING THEY HAVE FOUND YOUR FRIEND AND TELL YOU TO SEND THEM A CODE. DO NOT The newer scams are links in comments like: "Omg its so sad! these people found my pet fast! go to ImMentallyillinaBADway in ìnśtaģgram for their team to help you too!!" Or things like "contact pet dŕöñės for help" ..they often ask for cash before they look, and or for you to send them a code. Or they tell you they can see them but need a code or cash... DO NOT send them anything. 🍀 If you do encounter scammers please screeshot their names and profile pics and put it here so we can ban them and report them.. you can report them to Facebook and to the admins if you are in a group seeing it. Press and hold on the comment, options will open. First report it to Facebook for spam, scam, harassment, unauthorised sales, false information, mocking victims, animal abuse, child abuse, and terrorism! Maybe they will actually do something for once after all that ..then report it to the admins. The admins will ban them and delete the comment asap. ...sigh..... ok... take some slow, natural, deep breathes.... 🍀 For future posts copy this: **MISSING** Please share and help contribute to a reunion! County: City: Location Details: Date: Name: Gender: Breed: Coloring: Physical Features: Age: Weight: Collar/Microchip/Other: Contact: Additional Information: 🍀 Use a bright flashlight (brighter than a phones flashlight) at night and when its dim, to look for their eyes glowing. keep the flashlight up by your head so their eyes retroreflected light goes into your eyes. if you dont understand that study it. or trust us.. 🍀 Put out scented objects like pillows and couch cushions. and if safe, crack some windows to let the scent out.. hopefully u can afford to leave one cracked open enough for them to crawl back in the middle of the night.. 🍀 When searching, move in a slowly growing spiral pattern, yell louder on the spiral path back so as to pull them home.. searching up wind is more likely to help, if they are down wind they would possibly be able to smell their way home already... 🍀 For scent, vaccume bag dust can be used to make a stong scent trail outside. Put it in cloth bags or socks. Tie them shut well (we dont need more plastic dust outside😓) .. then put them outside all around the house.. UNDER something to keep it dry.. and off the ground a little to.. dont want it to mold!.. but Air flow is key to.. so dont hide it to much.. Remember the house must be the most smelly part of the scent trial.. cracked windows are essential. But BE SAFE!! 🍀 Dont forget to refresh the outside box/house or traps with fresh used pillows food toys etc.. buy a big bag of their favorite food, spread it in many feeders on all sides of the building.. scent form all things can get sucked way up to high by the wind and houses heat, so place some on all sides of the building.. 🍀 Putting out food after the first day risks attracting others, their presence might push your friend away.. probably best to only use familiarly scented objects. If you do put out food, place it a ways from your home so the the others dont occupy the space outside of your home... 🍀 if you want us to more easily help find them, we need to know how u talk to them, like "come here good girl good kitty" or "come on baby, here come.." etc etc.... really the best option is a voice recording we can mimic and even use directly.. also, unless they are accustomed to you yelling their name, they may find the distortions the yelling produces to not only be unrecognisable, but scarey.. so please keep that in mind and remind others. try to sound normal, and sometimes normal, just louder.. get a cone to direct the sound so less yelling is needed. 🍀 if only for future reference/inspiration, it also may be helpful to consider; does this beed or individual often need hair cuts to look like they do in the picture? if so, another picture with longer hair, or a picture of a very similar hair cut or lack there of, might help them be identified in their current or future state.. 🍀 Give paper copies of pictures and helpful suggestions to all of your neighbors or anyone in the area.. 🍀If they are panicking and not lisitng to words. try these methods 🍀with just lots of your and other familiar smells, find them and then sit and wait up wind. hopefully they will smell you and see you are calm and friendly.. 🍀 Suggestions by Rena Hays: set a Humane live trap. Traps MUST BE MONITORED CLOSELY.. alert all neighbors and ask to check sheds, garages, under decks, bushes, even old dog houses. If possible place the pets bed in garage with food and something that smells like home. Leave garage door up just enough to allow entry for kitty. Best of Luck 🐾 🍀 USE CAUTION DURING DIFFICULT WEATHER, TRAPS SHOULD BE MONITORED EVERY 30 to 45 MINUTES for the safety and the well being of the animal. Hope that helps good luck 🙏🏻

Fostering? Often systems and people will pay for ALL the food and tools you need to foster! They even often pay for neutering, vaccinations, and flee and worm medications! Temporary fostering should be a really good way to help. Many shelters and rescues agree! So many more people would help if it was only for a day or 2 or 3 maybe a week at most, for most.. And i bet many of them will become long term fosters and even adopt them. to make it work we would need a local and semi local list of temporary fosters; how long and how often and when they are likely available.. then we can call them on short notice to go pick them up or meet or be ready for a drop off.. that and linking them all to the resource networks so they can get supplies they need donated. Many ai tools can help organize that very well now. Not sure if any free ones can, but id say its a 99% chance a free one will work wonders. That and we need to get the word out about it.. they cant sign up if it doesnt exist and or they dont know about it. Also we need to expand the laws against sėlling people for profit... ..and buýing them.. Rescues and shelters are the ONLY ones that should be able to sęll people -> to rescue them.... .. and laws against non medically necessary surgery or body modifications. Anyway, Ultimately the best way to spend cash on these problems is to support neutering programs and get your friends to take their's in.. every dollar spent on that saves 1000s of dollars in just a year or 2.. therefore saving many more lives than endlessly donating on the rescue end ever will😔 ..Rescues and shelters still need help obviously, but the best way to lower the amount of cash they need, is to lower the amount of "unwanted" people they have to help.. Thank you for helping spread the ideas🙏🏻
