MISSING CAT. This is Chi. She's around 7 years old and she has been missing for 3-4 days. We think she hitched a ride in my husband's truck so she could be anywhere between Western Ave (near John May) and Karns Middle/High School. My husband says he drove from Western Ave down Schaad Ra, turned onto Ball Ra, then Byington Solway to Gray Hendrix to get to Karns Middle. Then from there he took Garrison Rd to Byington Beaver Ridge, and went by the underpass to get to Karns High. Then he went back to Byington Beaver Ridge and took Oak Ridge Hwy back to Western/John May. She could be ANYWHERE. Please keep an eye out for her!! She's normally an inside cat and gets really scared when she's outside and meows like crazy. But every once in a while she is quiet and climbs up under the hood of my husband's truck instead. The last time this happened (3-4 years ago) she made it all the way from our hse to the Air Force base so I'm hopeful she's still out there and someone spots her! If you do happen to see her, please email, text or call me! She's friendly, but ANXIOUS and normally only responds to familiar voices.

I went to Young-Williams Animal Center off of Division Street yesterday & am fairly positive this cat is there.

The same thing happened to me with my cat. He accidentally got outside and didn’t return for two days. He was a 100% indoor cat, so I was extremely worried. I searched everywhere the first night but couldn’t find him. The following night, I left food outside on my porch and kept the back door slightly open. I put my other cat in my bedroom so he couldn’t get out. To my surprise, I heard something early the next morning. I got up and discovered that it was my missing cat! He came home around 4:00 a.m., when everything was completely quiet. Don’t lose hope. Cats often hide nearby when they are frightened and come back late at night when there is no noise or activity. I truly hope your baby returns home safely very soon. 🙏🐾

Go around late at night calling them with food and flashlight to catch their eyes. Check around your neighborhood under houses and in small places where they may hide. Put stuff out that has yours and their scent on it. Hang flyers around for people to see. Check shelters and vets daily. Update chip info if they have a chip and its has not been update since a move. Ask neighbors to check in their garages incase they ended up trapped in one. I pray you get your baby back safe and soon.

Go out early morning or after dark and quietly call your cat....chances are you cat is scared and hiding....take a flashlight ...if your cat doesn't come to you, shine it around to see if it catches it's eyes...under bushes and in the trees. Put a BIG, COLORFUL sign at the last place seen so people know where your cat belongs if they spot him or her…ask your neighbors to check sheds, crawl spaces and garages. Go to your local shelters every day or 2 to look for yourself…please don't depend on a phone call. The person you speak to may not be aware that your pet might have been turned in. If possible leave your door or window open a crack while you're home.

Be sure to GO to your LOCAL SHELTERS with a photo and report your pet lost (your pet may have been taken to a shelter that is not the closest one to you). They have a board for both lost and found pets. Many finders take pets they find to them. Remember, NOT EVERYONE is on Social Media. There's some excellent advice on Missing Animal Response Network on Facebook as well as their website. Additional advice can be found on the website under the drop down menu labeled lost pet help.

I am so sorry about your Kitty being lost. Put the Owner's worn clothes outside all around the house or where the kitty was lost. Kitties don't go far, but they do hide a lot. When it is quiet and darker, go out and shake her food bowl and treat bag and hopefully she will hear it and come out. Take a flashlight out at night Kitty’s eyes will reflect and make the kitty easier to see. Talk quietly to her like you would if she was inside - yelling can scare them, though this is what we want to do because we want them HOME!! Knock on doors. Someone may have taken your Kitty in so she/he doesn't get hurt. Also ck with your Neighbors and ck their storage areas, sheds, etc. I know of a Kitty who was found in a storage room that had only been open for 5 mins. Put out flyers everywhere - stores, intersections, etc., and put the info on your car windows so that it gets the info out to more people. Use multiple actions to find your Pet...using only one may limit your success in getting your Kitty Home. Look inside over and over. Shake treats. Open food cans if you use canned food. - Any sound that the Kitty may come to. They are very good at hiding so she may have never left the house. Check with delivery people (mail, Amazon, Fed Ex, UPS, etc.) to see if they have seen your Pet. I'll be Praying for the Kitty to be found soon! Also, open the door he escaped from and leave open as long as possible. He will try to come back in that same way. If you haven’t already, try putting the pet on PawBoost.com. They help find lost pets. This link has some really helpful info as well: https://www.facebook.com/MissingAnimalResponse/ Do be careful of scammers. Some people call or text and say they have your Pet just to get money. Pitiful!!

Give flyers to the local vet offices and mail carriers too!! Missing Animal Response Network has excellent advice on what to do when your pet goes missing. The section about NEON signs is a must but all of the tips will also help you in your efforts to find your pet. Try putting a large lost sign at the last place seen (someone else may have seen something). Also check on Craigslist under pets lost/found.
