Message from Owner

My sweetest older guy Ozzy went missing from our hse on Friday. We live in Oak Forest neighborhood in Buda Tx. He’s 12 years old and such a scaredy cat. He loves to sleep all day and sunbathe, and he never strays far but he is a runner if he hears fireworks or loud sounds or if something spooks him so I’m worried that might’ve happened overnight and he lost his way. He probably won’t come up to you or let you approach him but maybe if he’s desperate. He’s a large (about 18 lbs.) orange and white striped tabby cat. He has light green eyes. And a pinking color with a hang tag. He’s so darling and I love him SOOOOOOOOOOOO much. I’m literally sick over him being missing. Please please PLEASE keep and eye out for him or if you saw him in the past days he’s been missing PLEASE let me know. There’s a $1,000 REWARD for anyone that finds him. Any Information would be so so appreciated. He’s my sweet boy and has always been by my side for 12 years I don’t want it to be over with him. Please help!

Here's some tips that worked for me when I lost a couple of cats in the past. Good luck! I hope you find your kitty! Please place a live trap where your kitty was last seen and put fresh wet catfood on a small paper plate pushed at the very back of the cage so that it will be easier for the spring to engage the trap door when it is stepped on. Fancy Feast wet catfood, especially a fishy smelling type, may help attract your kitty quickly. (A canned paté is easier to place inside a cage, instead of messy gravy-based kind, just fyi.) I used a live trap one time when I lost a cat at the vet clinic where he ran into a big, overgrown park, and I would put Fancy Feast canned catfood on a small paper plate in the back of the live trap. I replaced the food on a new small paper plate every morning. I also used a cat-attracting pheromone spray that I bought at a pet store (a pheromone spray that attracts cats but not wildlife), and I rented a live trap from them, as well. Live traps might be able to be rented from the humane society, but, if not, they are relatively inexpensive at pet stores and can be bought online, too. (If you're worried about using a live trap, I only recently heard there are gravity traps that are not spring-loaded, but I don't know how well they work at capturing a cat.) I draped a dirty bedsheet over the sides of the cage to help camouflage the trap that I used, while leaving the opening and the end of the cage free from cloth so that there would be good air flow circulation. I put his toys around the cage, along with a few strands of my hair, all in hopes that he would pick up my scent and his, as well. Also, please walk that area where your cat was last seen and the area near your home every early morning and at dusk or even late at night, if possible, when all the noise has calmed down. Early morning and at night are times for your cat to hear and see you more easily, and those times are probably when your kitty may be less stressed, when human traffic has dwindled. When calling your cat's name, please use a happy, carefree tone. The sound of your voice when it is not stressed will make your cat feel safe and maybe your cat will come to you. Also, putting up laminated Lost Cat flyers are helpful, and sometimes offering a small reward can help bring lost pets back home. Talking to your neighbors and asking them to check sheds and garages might help keep your cat from being trapped somewhere, in case that is a possibility. After nine days, I found my kitty in the trap. I moved the trap to a second location after getting a tip from someone who saw my flyer and who then saw my cat a few days later. I set the trap in the new location and found him in the trap the very next morning. I brought him all the way inside my house before I opened the live trap door, so that I made sure he was back safe and sound in the residence. I lost another cat years before when he escaped from the house five minutes after he entered it for the first time, and he was missing for 27 days, until I found him in my backyard late at night. I did the same things mentioned above, except for a trap, and I walked and biked the area for a block around the home every day multiple times a day, whenever I could. I didn't search more than a block because he was fixed and wouldn't have traveled far. I always called his name a lot and loudly, especially while in my yard, not worrying what the neighbors thought, so that my voice was loud enough for him to hear. On the 27th night of his disappearance, I heard him meowing outside and found him very thin in my backyard, but other than that, he was fine, and he gained weight quickly and lived to be a very old cat. Don't give up hope. Please look for your kitty as best you can. Good luck. I hope you find your kitty soon!!! I hope the very best for your kitty and for you! May you both be reunited soon!!

There was a male ginger big guy found on one of these pages injured (×××××) passed at the vet. A lady took him in trying to save him. Not saying its this one but call vets has anyone brought one in for medical that passed. They were holding him for a few days to give the owner time to find out and claim him.

Leave some of your laundry outside your home to help him find his way home by scent. Also leave a door, lower window, garage door cracked open enough for him to find a way back into the home. They normally try to get back inside the same way they got out. If he is scared, he may be moving at night when it is quieter and looking for a way back inside. Hope this helps 🙏

Still Missing Elgin Texas. The shelter wanted him gone, he was unfriendly hated to be touched ate like a pig 🐖 and scratched at windows and doors constantly trying to get outside. He was 5 years old and was a street cat 🐈 from Houston never had a home 🏠 They said I could have him for $5. He stayed with me 3 years then escaped to the yard and would only come inside if it was unbearably cold at night. I tried everything to keep him inside but he hated it. Outside he’d come running to me and follow me everywhere. Then November 19, 2020 he was asleep 💤💤💤💤 on the porch and next morning he was gone. I loved ❤️him so much. I lost over 60 pounds grieving and searching for him and I still look.
