Message from Owner

Hi everyone, my new cat Michu ran away around 6:30pm in Deer Hollow. I last saw her around the large lake on the outskirts of the subdivision, I'm not sure if she got onto the side next to John Young Parkway. I just got her from an acquaintance, so she’s not used to the area. I'm not sure if she is chipped either. She is very shy and might be spooked easily, but is very sweet. If you see her please contact me. Thank you! I've put up flyers and left food and some items at our front door for her to hopefully find her way back. Also have been walking around yesterday and today looking for her but no luck yet.

❤️🐾 Make sure to check your local animal shelter DAILY to see if your cat was picked up or turned in.

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. Mainly their litter box and sprinkle their used litter around the yard as they'll recognize the smell and it'll deter other animals from coming around. 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 and to check their cameras in case they appeared on them to get a sense of direction they could be. I pray you get your baby back safe and soon.

I’m so sorry your beautiful pale orange (ginger) cat got outside into a territory that is unfamiliar. Had she been inside the house for a while (is she acquainted with it) or did you bring her to an unfamiliar place and let her go? I ask because cats are territorial -- meaning their behavior is dictated by their comfort level and familiarity with their environment. In a place they do not know a cat will become terrified and hide, refusing to come when called or emerge in the daylight. That said, most cats in this situation will attempt to return on their own, usually within the first few nights if the conditions are just right, so if you know what to expect and how to react, you could have her back inside by morning. The following strategy works if Michu has been inside the home and is familiar with it. If she was simply let go, she may return to the point at which she was deposited, and failing to enter the house, you'll have to establish the place where she's comfortable emerging at night for food and eventually trap her. I've recovered many escaped cats and have a full set of instructions, but I’ll withhold them for now, hopeful you won’t need them. This is what I suggest you do and when: DURING THE DAYTIME alert nearby neighbors in case Michu is hiding just beyond your property (under a vehicle, outdoor furniture, shrubs, or in a garage, shed, or carport, etc.), then, if there’s time before dark and you can search SILENTLY without dislodging her from her hiding spot, focus your efforts close to home and tiptoe around in the daylight using a flashlight, but be quiet and discreet so as not to frighten her (shhh! DO NOT CALL or shake treats), check every crack and crevice, look in, under and around sheds, vehicles, furniture, under foundations and porches, into trees etc. but suspend searching when it gets dark to give her the chance to return voluntarily. AT DUSK lay a familiar blanket or worn teeshirt flat on the doorstep where she escaped (DO NOT USE a litter box, bedding, trap or anything obvious -- it's there for scent only to give Michu the confidence to come out of hiding) along with a bowl of food (to calm her and hold her attention). Call her softly to provide a familiar sound and direction, then watch and listen closely from inside (DO NOT GO BACK OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT!) and if you see Michu approach and settle on the food be very careful not to startle her as you slowly and quietly provide a clear path back inside. If you can't wait up, set an alarm and watch again just before sunrise -- it's a popular time to return. Please let me know what happens tonight and if she's not back by morning, I'll provide more detailed instructions. Also, although some suggest putting out kitty's litter box, EXPERTS WARN AGAINST IT. I've never used one in all the times I've been successful recovering a lost cat.
