Message from Owner

A few weeks ago I made a post about my missing cat Leela through PawBoost. On March 30th I received an email from a Claire Margolis, in which she said she came across the post and wanted to “give me peace of mind” and tell me that Leela had walked into her hse “on her own” in early February. Although Leela was wearing a collar the day she went missing, Claire decided that her “dogs and cats” were not enough yet and kept Leela for herself. After I explained to her that Leela was wearing a collar, which should tell you that she belongs to someone, as well as letting her know that our family has been heartbroken since she went missing and offering to pay for Leela’s vet bill, Claire did not reply. So, I wanted to share this with anyone who has not gotten a chance to chip their pets yet. Do it, do it soon because there are selfish, miserable people out there who will just decide to keep what’s not theirs. When Leela first came into our , the very next day, I went to the vet to check for a chip, I looked online for any reports of missing cats. I wanted to find her family and when we didn’t, we decided to let her join ours. There are people who will do the right thing. And then there’s Claire Margolis. I hope Claire Margolis sees this and I hope karma gets her back. The photo I will attach is from Claire Margolis. If you recognize her tattoo, I hope you shame her for what she has done. We need less people like her in this world. To anyone who was looking out for Leela and shared her post: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. But it is not necessary any more, as we have lost her forever.

Post on Nextdoor and Ring apps. Ask neighbors to check car hoods, garages and sheds immediately. Make sure to tap hoods of the car around. Keep an entryway open for cat to get in. Buy or loan a live cat trap from online stores or local tnr groups. Leave your garage open with cat to enter. Put some food and your clothing there for smell. Get a motion sensor camera to detect when cat is around your property

Put litter box outside if she has one. It worked for me.

When she does come home please keep her inside as there are too many dangers outside for a cat. Thank you for giving the gift of a loving family

Check on 24petconnect.com, they are linked to all the local shelters and you can search by your zip code. Call and physically go into the shelters to look for her.

Also try playing cats or kittens meowing on YouTube outside in your yard or in a window of your home. Check with neighbors as she may have been accidentally locked in a garage or shed.

Try putting something outside with your scent on it, worn socks seem to work best. If you have a garage put a bowl of food in there and leave the door open enough for her to get in. Although I am sure you have already done this, start searching immediately and keep looking. Look in bushes, under cars, and anywhere she can crawl into, they tend to stay close to home. Take a can of food with you and call her name or use whatever sound gets her to come to you. Search early morning, evenings with a flashlight, and late at night. Praying for her safe return home 🙏
